Next year I am going to buy mine instead

August 24th, 2009

Up until my thirties, we would all dress up on the scariest holiday of the year. We would have loads of fun, and the best part was the creating of the outfits myself. One year my friend and I decided to both make our own. I was a female pirate; she went as a French maid. She said that in the future she was not making any more Halloween fancy dress costumes for herself. But, I will never give in, because it is such a creative outlet for me. I made and wore black baggy pants with tall leather boots. I worked at a tool and die at the time, and had access to metal so I made a fake dagger, and some scrap copper in a bag made me a gold pouch. I glued a feather in my old bridesmaid’s hat, and hung a borrowed leather bullwhip from my shoulders. It came out great, and I do not mind admitting it. I always go for the unusual when I am making my own outfits.
