costume

Happy Halloween!

Because of school I didn't have time to make a costume this year, so I decided to use feathers to turn existing clothing into a raven costume. I also have a great raven mask from the Pottery Barn of all places.

Here's a preview of what I have done for the upper half. God, I hope the feathers stay in place! They are only pinned to the bodice with straight pins since they will have to come off afterwards. Any advice?

[EDIT] I've decided to use small black safety pins.

You could do a layer of masking tape on the inside of the bodice to help hold the feathers together so they are less likely to fall out one by one. It looks great though! :-)

It's actually a strip of feathers on a ribbon binding. God, I love Ebay! I think I'll use tiny black safety pins. It's Halloween and no one will care!
