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.

Advice? ADVICE?

That's like bringing water as a gift for the river, sweetie. Everything you make is gorgeous.

I can't wait to see pics of it on!

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! :-)

Can you baste the feathers on? Basting threads are easy to take out later, but generally hold better than straight pins. (I baste A LOT.)

You're gonna look fabooo!

And you can wear the bird skull necklace Jason was so sweet to surprise you with!
