Our complex had a Halloween party last weekend...in which they held a costume contest at the end: 1st place went to a pirate family, 2nd place went to a terrible costume, and 3rd place went to US: MARIO (Nico), Luigi (Peter), and Princess Peach (me)!
I must share however, that I am most proud of this costume because I MADE IN MYSELF!
I got the instructions for the tutu from a BLACK SWAN costume that was on my friend Alyssa's FB page.Here's what I did:
1. Rolled up the Tull and cut it into 6'' segments
2. I measure the elastic around my waist and subracted 4'', and sewed both ends together
3. the I unwrapped the 6'' tull rolls and cut those into 30'' pieces.
(That's when the fun began!)
Soon, the tutu looked like this!!!!!
5. Then I started working on the Skirt that would go over the tutu. Because I've never made a dress before in my life, it was a little difficult. I actually had to do carefull trial and error, since I didn't have any extra material either =0 6. Making the Top was also diffuclt. SO i winged it...and this is what came out =).
7. I added the finally touches and reinforeced the seems so that I could dance the night away without worrying about my dress coming undone!8. I had white gloves, white knee high socks, a crown, a necklace, a HUGE pink ring, and a GINORMOUS blonde wig to finish off my costume!
This was the first time I got to dress up as a PRINCESS and I felt like one!!!!
Here are some pictures of the night =)
