Halloween Costume Continued.


So far, this is what I have come up with. It's not 100% what Katy Perry is wearing, but It's kinda close. I'm going to make the corset for this pattern with the fabric under it. The fabric is a bit more tinklerbell than lime green, but whatevs. It has glitter in it. I was excited.
More to follow. I'm cutting out the pattern now and I should have tons of fabric left for the skirt. Polka dotted heels okay? They never really show her feet. I also bought fabric to make the veil she's wearing. Including large rosettes which I probably could've made myself and am still debating about returning.

Halloween Costume Idea

So I've decided to be Katy Perry and Elmo for Halloween. The idea was for it to be a couples costume. With the guy wearing this:
or even something like this

and me wearing something similar to Katy Perry's outfit from this video:



Except I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to ride solo on this one, so I need to buy an elmo doll.

Regardless, I had to figure out what the green dress looks like from top to bottom, so this is the sketch I've come up with so far.

Well I couldn't find a lime green corset, and I'm not sure about all the chiffon-y-ness that is going on in the back, but hopefully I'll be able to come up with something close. I'm not sure about the neckline either. What kind of sheer material to use for the front? I'll let you know updates.
