overall thoughts: as a last minute halloween costume, it wasn't too bad. of course i didn't sew it myself, and there were so many terrible overlooks on details that i'm normally a stickler on, but my friend and i did win first place in rice's halloween contest! don't know when we'll actually go eat $100 of buffalo wings, but we'll make time :P
Dress and Shoes: Bought them for ~$10 from Goodwill. The khaki wrap dress was about 5 sizes too big so I sewed it in and cut off the bottom hem. The scraps were used for the mask. Didn't have tea so I couldn't get that old worn look and went with bloodstains instead.
Mask: The mask was made with CVS gauze, leftover fabric strips and mod podge. I glued strips of twisted paper beneath the fabric to give the mask a more texture, but I have no idea how to paint depth. I gave myself one eyehole so that i could see, but had no peripheral vision so I walked creepily all night. That worked to my advantage lol
Hat: just made the hat with leftover strips from the dress and used interfacing to make it stand up. I molded it into the mask itself.
Last minute touches: painted veins all over with acrylic paint. thankfully that stuff washes off
Until next time!
