Crafty Tuesday: Caroline’s Halloween Costume Concept 2015

Posted By on October 20, 2015

It’s that time of year where Caroline has decided what she wants for her Halloween costume and I am going to be making it. The fun is that she has a Halloween party on Friday that she wants her costume for. I have a little less time than I would like.

She has chosen to be Destiny Harper from the Vamplets series. She wants the ball gown in the photo.

(For the VI: This is the cover of the 3rd Vamplet graphic novel. In the middle is Destiny wearing a blue ball gown with purple accents. She is trying to carry a tea tray and is being tripped up by the vamplets)

I found a pattern I can use for it so I don’t have to draft something.

(for the VI: This is a pattern for the movie Cinderella and Fairy Godmother costumes.)

I do have to change things a bit but that takes less time.

Three days and one heck of a dress and accessories. Let’s see if I can do this.

Next week I’ll be showing how I did it and the final product.

I am grateful that I have a skill set that allows me to make these things.
