New Years Eve Costumes


Well I did it. I also got Anthony's costume done in about an hour, before we left. He realised he had nothing, so I dove into my stash and came up with some old white sheet that had been hacked into, and one yellow satin sheet that I'm meaning to turn into some 1880's delight, and pinned it and voila!

We didn't win the costume prize, but we were pretty good I reckon!

I modified the Sense & Sensibility Elegant Ladies Closet Cross Over gown,



The arrows are made from dowel painted silver, with black fake feathers bound to the top. I only sharpened 2 of the 6. The vinyl wouldn't stay on with glue to the posttube quiver, so I glued as much as I could and then bound it with green ribbon. Nice effect I thought.





Here we have Grecians mixing with a Roman. Tensions were high. But we made it without killing one another. A good night, with guests such as Mario and Luigi, Princess Fiona in Ogre form, Batman, Bellatrix Lestrange, Daisy and Princess Peach, Harry Potter, Jessica Fletcher from Murder she Wrote, Wally from Where's Wally, Shrek and some cops and gangsters and inmates.
