Taking a slight diversion from our Awesome Jane Austin Week,
I have a post about my sister's new costume.
About a month ago, my sister Raven asked me if I'd make her a halloween costume. Raven lives in Hawaii where she goes to the university, so I wanted to make it while she is still with us. Thus I made it NOW.
Raven is the ultimate horror movie fan and her costume is from the movie "Sucker Punch" (which BTW I do not recommend to anyone!) I saw only a clip and sketched the dress out and then we went to Joannes to get a pattern and material.
After searching through all the Simplicity and McCalls patterns, I turned to a Burda pattern book. I found this:
It had all the elements except, sleeves, a collor and a button down front. So I altered it-and by God's grace it worked!.
The result is amazing and the dress fits her to a T.
The dress is gray with a light gray sailor callor. It buttons down the front and has a pleated skirt.
There is a "bow tie" type knot in the front.
Pleated bottom mini-skirt.

Back of dress.
I was very happy, and my sister will pick up the dress today before returning to school tomorrow. I think this whole project was a blessing because we bonded!
Oh- and in case you are wondering the entire dress including the pattern cost $25. i think packaged Halloween costumes can cost more!
