So after much cajoling and begging, I have convinced Dad to be Sweeney Todd to my Mrs. Lovett (please no thoughts of incest here). We’ve decided to go all out for Halloween and are decorating the garage to look like the Meat Pie Shoppe and Todd’s Barber Shoppe. Thankfully my outfit is nearly complete. I want to add some more trim to the bodice and I need to finish my corset. However, the skirt (in all its glory) is finished! It looks SUPER awesome. I worked VERY hard on it too.
The pattern I used was TV’s 1875 Parisian Trained Skirt. I tried it on with the grand bustle I made and it is fabulous. I’ll post some pictures of me in the completed outfit once I finish the trim on the bodice. Until then, please enjoy the pictures of the skirt!
****UPDATE*******
Halloween went so well! My costume and “haunted house” was a big hit. Here are some highlights of the night. My BFF, AL, went as Marie Antoinette (yes, we know she’s an anachronism, but it was good to have some color at my Meat Pie Shop!)
