[QUOTE=LadyAlthea;513775]this was me last year, this year im going to use my renne fair garb and add some makeup so that i look as if ive been under the sea abit...

Fabulous makeup. WOW. I've been trying to master the halloween makeup forever and I still don't even come close to this. Well Done!!!

I'm going to be a 18th century ghost. I've got my dress pattern in the mail so i'm just hoping it gets here soon so i'll have enough time to finish it!

Ok, here's me for this year:



i have been debating whether or not to go with the cape, or if it might look a little silly with the corset. Thoughts?
Also, I am still looking for the right hat to complete the outfit, and I have some Liquid Latex to play around with too. I've never used it before, so I don't want to use it all testing it!!
Everything else is there though.

Freudstein, how about a black mini top hat? I have seen several of them on eBay.
It's possible that the cape could look good with the corset...guess it depends on what type of cape, though. Do you have one or will you have to buy it? If you have one you should take a picture with it and get opinions.

I would have to buy the cape, as I don't own one already. Plus I am quite small, so buying one brings up the question of it being too long.....

As for the hat, I would like something similar to a top hat, but a more feminine version. I'm not really keen on those mini-hats. I think they look a bit odd.

I guess mini is the wrong word for what I meant. This is more what I was thinking of, a feminine top hat:



Although, I do think this mini one would look very good with the outfit.

I really like that first one! And the last one; i love the veil part. I've been looking for something like that(a top-hat with a veil or feathers), but I think white would go better instead of red....which I'm having no luck finding!

Hmmm....some search terms I've used is steampunk, lolita, burlesque, and Victorian. Just add those in front of hat or top hat and see what you can come up with. I know there's tons of stuff out there.
