Thread: The Costumer

Tweet

Hi!

I am a new member here at the Halloween Forum!

I have been into costumes since around 1995.

I do have a seamstress that makes my costumes. Though I tend to get additional extras to make a second or third character out of one costume.

With the financial crisis, I have lately checking into stores like Goodwill and so forth.

Coming from Southeast Louisiana I also have Mardi Gras as well as Halloween.

Some of my characters I portray are:

George Washington

Mozart (all in purple)

Johann Sebastion Bach

A Colonial Tradesman

A Colonial Partygoer

French Aristocrat - Monsieur Beaucaire in golden brocade

French Aristocrat - Duke D'Orleans in dark green brocade

Charley's Aunt - From the film and stage play like Jack Benny & Ray Bolger

A Victorian Grandmother complete with pipe, shawl and bun!

A Roman Centurian

Merlin The Magician

A Midieviel Friar

A Countess in a very large hoopskirt with Ermine like capelet and tiara With a set of vampire fangs and real lips this makes a great Halloween costume. "Countess Dracula!

Little Lord Fauntleroy

And from the Thrift stores- Martha Stewart!

Future costumes ( one of these days when the economy turns around)

A Renaissance King
A Pharoah

I willl have to find out how to show photos on the threads and blogs. I assume I can post from photobucket!

It's nice to find a costume forum and be able to duscuss costuming with others.

Hi!

Thanks for the welcome.

You can see all of my costumes at my site in my picture album.

For 2008 I will be dressing as a woman. A swinging Grandmother no doubt who smokes a pipe and swings a mean purse!

See the attached picture.
