So glad you got your feather and your hubbys costume done! Good luck on getting yours all put together!! I know you can do it and it will look fantastic I am sure of it! Make sure you post some pics when you are done!
You are so sweet! But by some miracle, my local Michaels finally got red ones in! I am so happy! The elvis costume is almost done, so I'll be seeing if I can make a costume from scratch in 30 days. Haha, wish me luck!
just got a beautiful red feather from the local costume store yesterday and thought of you. If you would like I can send one off to you if you still are looking. They also have some beautiful black and white ones as well. Let me know, I would be happy to do it!
I know you were interested in my RingMaster costume and I did post some pics under the Costume section under the title "RingMaster w/ pics" Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!
That sounds fantastic! For the corset could you create an overlay that you attach to the top and bottom of the corset (maybe tuck in) and attach the buttons to that? I don't know if that would destroy the aesthetic, but it's an idea. Good luck with everything! I hope you post pictures.
I have decided to be a ringmaster of my own evil circus so this is the idea for the costume so far: I got a dress from a garage sale for $1 that is a thin red/white stripe with a ruffle that goes off shoulder and I am going to put a black corset over it so the ruffle just comes over the top of it. The bottom of the dress is full and comes to the mid ankle with a white crenalin (sp?) under. So I am going to tuck it under itself in the front and sides so it kind of bubbles out and leave it long in the back so it looks like tails in a way. Then under I will wear some tights with some high boots. My make up will be red and black dark looking. I havent decided on the top hat if it will be a mini or full, but I am going to crimp my hair so it will be really ratted out with the top hat on top. On the top hat I will do some feathers and maybe brass buttons. I may actually put brass buttons on either side of the corset front closure and drape the gold chain between them. Not sure how I will attach those without leaving holes in the corset after though. Of course I will also have a whip to keep everyone in line! LOL. I hope this helps. Just started with it so I need to bring it all together as I find some of the components.
I saw your post about your theme dilemma and I wanted to know more about your costume. I'm working on my lion tamer costume for this year and I love to see other people's ideas. Good luck with your party!
