ok, so I've about decided to abandon my witch idea.

I'm at a thrift store yesterday and find this AMAZING 1960's polyester floor length dress with a jacket. It's in gorgeous Kelly green, Lime green and hot pink - love it!! It was $8!! So I grab it!!

Well hell, now I can't think of anything to use it for!! The theme/category is Fictional Characters - either tv or movie.

All the 1960's bright colored ideas, call for a MINI skirt...not to the floor length. True, I could cut it and hem it...but no way in hell am I wearing a mini-skirt!! LOL I could cut to right above the knee. and buy some white gogo boots. I found some on Spirit that are the covers for $9 - not bad.

HOWEVER, I still have no "character". I have searched and searched!! Goldie Hawn in Laugh In is the closest I can come up with and she's not a "Character", she's real! LOL I thought about Phyllis Diller, add a boa, no need to cut the dress. But again, she's a person....not a fictional character.

So, crap, I'm back to square one, with no idea of what I could do!! LOL I am having way too much trouble with this!! :mad:

ANY ANY ideas?? :confused:

Is there any way you could provide pics of the outfit and/or with you in it?
on a trampoline? (j/k)
$8 that's a great bargain, lol @ church's on a trampoline comment.
Church, I have a website for those type pics! LOL JUST KIDDING!! LOL

See, I was actually thinking about Endora....but they were more the 1950s into the 60's look - all motherly and calm. No outrageous prints - this one is wild and bright!! Now, Endora I might could do....if I added a boa....got a red wig and put on the BLUE eyeshadow.

Halloween in UK - $8 was a good deal, cuz, it's actually a very nice dress with jacket! I LOVE the colors in it too!! I'd ALMOST wear it as normal clothes!! LOL At Halloween Express yesterday I did find the round 60's glasses in hot pink -

I MIGHT get hubby the Austin Powers costume and go as his babe. Is that lame?
No that sounds groovy ;) my son was dressed up for a 1960's school disco..The kids loved it, loads of them dressed as mini hippies and the beatles.
My husband wouldn't dress up as austin powers :( He's doing Charles Manson. I like the idea :)
Awwww comon' , post some pics, it's super easy. I know your husband is saying "don't do it baby, this guy is a creep" ...don't do it for me, do it for all the creeps out there.
ok, just for you church! Cuz you asked so stalkerish. LOL

i'll work on it this weekend, and try to post a pic next week. I'm going to try to make his Austin Powers - cuz $50 for it at Halloween Express is ridiculous!
I was going to suggest something from Austin Powers.
