I totally feel in love with the Countess prop at Lowes, and agoniozed for a month over whether to get her. I know I wouldn't be satisfied with her clothes and accessories.

Yesterday I broke down and got her. I put a different wig and dress on her, and better jewellery. Not finished with her yet but it's a start.

Need to redo her staff because it looks cheap now next to het new stuff. Will probably move the electronics to a skull staff I put together. She also needs a bat tiara or something on her head. I am probably not going to remake the collar in better fabrics, though I am considering it, just because her hair looks so good now and it's so long I'd have to do an up-do with her wig.

The other problem is new new outfit is a bit more restrictive so she doesn't move as much. I don't want to burn out her motors so I need to adjust that. I don't expect we'll have her on much anyway, but I want her to work when we do.

I'll post more as I make more progress!

She looks great, I love her new hair. The color and look of it do wonders for her. Can't wait to see her final makeover.

Yeah, that's why I don't want to mess it up with the collar. I am thinking maybe a bat tiara with a long black veil. Everything I want to do for her I have stuff on hand to do it. I mean he dress is made from some of my clothes & jewelry I haven't worn in a while! I am a goth, a costumer and a jewelry designer so i should be able to fix her up with what i have.

She looks great with the changes. The black veil you mentioned will make it even better. She will look like a Victorian in mourning.

Nice upgrade! Keep it up.

I would still like to get her a waist cincher type deal, and that staff still needs work but I am calling her good for this week. I have other things to attend to and this would do. You can see my warlock staff on the shelf behind her with the crystal. I really want to make her something more like that, but with the skull. I do like the skull. Yes, the staff still lights up but it's not so obnoxiously bright.

Also you really can't see how sparklie her dress & veil is in the images. In the dimmer spooky lights I'll have during the party it'll look great.

The dress looks so much better! Did you make it? Very nice job!

The underskirt is just a floor length tulle tutu affair. The top is a crushed velvet top with flared sleeves I have had for a very long time but haven't worn in years. The overskirt, I got some different glitter tulles and nets and Halloween laces, all black sparkle on black. These I cut into strips then tied to a satin ribbon to make the overskirt. There is some of the veil fabric in the overskirt.

She's dressed better than most girls at the goth club these days. In fact I have worn an outfit like ithis on more than a few ocassions, though I usually add a corset and I wear it lower cut.

Want to dress a gothy prop? Have an old goth seamstress do it. ;-)

She seriously creeped me out in-store (although she wasn't on), but the hair is too bright. I like what you've done.
