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.
