Sewing

well since it is halloween I thought I would be creative and make my own halloween costume. This has proven to be a lot harder than I anticipated. I chose to be Miley Cyrus in her Fly on the Wall outfit from her tour (here is a pic: http://dresslikemiley.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=7&pos=14) Well I went out shopping found the tank top, easy check it off. Then I was in search of the footwear. I went to 3 or 4 places and then I found the socks, not a knock off but pretty much IDENTICAL to the ones she wore! so cool. check it off. Next was the boots she wears combat boots that have white stripes on them... a little harder to do so I went to the army navy store bought some boots for 25$ and I am duct taping white stripes on with white duct tape, pretty creative I thought. Now for the shorts I am still in serious pursuit of these worst comes to worst I will have to wear just black or white spandex shorts hopefully though I will be able to find the patterned ones she wears, it would be amazing if the same thing that happened to the socks happened with the shorts, oh I am keeping my fingers crossed (if you have any leads help a sista out). Now for the skirt, this is where the sewing part comes in, I have had a hay day figuring out how to make this. First I was going to buy a nasty white prom or wedding dress from DI and cut it up, then I decided eh why not just buy a white skirt and attach a bunch of fabric to it? Well this is exactly what I decided to do the dress isn't finished but so far it seems pretty simple, I can't wait to show it off this halloween weekend!
