So Thanksgiving is a few days away, so what am I posting? My finished Halloween costumes of course! Sorry it took forever to get these photos, my sister took them and she has been quite busy with school so it took her a while to send them my way. Well, better late then never!
So as most of you know, I decided on Poison Ivy this year. I dyed my stockings, I made my gloves, I made my boots, I made the leafy eyebrow pieces and I made some fake lashes to top it off (which I did wear for the party I went to, but I forgot to bring them to take pictures of the costume a few days later unfortunately). 
Full body shot
Close up of my face.
I ended up being invited to another Halloween party last minute, but I didn't want to reuse the same costume (mostly for comfort reasons - those boots killed my feet) so I pulled out my old wind up key that I made for Halloween a few years ago and two petticoats I made - one for Halloween and one for a friends bachelorette party and a little flower ring I made - and threw a costume together. 
I made the black circle skirt on a whim a few days before I was invited to the party and thought it would fit the costume perfectly. I decided the color scheme would be black and pink because the belt, one of the petticoats and the ring were hot pink (my friend had a Barbie bachelorette party). I poked a hole through the back of the belt and stuck the wind up key through it. They day of I actually curled my hair and my sister loaned me a pair of pink and white socks. I also had a different pair of black flats. I went with contacts as well because the fake eyelashes were too big to be contained by glasses.
Here is a kind of crummy picture of the costume the day of the party so you can see my hair (kind of), the socks and the wind up key.
My sister needed a costume to wear at her extra curricular activities and whatnot and after finding some awesome fabric at the store she decided she wanted me to make her a simple cloak so she could be a wizard. I also ended up making her a want too as seen in this post.
Here is what the fabric looks like with the wand.
I found a lot of patterns for "circle skirt" type cloaks but I wanted to do something fairly simple because I didn't have that much time and I only had two yards of fabric. I ended up finding this website that explained how to make a cloak very simply and with a maximum of 2 yards of fabric, yay!
And action shots:
I made the hood come to a point.
The fabric flowed nicely and looked awesome when she walked around.
She just wore her street clothes underneath.
I actually really loved how the cloak turned out. I'm half considering being something next Halloween that involves a cloak of some kind so I can make myself one!
