Oh Kelly is the corset one of yours?

Yeah, it is. It was a last-second addition to the costume since I had to cover the waistline of my dress. I used coveralls as the base for all our costumes, and for mine I chopped them in half at the waist, completely disassembled the pants and cut them lengthwise to get the fabric for the skirt. Since most of what ended up at the waist was once the cuffs of the pants they looked pretty rough. I happened to have some brown fake leather PVC on hand so I figured a cincher would be a good way to go.

There are more construction detail stuff on my flickr if you're interested, I just finished uploading them there as well. Facebook just came first since no one else from the group is on flickr.

Ended up not doing anything for Halloween this year, so I'll repost my turn as the Mad Hatter (from a Photo Friday many years ago) in, "The Mad Hatter vs. the White Rabbit":

I didn't get any pictures of me but I know someone did. The Mrs. and I hosted a "trunk" at our church's Truck or Treat. She was a princess and I was a pirate. If I can find someone with a pic I'll put it up (check back in this thread).

It was like the disembodied heads from Futurama.

Here's me.

And yes, Thanks to D.C. for his special appearance at Bunnycon!

We ended up having more Mefites and Stewfriends than Bunnehs, sadly. Brujita made it down from NY and D.C. was there via Skpye.

BoringPostcards, sadly, had to send his regrets. We missed you!

I didn't dress up this year. I made a costume for one of my kids: Alien Abduction. I wanted to make my little kid Frankenstein but he wanted to be Darth Vader.

It's very blurry, which is unfortunate, because I had a lot of fun being Julia.

LOVE the Alien Abduction, Lori - very very witty.

Finally got another chance to break out the sari.
