I personnally made my Galadriel costume, and my fingers will never quite heal. I did alot of hand beading on it, and it turned out i didn't even use it. I will use it next year on Halloween, hope there is a great party to go to!!!!
But for authentic costumes tryClickyClicky
Well I kinda was looking at my closet ... and absolutly DYing to make a SAM ou fit ... and I did ... it is not perfect but I made a little elven broach and I wore a blanket and capri pants and suspenders and one of my moms really baggy shirts ... it looked good ... Oh and I put gell all over a sandy colored wig ... to make it like sams hair ... hey my nieghbor and her 5 year old reconized it as sam .. so I was happy!!!
ROSIE OUFIT!
THEN SINCE I did a Sam out fit I HAD to make a rosie cotton outfit ... ( i just put a bunch of skirts and an apron and an old nightgown and a type of bodice thing ... I kinda looked like a bar maid or A pirate wench... but with the right accsessories I looked perfect ... he sad thing is that is all in my little tiny closet ( and my mom wonders why I don't have any room!!!)
OK enough about me diid anyone else do something...
Ps. I didi bandaid ears .. they work pretty good ( this is an aswome site for info about costumes
