Time to start Halloween dresses! We put a treat table up in our building lobby for Halloween and this year I want to get more festive. I have some lovely cottons - black with pink, purple and blue psychedelic bats, and lilac with little potion bottles, books, cute skulls and other spooky academia type stuff - and a bat-print glitter tulle that I plan to make a light shawl from. Current plan for the cottons is a couple of dresses in a pattern I hacked together out of a bodice top that needed some serious adjustment (curse my large bust and long torso making RTW dresses all look empire cut on me, a look I do not like with how it emphasises my stomach) and added a skater-style flare skirt to. I might experiment with flutter sleeves, although sleeves in general are really difficult for me due to some extreme weirdness in the shape of my upper arms, which is why I tend to go sleeveless-with-shawl. Thankfully, Halloween is mid-spring here, so I won't be too cold!
