The Wiggle Dress begins!

So last night my friend Carli, who is in the fashion program at Iowa State, helped me out with creating my second Halloween costume! I'm creating a 1940's-WW2esque wiggle dress! I found a thing on how to turn a sweatshirt into a pencil skirt and since Orpheus Descending was set in the 40's a lot of the skirts for the costumes were super-high waisted and I fell in love with the look, so instead of a pencil skirt on my hips I move it up several inches. My inspiration:

We work for several hours and we got quite a bit done! I owe her sooooooo much!!! I don't have pictures of the process because we were working constantly but I promise I will get some when I work on it again! I can't wait to see how it turns out!


Until next time, happy stitching!!!
