Fairy Fest Preview #3

We’re going to the FaerieWorlds Festival tomorrow, and I finally finished our costumes.

I made a new set of wings for myself, cream with bits of lace and ribbon all over them.  I’m much happier with this pair than with the last ones.

My Mom has purple sparkly wings with a sunflower and ribbons.

My sister has black point d’esprit ones with a crimson rose…

… to match her rose and raven fascinator.

I made a dragonfly-like cumberbund with tails for my Mom.

And my brother-in-law gets a deluxe pirate hat.

We’re going to have a blast tomorrow!



Fairy Fest Preview Part 2

I'm still working on costume pieces for the FaerieWorlds Festival this weekend.  Here are some of my new creations.

I’m not crazy about the way they turned out.  I might do something different.

I made these flowered bloomers for my Mom.

 

Here’s the tulle overskirt she’s going to wear with them.

I love the top hat we decorated for her. 

Plaid silk, lace, velvet ribbon, eyelet, pleats, it’s got a little of everything.

And here is my Dad’s derby hat, complete with horns.

More updates soon!
