This was the Monday before Halloween. Ben and I did a 'test run' of our costumes; Got all dressed up as vampires, went out to eat at Macaroni Grill (nice restaurant) and walked around town for a bit.
Don't like the makeup and hair I did that evening as much as on Halloween itself.. but the purpose of this pic is mostly just to show off my dress.
If I had the time or money, I'd have chosen better materials, but the very basic skirt and corset-style top began as a test for what I was hoping would be the base pattern to use for my wedding dress.
So I chose inexpensive material (in burgundy and black), and then later decided to add everything else to it to use as a Halloween costume.
The pattern was for the simple skirt and corset-style top.
All the drapies, the lace detail, edging, and biggo butt bow were added by yours truly.
(Btw, No, the eyes weren't edited. Those are contacts.)
I ended up with those contacts by accident, actually. Long story, but all in all, they're probably one of the neatest pairs I've ever owned! (aside from my white cat-eyes.. those I LOVE)
Thank you, btw!

If I say something that could be taken in more than one way, and one of those ways is offensive to you, I meant it the other way.

Well, WELL done! *_*

Even though I've said this before, I love your costume, it totally kicks my costume's ASS.
Even with those boots I wasted forty buckaroos on.
