Halloween

Halloween costume

Further proof that phone snaps are not very good quality & that, no matter what I do to it, my hair will not keep a curl. Am trying hard to edit the original photo with my limited (free) software. As it was a poor image to start with this is about the best I could manage.

People had made such effort with costumes for Count Dracula & His Bride-to-Be Amy that it was hard to tell who was who and which people I already knew. Such was the amount of fake blood swilling round the party someone really could have bled to death without anyone realising. Witches, vampires, pirates, cats, masked men, a pair of bacon & eggs and 'Derren Brown' all vied for space in a spider filled back garden & the devil and a dictator were found talking and smoking outside the front door -with the party was still in full swing - when Husband walked me home at 2.30am (I was 'working' in the shop in the morning).

Dress: Vintage 1980s velvet & DeVore ruffled prom dress from Shikasuki
Look: Inspired by Heathers
Image: Taken by Husband

your costume is rocktastic and you looked smoking! what an amazing excuse to wear a kicking 80's number.

my hair will never hold a curl either! it's looks like a very glamorous halloween costume! loving the belt - and the bunting in the background!

Thanks!

The belt & dress are both from the vintage shop where I work. Though the belt was a serious purchase...

And the bunting is our wedding bunting which I put up in the sitting room for a party but loved so much we haven't taken it down.
