I will.be taking a few weeks off. I have procrastinated long enough. I am in the process of creating a replica of Billie Burke's infamous costume as Gilnda the Good Witch for Halloween. I am currently putting together panniers to.hold out the skirt, which is flatter in front and fuller to.the sides and back-- panniers from.an Outlander gown will work,plus 40yards of pink bridal.tulle, gathered till my eyes cross Over that will.be the underdress of pink satin and the pale petal pi p l.p.nk organza overlay. The organza will.have a lot of 1-2 inch stars and a lot mote smaller ones, so they'll glitter under lights.
Why am I doing?
Well,last year we were running errands and got back too.late to change so I doled out candy in a sweater, over the kneeboots and leggings. I gueesI should have put on my pirate hat. The year before I had worn aSCA gown. People had brought cameras, and no fance dress. I.promised them this year wouldbe spectacular and I have wanted to do Glinda for 20years.
So wish me luck.
P.S. Mr. Witch will.be either the Cowardly Lion or the wizard depending on whether I have time.
