Halloween Costume: The Rest of the Costume!

I finished my halloween costume in time for Saturday night's Howling Halloween Bash!

I decided to add a few layers to the mask, some jewels and a third eye. For you Game of Thrones fans, you know that young Bran Stark has a recurrent dream about a 3-eyed raven in the 2nd season. I finished it off by adding a hole-punch on each side of the mask to thread black ribbon through so that I can tie the mask around my head. The several-year old elastic that the mask originally came with has since lost its elasticity. Here it is!

Next I put together my top. I used an old black, long-sleeved tee I had and sewed a right angle triangle of black lace under each arm to give the look of wings.

Next, I attached about 6 inches of black ribbon at the end of each arm, at each shoulder seam, and at the middle of the neck so I could easily attach the feather boa. In the photo below you can see the ribbon at the neck and shoulders.

Add a plack skirt, these creepy fishnets, and a pair of black shoes and I'll be good to go! Ideally I'd wear a pair of pointy black heels but since I have to wear flats post-surgery, black ballet flats will have to do. I'll post a picture of me wearing the hole ensemble this weekend!
