The costumes

Not the greatest pics, but it's hard to do this right when you live alone. It's not like my cats can take the pics, lol.



The woman who was going as fire had to cancel. I was less than pleased with the way one of my costumes was going and here were perfectly good black wings (see previous post) going to waste. :) I found some thin black fabric for a shirt and harem pants and some red for a bodice and voila, fire fairy.



This is the earth fairy and it's brighter in real life. That green is like a line green and it's trimmed with purple. The shirt and pants are a dark colored but lightweight jungle type print. I'm an earth fairy on acid. :)




A good view of the wings. I took a normal bodice pattern and simply made it longer and put bias tape around the edges for a bit of punch. Because of the way the shirts lay - exposing my upper chest and shoulders - sunscreen is going to be a must.



And my friend's toga, made without a pattern. I found a picture and just made it up as I went along and I'm very pleased with the end result.



The wings look really good with the toga, probably the best looking of the bunch.
