Sexy costume #2067

Halloween is coming and this is everyone's chance, who wants to dress up sexy!?!

Simplicity has been using artwork for some of the newer patterns instead of all photography recently, so I thought you might like to see my actual samples,  albeit badly displayed on my dress form at home.

These are the photographs I took for my own records.  Alas, before I started taking lots of photos for potential blogging.

I always try to find whatever accessories that will be needed to complete a costume for photography, but they found better wings for the red costume AND, I totally forgot, they eliminated one.  There used to be a Tinkerbelle type pixie.

Editing ... I mentioned this a few months ago when talking about a new pillow pattern that had just be published.  Patterns get edited, same as books. There might have been too many pattern pieces or too much instruction writing required, or they thought it looked fine with 4 views and 5 was just getting to be too many.  

I usually never know why.  Once it goes to New York, it's out of my hands.

the tinkerbelle is adorable! way cuter than the orange thing (um, no offense!), not sure why they chose which one to leave out.

Love the Black Swan costume. I would so love to wear that, but I'd look like a dork.

I agree with Sarah. The fairy is really, really cute. I love the wings you used with it, too. I think the stylist beat you out on the evil angel, though. The black fuzzy wings are good.

Hi, I really love your creations. I want to do the first one for a wonder women costume. I just want to know what sort of golden tape do you use on the corset? and what is the tissue of the shrug on the second cosutme (the black and shiny one). your tissu is wonderfull.
Great thanks.
Solene.

Hi Andrea, Just wondering is the boning meant to curl in the tutu? I have used this pattern for an order for a costume party tomorrow and the boning just doesn't seem to sit right. I have tried ironing it and it does look a little better. Would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
