For the top I bought a black sweetheart neckline corset. For the bottom I made a mermaid-style skirt (no pattern- just measured myself and then kept pinning until it fit) and around the flare of the skirt I attached foam tentacles that I spray painted black and purple. I purpled myself with decent quality costume makeup (not the crap you find at drugstores around Halloween). If there had been time I would have made a seashell necklace and figured out how to get a poof out of my super straight hair.Ericanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-21597394442200466192012-08-16T18:59:03.473-04:002012-08-16T18:59:03.473-04:00Very awesome!

Since we are on the subjest, I have the absolute delight of being a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding next year. And we all get to dress up as....<br />DISNEY VILLAINS! I am totally stoked. The only problem is, I'm dressing as Ursula from The Little Mermaid and can't find any non-sexy costumes. Anyone have any suggestions where to buy one or where to get a pattern?

(pictures have been emailed, as requested in yout post (c; ) She was devastated when she heard the judges say they had no idea who she was dressed as during several different costume contests that she entered in our area.<br />This year, she will be, in her words: "Zombie catwoman, you know, the one who stabbed her stuffed animals into the garbage disposal and painted her house black..." (hint*Michelle Pfiffer) while her little sister intends to be Batman...the one who fought with the zombie catwoman...they are already practicing their poses so that "people will TOTALLY know who they are this year!"<br />Thanks for being such an awesome resource for me and my geeklings...keep being awesome!Janinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243120888536024503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-34577900603331247162012-08-15T23:42:35.452-04:002012-08-15T23:42:35.452-04:00Hey Jen, I am sending you a link for an awesome g...Hey Jen, I am sending you a link for an awesome geeky video we watched being filmed last Sunday here in Seattle.

The Mary Poppins is the best homemade Disney outfit I've ever seen. <br />I'm working on losing a little around the middle so I can fit in my black pants again. New motivation: I can wear them as part of a DPR costume. Woo Hoo!
