As y'all know, I
have something of a spending problem when it comes to period costumes.
HOWEVER, this
year, four of the giant dresses will be getting a night out on Halloween, as
myself, 2 friends, and Lil Bro#2* have decided to wear them to Big Sis#2's
house to give candy to the millions** of trick-or-treaters she gets.
I really enjoyed
dressing up as Elsa a couple years ago, so this year I decided to mix it
up and dress up as Baroque Elsa, hence justifying*** my purchasing a new giant
dress.
The new dress
arrived last week, and I raced home after work to try it on.
This is the
first one-piece period costume I have ever purchased. You'd think that would
make it easier to put on. Think again, my friends.
I ran into serious
trouble when I finally managed to get both arms into the sleeves.
At which point I
realized I was stuck.
Why was I stuck,
you may ask? Wellllllllll it's because of a problem I frequently have with
clothing.
BUT I DID NOT
GIVE UP
The dress is
bigger than my apartment, so it's impossible to get a decent photo of it. This
is the best I could get:
In other
news....
I've been doing
some decorating and now I'm going to show off.
I think I'm most
proud of the mini curio cabinet.
That's on the
wall right outside the bedroom.
And in that
photo you can see my fantastic new table.
My owl
collection has some new additions.
I've decorated
the windows for autumn.
And here's a
picture of my fridge just because.
*yes, really
**this may be an
exaggeration
***not at all
****it was
taking way too long to draw that
