Costume Details

This costume was super easy/cheap to make. I got an underbust corset ($10) and a bunch of sequin trim ($2) and sewed it along the boning channels (you can only see two lines of sequins in the picture, but there are more on the sides). For the tutu/bustle I gathered two metres of tulle ($4) and sewed it onto a sequin/elastic bit of trim the size of my waist. I tried to shape the tulle into two parts to keep the fullness mostly at the back and sides.

Finishing touches: heels, fishnets, frilly garter (made out of the same trim as the bustle, can't see it in the picture), black sparkly bow tie, sequin bra, and elbow length gloves (pictures/tutorial to follow)
