I'm done. Still not too sure about the length, but according to the chart which
@Diane attached, 86cms should be OK. If it needs altering, I'll whip round it quickly with the O/Locker.
I decided to make it in two parts this time, and it was a bit easier to work with, with such a lot of fabric, especially as the bodice top is just made from bits of remnants.
The bodice top is some stretchy sparkly stuff, and the sleeves done in two parts to make the most of the bits of fabric. The skirt was one of those lucky fabric moments. I was in the fabric shop and saw this lovely fabric, perfect for the skirt, and I got twice as much as I needed for free, as there were a lot of flaws in it. I think I paid just £4 for it.
I couldn't find much Hallowe'en bling, so I bought a pack of small wooden decorations from the Works, and painted them with Sharpies and old nail varnish - the SR smelt toxic! I also bought a nice gold mini wand and hung it on a gold trim, to make the bodice look less plain. I also stuck some of the motifs over the snaps on the bodice back.
I used my new snap press too, a bit of a learning curve, but it saved my wrists and worked a treat.
