Oz The Great and Powerful

Anyone else watch Oz the Great and Powerful and LOVE the costumes! I know I did! Anyway, today I'm just posting some pictures for your oogling pleasure ;) Enjoy!

My favorite dress is easily Evanora's..

Glenda's was cute, but a bit too poofy for me...

I preferred her longer one...

Theodora's dress was also cool...

But of course her wicked witch costume was the most fun! lol

Cheers!

Faeriesque

Just a short post today, Found these AMAZING vests over at http://www.leafycreations.com/ and just thought I'd share! Enjoy!


These vests just inspire me to dress up like a woodland faerie!

Cheers!

Continuing on our last post...

Busy weekend! sorry I was away for so long (again!) 

Anyhoo, I am still hung up on Jojn William Waterhouse, and have been comparing actual costumes to some of the paintings so I thought I'd share...enjoy! 

To start, lets go with my favorite......

And what i thought looked similar....

Would just need a belt and pouch to complete the look!

Next painting...

Ok so I am comparing the green dress here..

Armstreet actually has a very similar dress and you can choose from a myriad of colors...

So it's on to the next one...

Wrong color, same dress...

Well that's all for today, Cheers!

John William Waterhouse...

Been doing a little research on 'PreRaphaelite' style clothing, which lead to the art which lead to the artwork of John Waterhouse. So many of his pieces are breathtaking, and I am now determined to re create at least one dress from a painting of his. Anyway here are some of my favorites...enjoy!

Bustles!

Hands down my favorite type of clothing from the Victorian period is the bustle. So today we have some bustle loveliness courtesy of the Metropolitan Museum of Art ...enjoy!

And finally....my own humble bustle. Hubby and I had a last minute costume party to attend so I made this really quick using a combo of tutorials found HERE and HERE.

Cheers!
