Happy Halloween!
Sunday, October 31, 2010 at 11:45AM We spent yesterday coming up with adult costumes for our neighbor's party. Not the most original, but we had fun creating them: Gladiator and Greek Goddess.
Charlie fashioned his armor from a plastic trash can. He tied the pieces together with twine and painted everything matte black. I made him a simple tunic to wear beneath his armor.
My costume was a yard and a half of the cheapest white satin I could find, draped and tied at my waist with braided clothesline. There was very little sewing--just hemming the satin. I painted a ton of plastic leaves silver to add some details and used them to cover an old strapless bra (that I also spray painted silver).
The toga covered most of the bra so I still felt appropriately modest, but it gave the costume much-needed oomph. You can see it a little better in this shot, taken by our baby sitter as I was heading out the door.
The party was a lot of fun. Lots of Lady Gaga costumes, as you can imagine. There was also a Shamwow guy that was pretty funny. The boys are getting excited for tonight--I'll post pictures of their costumes soon.
Happy Halloween!

Wow! this toga costume is really awesome. I was looking for a toga costume that look decent. Thanks for completing my search.
