I didn’t know them very well since we didn’t see them very often so have never personally seen any of her stuff. I do remember her talking about them taking forever and a lot of work to make. All those sequins, etc. were hand sewn back in the day.
I can only imagine. Way beyond anything I would attempt to do. Most complicated thing I ever did was a "Sexy Pirate" dress. Lots of lacy stuff and other material that was difficult to work with.
Turned out well though. I used pictures of a commercially available costume as my guide, and I think mine turned out better.
That year I did also "Captain Jack Sparrow" costume, a Gandolf costume, a Hermione Granger costume, and a Harry Potter costume. We had loads of fun with them.
