So the ball was ages ago, but I didn’t have a good photo of my whole costume until today. As it stands, you can’t see much detail in this, but I didn’t want to leave you hanging after posting my progress earlier this month.
Though the corset was no great feat of waist reduction, I finished it, wore it, and felt good in it, so I count that as a win. Many others seemed to like it, too, because I somehow won the ladies’ costume contest, a great honor!

Here’s another photo by Dana Lee Fruend:
There’s really not much to be said about it, but there ya go. 🙂

Thanks!

September 29, 2014 at 6:58 PMThank you! There were a lot of [much more] amazing costumes there – light-up bustles, crazy octopus corsets. I'm still amazed they chose me!
