Ms. Death

This is likely where it all began (at least, in my ADULT life). I think this was the first costume I made myself--even though it was actually put together by many store-bought items. I used the "Emperor" cloak my mom made back when I was a teen, some 'bone' pantyhose, bone gloves, and a plastic sickle from Wishing Well. The only things I did myself was make a hood from velvet (complete with skull beads for the ties) and of course the skeleton make-up, for which I simply followed some instructions (though I don't remember where I got them or where they are now! Eep!)

This "death" costume seemed to impress everyone at this Halloween party, so I also wore it to my job at Steve's Place Pizza on Halloween day, and also to all my piano student's homes that day as well! Was pretty fun to scare everyone, and hardly anyone recognized me!
