Prom dresses

A PTA lady from Bruce's school donated three old prom dresses to the costumes shop. The dresses are a pink polka-dot with big puffy sleeves, a pink and white lacy, big sleeve southern dress and a bright red with gorgeous white lace, saloon type dress.
I will start advertising to rent retro, recycled, green , vintage Prom dresses. I have about 30. Some are polyester ball gowns. I wore a green 1970 polyester Medallion dress to the Gold and Green ball. I got more comments on my 'stripper' shoes than I did on the dress. hmm
Look up Medallion dress on the internet, it has a shiny, sequin medallion at the waist line. It was a fun style.

Greenwood school/IC music

Carla Varland came by yesterday and got a couple things for the March musicals. They are doing a rock music theme.
The best item she got was a white tux and afro wig for Little Richie. (we used the tux in Honk for the Swan prince) Some round tinted glasses for the Beatles, and a pair of Elvis sunglasses with sideburns were the other items. I have a black vest and cape with small mirrors on it. I will hot glue sequins and they will use that with black pants for Elvis.
She said she was going to order Beatle wigs, those things are expensive.

Raggedy Anne

I rented a Raggedy Ann costume so a girl from La Grande could be in the winter program at Imbler. hmmm
I made a quick blue short sleeve dress. I had the bloomers. I added white ribbon ties and red rickrack to an apron I already had partially made up. Carma gave me her mop wig dyed red a while back. I also had red/White striped leggings that will do.
They really liked it and she gave me a $5.00 tip! They said they would tell their friends and they want to come here next Halloween.

Mrs. Santa

I have a lady coming to rent a Mrs. Santa outfit for a bazaar they are doing at the 4-H building at the fair grounds. I have several red skirts to choose from. She said she wanted a red/ white striped skirt. I have several tops, from Victorian high neck to a peasant look. She said she wanted a white wig, I have three. I also have several aprons and mop caps to complete the ensemble.

Halloween 2009

I rented 31 costume items, not all complete outfits. I hope I get them all back today or tomorrow.
I traded for some other costumes and a massage, can't wait to get that.
Andrew went as a "Rock Star" he wore sunglasses.
I went a black/white get up with a jester's hat.
Vampires and witches are the most popular for women.
Some people like what I had and others turned their noses up.
It is fun the hard work will be washing them and putting them back.
On to Dolly..

platform shoes

Lindsy tried on my newest addition to the shop. She is now taller than her mom!

Audrey 11

We have inherited Audrye 11 from "Little Shop of Horrors' from LHS. They don't want it anymore and were going to throw it away. Jeri Mackley might want it for the hunted house in Union. We shall see. It sure gets a lot of looks from the neighbors.
