Golden Outfits

I have had a request for gold outfits to match a gold mask so here is my collection. The gold dancer is a peasant top with skirt with elastic waist and black coin vest.

This is a gold Egyptian dress, sz XL.

The golden pantsuit is very nice with black sequins down one side, padded shoulders and black pants.

The golden robe could be for a King or queen. We used it in Aladdin for the King, sz med, it looks like a design from India, it has side slits.

Please click on the photos for details.

White Knight

I finished the white Knight! ta da

It goes with the black knight,

(see costume collage photos above)

both are sz L/XL.

Look out Monty Python!

John Wayne shirts- red sz 15 1/2, black, and black with pin

strips (my favorite)

White LOTR (Lord of the Rings) dress (onsie) or it could be used for the white queen in the new Alice in Wonderland movie

A couple of white dresses for witches or vampires and

a very nice purple dress from EOU for vampire or vamp...

Jailbird Orange

This is the Jailbird costume, a jumpsuit, a onesie (one size fits all) zipper is in front. It is sleeveless and I added an orange Beaver tee shirt under it, if you want that option. Your choice of handcuffs.

Fairies, Tutus and slips (oh my)

Fairies
Blue leotard – sz XL
Purple leotard – sz. 14
Olive green – (prom dress I tried dying for a Tinker Belle, so now it is a Gothic fairy…sigh) sz 11

Full slips (tutu look) - the slips with no size have elastic waists so they adjust to about any size
2 black
1 blue
1 pale blue – sz med (would make a good Alice costume)
1 purple – torn, so it looks gothic…
2 white

I have some wings.

I suggest going to the Faerie Beads store on 1102 Adams, (by Domino Pizza) they have fingerless gloves in different colors, Faerie crowns, pointed ears & Faerie wands. 541-786-1322
