| The first thing I got for this costume was the wig. It's absolutely gorgeous! Very accurate & I'm tempted to just wear it out for a normal day. I brought some plain white Converse style canvas shoes and I have dyed these lilac using Dylon washing machine dye. I'm so pleased with how they came out! The rubber soles & edging were painted black and require a few coats as chips off easy. I used black elastic for the laces to help keep them up what with the interesting way she ties them. The tongues had to be folded over and stitched as were too long and covering up the first cross-over of lace on bare leg. The sides of the shoe were also stitched very slightly to the tongues at the bottom to stop the shoe from gaping. I have a simple, figure hugging, short pink dress that I will make alterations to. However for the moment I'm scared to touch it in case I mess it up ^^; Brought a black sleeveless top with a hood which I literally intend to cut up just for the hood. A black shoulder pouch bag I found in a local charity shop which I ripped off the brand name/logo off the front (not easy as was some metal badge thing). I glued on a lilac ribbon in it's place. I won't use the bags original strap as need to add thicker straps to attach it to a belt with lobster clasps.
