I Am The Clown With A Tear Away Face

This years costume is a clown :)! The inspiration piece for the entire costume was the wig.

I loosely followed a costume pattern. I made the base dress in white with red ruffles and waist ties, then hand stitched polka dots in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. I chose to handstitch because I love how it looks. It took forever, but I think its a great detail. I made the wig using a red pigtail wig as the base, then I took a rainbow afro wig, cut it in half, glued it onto two styrofoam balls and pinned it into the wig using bobby pins. I absolutely love it. :)! The wig didn't really fit me (I have a big head -_-!) So, I made a bandana type headband thing to cover up in the back, and put a bow on the front to make it cute :)! I went to a halloween party on Saturday, the last picture is me and my friend (as Alice) all made up. :3! (No white face, because my cheapo makeup wouldn't cooperate.)
