Rose - the dress is gorgeous - of course we will expect photos of you (or Dh) actually in it  <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/thumbup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbup:' /> <br />

DH is pulling a couple of extra shifts this weeks so I was a bit at odds with all that apsare time - so I decided to start on my Hallowe&#39;en costume for our Red Hats.  Anything goes as long as it&#39;s putple and red and hatted&#33;&#33;&#33;<br />
<br />
So I got some mauve fabric at Wal Mart fo &#036;1.00 a yard - easy sew polyester.  I am making a tunic with really long sleeves and a droopy hood - sort of a grim reaper without the &quot;grim&quot; or the &quot;reap&quot; lol.  I dug up the alien masks from last year and painted one dark purple.  And the little alien baby has turned green - with a little paint help lol.  I have a little red straw hat to perch on the purple mask - which I will be wearing on my head.  The little green guy will be strapped to my body with it&#39;s head sticking out throught a seam in the tunic, about chest height - bra on otherwise it would be much lower tee-hee.   It will also be red hatted and bejeweled. Sort of a one body - two heads thing.  I am having so much fun with this.  I love hallowe&#39;en&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br />
