Bonfire of the ickys!

*lays wood in the pit for a glitterdot, ill-fitting harem pants, icky fabric bonfire*


On the harem pants, I have a pattern for a pair that puts a yoke on them, makes them a bit more tolerable to wear but being a plus sized lady, they still make my hiney look like a double wide.


Glitterdot -- Hate is too weak a word for how I feel about that nasty stuff. My first costume was a Ghawzee coat made from it...in red...in the video it did look like we were wearing liquid satin, which was kinda cool but I'm still, 10 years later!, finding the little dots here and there. Of course, last year, I chopped that butt ugly sucker up to make a costume for my daughter for a Latin ballroom dance we did, then I believe she chopped THAT up to make clothes for her Bratz dolls.

My big big big costumeing hate has to be yarn tassels made out of cheap polyester yarn like my mom crocheted with in the 70's. Nasty nasty nasty stuff.
