Most of my costume

[perpetual_motion]

I've been fighting a head cold/sinus thing all week, and while I made it to the Halloween party last night, I did not get any pics in full costume. I do have a shot from the day I finished the dress.





Those are my GL boots from my costume two years ago, and that's me about to kiss my ring. Add a pair of patterend black tights and dainty white gloves (found at a sex shop of all places), and you've got the full kit. The attempt to dye my hair red failed majorly. I've got some red bits in it, but my hair hasn't taken color the same since I bleached it, and I forgot to take that into account.

The party was fun. The costume was a big hit, especially as it meant I got to have this conversation a few times:

Other person: Green lantern!
Me: Yup.
OP: Like, one in particular or just a GL?
Me: I'm Gal Gardner.
OP: ...Was that like, one of Hal's girlfriends?
Me: [laughs hysterically] No. No, it was not.

And then a brief history of Guy and why he's a badass.

(Also, you can't see it, but the back of the dress is a bit wonky. The butt's weird, but I think I can turn it into a bustle-thingy if I want to fix it.)

Okay, back to homework and trying not to sneeze all over myself.

Eee! You're adorable!! (And that dress looks fabulous! How did you do the symbol, is it stitched in?)

It's stitched on with worsted weight yarn (the same yarn weight as the dress). I also tied it in pretty sloppily so I can just cut it off and have a cute green dress to wear whenever. Although, it's tempting to put some sort of abstract lantern symbol somewhere on the thing for good.
