I'M BACK!!!

So guys I know it has been a while since my last blog post but tbh Aprils challenge kind of wiped me out a bit!! Plus I’ve had a week’s holiday from work so I have been catching up with old friends and family over the odd glass of wine or two, or three, maybe four! I have also been busy making jewellery but more on this will come in the next few weeks!

So something that kept me busy whilst I have been away from the computer is a party I attended last week…it was my aunties 40^th birthday and she had a zombie themed party. It was awesome!! I decided I wanted to go as a zombie Rapunzel from Tangled.

I had a dress in my wardrobe from when I was a bridesmaid a few years ago and I couldn't get in it anymore, so I took to a pair of scissors and hacked away. I cut the front bodice open down the centre and shortened it to just below the knee. The material I had taken off the bottom I used some of to put behind the bust so my chest wasn't all out! I then created holes using a little zigzag stitch on my machine and threaded the ribbon through. I had a bag of lace netting lying around that my Nan had given me so I used this to trim the bottom hem and the bottom of the bodice. I used what I had left of the bottom trim offs to make wide strap sleeves which I then added the floaty sleeves too which I had also made from the lace trimmings.

Before at the wedding...

After I'd altered it and make-up...

So what do you guys think??

Don't think I did too bad for a couple of hours and a bit of DIY!

The wig is from eBay so if anyone’s looking to do a Rapunzel look it was a bargain at £11.49 , I then glitzed it up with some flower clips that I got from the local £1 shop!

My friend Lauriel did our makeup and we all loved it, absolutely amazing!! Find her on Instagram and get your Halloween bookings in early, as you can imagine from the makeup she will be in high demand!!

Here's a few more snaps from the party...

Hopeyou've not missed me too much guyss ;) 

Have a great weekend!! Time for a glass of wine for me and my bestie! Peace and Love xx
