The nightclub sets the stage they come in pairs she said

Ongoing wittering about Vampire Ball! I have decided the beaded blood spatter outfit is the one that will make me the happiest, so there is lots of hand sewing in my future. I'm about a third of the way done with the jacket, and I ordered a few ivory lace and/or tulle blouses from AliExpress; once I see which fits the best, I'll get to beading the blood down the front and on the cuffs. The only thing that I'll need the Madwoman in the Attic to make is a big ivory ruffled skirt*, and then I'll add droplets of blood down it.

The only thing I'm still dithering on is the decor for the ivory-with-black-crown wide brimmed hat: ivory, black, or red clouds of tulle veiling? 






*In the Before Times, I'd hit a bunch of thrift stores and find an elaborate wedding dress to chop up, but those are getting more and more difficult to find.
