Let me see your peacock......

Kristen decided she wanted to be a peacock this year for Halloween so I got on the internet and researched peacock costumes. This is the tulle I'm using, 3 of them have sparkles in them the other 2 do not.




I cut 6" strips and put them on an elastic band just like you'd do for a child's tulle tutu alternating the sequined and colored strips. I had to figure out how to attach the peacock feathers to the band.


I made a satiny type tube dress that Kristen wants hemmed slut-tastically short and she'll wear the peacock tutu over the dress. We are covering the front of the elastic with some stretchy sequined elastic. Here is a preview of the first fitting. The sad part is both my sewing machines are on the blink after this so I'll have to hand finish the costume. Will try to post more pictures when we get it finished.
