Commentary:
I've wanted to do this costume since last Halloween, but I really didn't have any time at all. My friend at NAU, Randy, was going to be my wolf, but it didn't fall through. :( This year, I made time.... mwahahahahaa. Since I was in the middle of making guard uniforms and low on cash, and I _intentionally_ made this to look like a costume, I used some cheap satin. :P

Costume Info:
I pretty much just followed the pattern, but there was a quite a bit of altering since I can never fit into industry standard sized patterns. o.O;;; This pattern was actually one my mom used a long time ago to make me a French maid costume (which I can't fit into anymore... of course it WAS in 8th grade o.O) and so some of the adjustments had to be... adjusted. I was runing out of time, so my mom was nice enough to make the whole bustier for me.. I just put in the grommits and white ribbon. My petticoat was from my maid costume, bought the stockings at a Halloween store, and my red shoes were from my Honey costume. I didn't carry an actual basket though, those were just for pics. @.@ I finished off the look with a ribbon atop my head and around my neck.
