I have to thank my mom for helping me finish it- otherwise I wouldn't have any costume for Halloween! I cut out and sewed the skirt, disassembled the inner red shirt, the cuffs, and blazer thing together. My mom hand sewed the collar to the blazer, fitted the inner red shirt, hemmed the skirt, and made the belt. She also mentored me through the entire process so that I didn't waste any time (because she's a pro at sewing). I bought the black long sleeved shirt and inner red shirt from goodwill :D. The wig was so cheap! only $13 from amazon! Although it's not really high quality, it still looks pretty natural from the photos. Leggings are from target- $12 (a little pricey but the color is a bit difficult to find). The boots are just something I got from Italy when I was 14.
one thing I would definitely do next time is to wear a slip or put some kind of lining on the skirt. It kept getting caught between my legs so I had to keep holding it down.
on another note, I finally got my business cards! :D
I used this great little place called lecards.com - I ordered it on saturday, got a proof the same day and received it this thursday! :3 I live close to el monte so the wait time might be different for other people but I'm really impressed :)
