All dressed up and ready to head out. From left to right: Las Vegas Sea Monkey, Jacques himself, a furry squid, a feathery jellyfish, and yours truly. I made and/or assembled most of the costumes shown here, and on very short notice, I might add! *

The corset is a 19" C&S Constructions overbust in novelty print vinyl, worn here with about 1 1/2" of extra space to allow for drinking and dancing. Skirt, purse and shrug made by me. Shoes and wig embellished by me. Me embellished by cocktails. *

Unfortunately, I am not as skilled with matching patterns as C&S, so the skirt is a little off. But it fits like a glove! *

As you can see, the corset isn't quite as tight as it looks. Ingenious pattern matching! *

My hipspring, however, is pretty curvy no matter what I wear. *

Tuckered out! *
