crafty shtuff: becoming Effie...

  Roche Harbor Resort employee appreciation party's are epic!  There is always a theme to dress up to.  We have a live band, photo booths, food, and alcohol.  Last year was an 80's theme where the spa girls dressed up as Robert Palmer's vixens. 
Party 2011

This year was sci-fi/fantasy which made for an absolutely hysterical night of fun!  We all went full force into our costumes, some bought & some made.  Mine was mostly made.  I was Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games.  
The lovely Effie Trinket.

I found a hideous dress in the right color to transform into Effie's famous purple outfit.  It was kismet... I still can't believe I found this dress on our little island. As you can see this dress needed to die anyways, there was no guilt as I chopped it up!





Sorry dress.... time to cut you up! 
Doris is supervising my construction. 
I bought 2 wigs since the Amazon.com reviews said it was thin in the back.
So, I cut one wig up and sewed in some extra volume!
Had to do fabulous eyelashes!! Bundle Monster had 6 for the price of one!
Edwina Scissorhands & Effie T pre-eyelashes. 
I had a blast making the fascinator for my costume.  I bought a roll of felt from Etsy seller Crafty Wool Felt


Final results are in, not too shabby eh?! 
Effie in name drawing action!!  
Photo Booth fun. Vampires, Effie, Trekkie, Starry Goddess & a Unicorn!!! -OH MY!

I can hardly wait till the next soiree!!
