I wore the same costume all 4 years in college. It was a dress and coat set that I bought at a charity clothes sale. They were gorgeous--obviously super high-quality stuff--but from the 60's so a little peculiar in color. There was a sleeveless A-line dress in rainbow striped silk shantung, fully lined so it was very comfy. The coat was the same cut and fabric but with the addition of enormous rhinestone buttons.

I wore my dress and coat combo with big sunglasses and called myself Jackie O. Most comfortable costume ever!

When I was in college, I visited this amazing vintage clothing shop and found a flapper dress that I fell in love with...layer upon layer of flirty, swingy fringe, paired with a feathered headband and a very cool pair of 20's-style pumps. I kept that outfit for years, until I finally handed it down to a favorite niece for her to wear to a costume party.

I'm not much for costumes, but I do remember spending a ton of time making one when I was in fifth or sixth grade. I added ruffles to an umbrella to make it parasol-like and did a sort of "Gibson girl" thing that year. As I recall, it was a TON of work! ;p Congrats on Feels Like the First Time, Tawny!! Can't wait to read all four stories!

I was very much a tomboy when I was a child and the one thing I really, really, really wanted to do was play little league baseball (something girls couldn't do back then) so one Halloween I decided to be dress up as a baseball player (no girly stuff for me!). I have to consider that as my favorite costume ever.

I just want to add that Tawny's book is FABULOUS! You are in for a real treat, and as she said, if you read all four books in the mini-series, you get the added romance of the costume shop clerk.

Tawny, you rock!!!! And can anyone else see the physical resemblance between the heroine on her cover and Tawny?? She rocks, AND she's hot!

When I was a lot younger I dressed up as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Back then I had the cleveage for it. I wore a long black wig too.

Well i have two, one was the year my sister an i both dressed as she-devils. hers was blood red with a black stad up cape around her neck, mine was solid black, long tight and had a silver bat girl lookin belt. With heels, serious poofed hair and a ton of makeup done by yours truly we both had a ball playing the wicked sisters! lol

a couple years latger i wanted to do something totally different. So i found an heavy thermal nightgown that looked like a little girls, with a pouch in the front and doggies on the front. I wore shorts underneath it, and large fuzzy bear slippers. I also had a very large black bow in my blonde hair. It was the most comfy costume ever. no hose, and slippers. you cant go wrong there, unless whoever you danc with keeps stepping on the bears that growled when touched. lol
fun post.
can't wait to read your book Tawny.
