I’m still recovering from Mardi Gras 2008, and am currently in the process of trying to catch up on emails, etc., that have gone unattended during the last week or so of festivities. But I know I promised a picture of my cassowary costume, so here it is:
I took a couple of pictures of the full costume before we left the house on Mardi Gras day.
hat – BoringSidney.etsy.com
neckwarmer – made by me
corset – Isabella Costumiere
ruffle pettipants
skirt – made by me
boots – Fluevog

Nice work! You’ll have to fill us in on more details on New Orleans. See any outrageous outfits?
Happy Chinese New Year! It’s the year of the rat, so when you have time, come check out the Retail Design Diva blog – today’s post fills us in on what’s to come for the year.
Cheers,

oh my gosh… that corset is amazing! you look like an indie superhero!
(i’m so envious…)
Heather… I saw plenty of great outfits, but didn’t get nearly as many pictures as I would have liked. And I ended up dropping and breaking my camera by the end of the night! All of the pictures I got from the day are here though:

Jennine, thank you! I’m very happy with how my corset turned out… I bought the fabric and had it special made for me… I love the way it turned out; it was super comfortable too!
