Like most gals I know - I love Kate Middleton's style and enjoyed every minute of the Royal Wedding earlier this year (as noted
here). So naturally, the Duchess of Cambridge is my choice for a chic Halloween Costume. I'm utilizing two of her key looks for my inspiration...

I have the blue wrap dress, long brown lose curled wig, black classic heels, nude stockings, and to die for Sapphire ring (a faux copy....but a girl can dream) - the only thing missing is the quintessentially British fascinator cap to complete my ensemble. I found
this cute tutorial on Simple Simon and Company for a DIY Birdcage tutorial - check out my creation below...

| Materials - hair clip, cardboard, batting, scissors, tulle, glue gun, grey felt, and feathers |

| My work area with trusty assistant George looking in! |

| Cardboard, Batting, and Felt |
 |
| All wrapped up and hot glued together |
 |
| Tulle and feathers added - voila! |
Stay tuned for pictures next week of the final costume - we are going to Ginny's 30th Birthday/Halloween Party Saturday night - this fascinator will be in full effect! Now if I could only get Brian to dress as Prince William....
I LOVE your fascinator! You did such a good job! I'm staying tuned for the final pictures :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne! It was a fun/super quick project! Wish these would come into Fashion in the US - perhaps I'll start the trend! =)
