My Impulsive Costume of the Day-Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast

Currently one of my biggest vice’s is thrift stores! Ironically as a child I didn’t want to be caught dead in one, due to a life altering episode of Who’s the Boss, (if you saw it, you would remember it). Now as a starving artist I thrive in those glorious piles of junk, those misplaced garments and those neglected heaps of trash. Every once in a while I stumble upon a real treasure.

I had no intention spending my day yesterday altering a dress to fit my version of Belle from Beauty and the Beast-but that is what I did. The dress was a prom reject from Macy’s still new with tags still attached, (worth about $400.00), I got it for $25.00. As I perused the rest of the store I found a matching scrap piece of yellow fabric that cost .99 cents for the sleeves. I rummaged in my costume closest at home and found a brown wig, a little sprits here and few boby pins there and wala ! Instant Belle Halloween costume. Sometimes I surprise even myself with my resourcefulness. Feel free to leave a comment if you like. I would love to hear your stories of thrifting.

Here is a little mask that I made inspired by the Venician Style of masks. Made with glue, flour, casting gauze, and wall putty. It has the old papery feel to it, yet is really strong, stronger even than sculpy. Maybe I’ll do a how to tutorial…
