These are beautiful costumes!

My favorite outfit was one my mom made me in high school. My friend and I went as Raggedy Ann & Andy. I wish I could still fit in it!

ooh! i bet it was so sweet, josie!

one of my faves was a fun garbage bag transformed into a christmas tree-dress! just add tinsel and felt ornaments!


(and a star on my head, :)

Beautiful! I was active in drama in HS and i loved being able to wear costumes and playing the role of someone else.

Wow that looks like fun! I don't remember any favorite costumes...i didn't really ever dress up for anything. I think I had a Wonder Woman costume at one point though.

I came across a street parade while on holiday in London. It was a grey day and the colours were an assault on my eyes (in a good way)
My favorite costume was a pantomime Prince Charming for my 30th birthday party.
