I suppose I may now go into detail. This year my boyfriend and I decided to go as Jack and Sally from Tim Burton's the Nightmare Before Christmas. yes I know original (not!) It was quite fun to hear people say "OMG is Jack and Sally and Zero! Those are awesome costumes!!" But me being so picky didn't think mine was so great.

Anyways I started too late and as such I had to instead of making my own costume buy one all ready made and edit it. I cut the seams, added the stitching, painted and edited the wig to make it look better. After much searching for stockings I just decided to paint all of my body blue and add the stitching with an eyeliner. The pictures darken the blue when in reality is really just a very paleish bluish but it worked for the day, and of course I made my eyelashes look larger and added purple eyeshadow. My lips and nails are painted red and you can't see it here but I used dancing slippers and black and white striped socks for my feet. This made my feet look tiny and more Sally like. Mind you I plan to do this costume again when I can actually make the dress from scratch.

Onto jack.

Jack...my boyfriend has the luck to have a mom that can sew and truth to be told the most difficult part of jack's costume was drawing in the lines. Unlike Sally his costume when made from scratch isn't at all difficult. Basicly we just used a coat with tails and his mom was kind enough to make the tails look like Jack's. His bow tie consited of a frame of wires and then all of the lines we did by hand. Needless to say by the next day I wanted to know nothing of making lines. His mask was bought and his gloves were simply skeleton gloves that he found and I painted to make them look like Jack's (black joints and all of that).

Then of course there is Zero who got most of the attention. His dad is a genious who pretty much did his nose so it would light up. we used parts of a dog costume and just worked from there. My boyfriend's parents are marvelous at craftsmaking and helped us inmensily in this project Zero being the most important part they helped us with.

So that sums it up. Hope you guys like it.
