I can't get over how beautiful the Yvaine dress turned out. Looks fun!

How do you manage to get so many costumes in your luggage? And wigs and hoopskirts (if needed)?

Thanks! It's really more the weight than anything else-- we only checked three bags total, but they were each between 48 and 50 lbs. Hoopskirts actually aren't that hard to pack, because they collapse down pretty flat (although I didn't bring any this year).

I think the Castle costumes are the awesomest costumes, I wish I'd thought of it! Easy to make, and no one else would of even thought of that as a costume...so it's one of a kind.

Aw, thanks! We were really excited every time we got recognized!

whoohoo! I was so excited when I thought of the Castle costumes, Caitlin thought I was having a seizure. SO much fun!

You are so freaking adorable. I wish we'd had more time to hang out!

I think my favorite picture has to be Maleficent stripping down. Awesome. :D

Aww thanks! I wish I'd been able to hang out with you more too! Next year!!!

I love your Maleficent - very nice texture on the black fabric :) And your Stardust dress was so beautiful :)
