Last year for Halloween, I was a witch and made myself a tutu for that.
It was so easy and has been so popular among readers that I have decided that this year, I will be a Peacock and upgrade my
witch tutu by adding more tulle in different colors.
I added 4 yrds of blue, 3 of green, and 2 of the plum. I chose these colors based off of a Peacock feather. I just went to the flower section of Joanns and held it up to the tulle colors.
They didnt have all the exact colors I wanted, but paired with the 4 yrds of black and 4yrds of purple that were already on the tutu I think it turned out great! Tulle is about $1.49/yd and you can buy all the supplies you need at Joanns, including the elastic for the waistband.
I made the back longer, trying to emulate a peacock tail. The blue is
the longest and green on top of that. The blue is about 27inches long
(54 inches, folded in half) and the green, a few inches shorter.
I will be adding a few feathers to the back and am wearing blue tights and a blue shirt with sparkly sequin shoulders. I am also adding my light brown leather flats that I got on sale from
Urban Outfitters, to give it a bird foot look. I am also going to be wearing my
lace mask I made. Im not quite sure how Im going to do my hair yet, but I think it will be up and I will probably make some fancy feather clip or something! I will keep you posted!
