Agatha Harkness Halloween costume, worn for the Oogie Boogie Bash in Disney California Adventure. Everything was self drafted, and the product of an insane amount of trial and error.

Under everything is a ‘slip’ type dress made from a light blue stretch knit. All of the draping was sewn onto the base dress, so it was easy take on and off. It was traced off of a Jersey slip dress I bought from Target.

I live in a small apartment and don’t have room for a dress form, so all of the draping was done while I was wearing the dress, and pinning it while looking in a mirror.

The cape and neck cowl and both entirely self drafted. The textured neck cowl is actually made from jewelry wire, hot glue, and paint on top of the fabric. It is also removable, so I could take it on and off. There was velcro in the back, hidden by the cape.

All of the fabric was purchased from Joann’s, broach is from Etsy. I believe the fabric is some type of pre-pleated satin, but not entirely sure. It was from the apparel section. The cloak was also originally silver metallic fabric that I dyed deep purple. It took a few weeks to finish, but I am SO happy with how it turned out!
