I forgot to reply in this group, I got the costume, I think the pattern still looks off and is obviously smugdy looking in places, but we're going to a gathering tomorrow at someone's house for costume fixes/prop making so I'm hoping maybe I can make some adjustments. I was mostly concerned with having to do tailoring so paint doesn't concern me nearly as much. We forgot to zip the costume and I forgot to put on my boots in these pics so I think that's why the shoulders look funny and you can't see the slit revealing the under dress, not sure about the sleeves...I haven't contacted her yet, been a bit busy with life. The sash has like a clasp thing that keeps it together as well as stitching. The gloves are REALLY tight on my arms so not sure if they are a one size fits all kind of thing or what but might get another pair from spirit of Halloween or another costume shop, although my boyfriend said he thinks we can rip the seams and add either a stretchy material to let them expand or something (he's more confident in that department than I am). She asked for pretty detailed measurements but not of my arms. Maybe I'll contact her and ask about the gloves at the very least. From a tailoring standpoint I'm glad I found someone to help me with the overall costume/seams. I sent some pics and a for review at the urging of my boyfriend (I know there are rather obvious flaws and wanted to fix them BEFORE submitting but he was insistent so here we are). I'm going to use black paint and see if I can redo the pinwheels with the pattern in this thread (thank you Heavy 1973) she said the pattern was much better than the one she had but then she didn't go back and redo it.
