Hallowe'en Social

I managed to finish everything today. Well... almost. I just need to put ten buttons on the coat on the cuffs and pocket flaps. Other than that, everything was done. My shirt needs to be repaired though, as there is a slight hole where the collar meets the back. This is just due to not catching enough of the back into the collar, so it should be easily fixable. You know what isn't fun? Pinning like fifty billion little pleats to make box-pleated cuffs. Why is it that sewing always involves sewing the same seam about 4 times? The ties I made for my shirt are also too wide. :P But it all looked decent, even though I knew there were things wrong with it. I got many compliments, which was really nice. I still think the sleeves are a little short, but it's not too bad. So, to go to this Hallowe'en social tonight, here is what I wore, from the bottom up:
1. Black Mary Janes with a double strap and a small heel
2. White knee highs (Tomorrow, for a Hallowe'en wedding social, I will wear my black and red striped knee highs.)
3. Black pants that I basted up so that there were cuffs a little below my knees
4. $2 sword on belt that was too big so it hung on my hips (The sword kept getting in the way and hitting people, so eventually I took it off.)
5. White shirt with frilly cuffs
6. Black and red Elizabethan style stays
7. Red velveteen coat with gold trim and half of the buttons
Off to bed now.
