I just came home from Ross (a discount dept store). For less than $12. I got enough to make four costumes for Faerieworlds. Check out the table runners. Most have beaded edges or fringe or tassels. Cut in half crosswize ithe runner becomes a pair of wings with a little shoulder shaping. A large tablecloth is a sarong, a shawl, a wrap skirt, etc. In the one of a kind curtains dept. I found sheers, velvets, brocades, silk-like panels. The panels with valances attached can be elegant capes. Just run a curtain tieback thru the rod pocket and tie around your shoulders. A topper swag ($1.99) is nine feet long! Think sari, veils, belly dance costumes. I found a beaded valance that is going to be my headress for Green Woman outfit.Just slip a headband into the rod pocket....See you at Ross?

Re: Source of fabric you may not have thought of
Wed, June 10, 2009 - 10:28 PMThis is a good idea but I have to tell you about a silly experience that comes to mind. The first, last year I found these wonderful lace curtains with intricate edging. I thought they'd make an awesome faery skirt. So I gathered them up with a ribbon, tied them around my waist, looked in the mirror, and busted up laughing. Because it didn't look like a faery skirt. It looked like a pile of curtains tied around my waist. Oops, can't always work the way we imagine. And of course I can't get that old Carol Burnett Gone With the Wind skit out of my mind. I just rewatched it and it made me laugh just as much as the first time I saw it (when it was on television - because I'm really that old!) www.youtube.com/watch -
