I was invited to a fancy dress party where all the costumes had to start with the letter A and I decided to go as Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric is its common name).
I built the hat from scratch using a cardboard box, papier mache, texture paste, acrylic paint, and lace to look like the gills of the mushroom on the inside. Josh’s Mum made me a label that we hung off the hat with the species name on it, so that it looked like I'd been labelled by a botanist.
I made the little waistcoat using some lace ribbon and a lace top I bought for £1 in the local charity shop - the sleeves and bottom of the top were used in the hat as gills.
The tights are Snag, the bloomers I had to buy new sadly, the shoes were from depop and I already had the puff sleeve top.
Have a lovely day everyone!
