I remember that costume, it was pretty fucking awesome.
This year I'm a hooded figure from Night Vale, it was easy (black hooded robe with dark, kinda creepy makeup, and my phone can play static) but I like it, and this year I needed something easy since A) the our Halloween party is around the same time as all of Jake's shit (prt, speaking test, party, listening test, writing test in that order, well maybe the listening and writing are switched, over the course of 11 days) so he is of no help and most of my friends are right there with him so really no help from them either. B) I was also responsible for helping with Mary's TOS Uhura costume since it was her first time sewing a costume, and by helping I mean I basically sewed 90% of it (but she did all of the cutting, pinning, and accessorizing so she did a lot of the work and if we had more time she would have done more of the sewing, I'm just much faster so I did the bulk of it). Lastly C) I don't have any dedicated space for crafts or much of any storage space so it had to be something I could either fold up or hang in the closet with normal clothing. Actually I find my hooded robe hanging up with my dresses pretty funny, I mean it had to go where it could hang so it had to go with them but I keep forgetting it is there so I'll go to pick out a dress and then oh hey it's my robe! Okay maybe it isn't that funny but it makes me happy.
Oh and I lucked out big time because there is a vintage/second hand shop here that gets stuff from one of the local theaters so I actually found my cloak there, it only needed a few alterations (the hood was pointed so I rounded that out and slightly changed the neckline) and was less than I would have paid for fabric to make my own.
