Happy Halloween!
I've got my costume and I'm all ready to attend the lovely Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun party.
Courtesy of the Victoria and Albert Museum I present to you this fabulous ensemble.
The essential little black dress.
And just what is this costume you may ask? Why, the 50s modern mama of fluffy creatures of course!
No Tricks, Just Treats
There are no tricks to be found here at Fluffy Flowers, only treats. The first of these is a free couture dress pattern available from the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Next, one lucky commenter is going to receive this lovely prize pack:
Finally, another commenter will win this Fluffy Flowers Vampire Rabbit:
I hope everyone enjoyed my fun month of orangey October goodness. And I hope whatever your costume, whether real or imaginary, frees you to have the best of times. Have a fun and safe Halloween!
Oh my! Both those dresses are unbelievable! I like this idea of creating a virtual Halloween costume! So much less limitations then with the "real thing". But of course nothing beats the fun of dressing up and "be freed to have fun", a you said! Have a great Halloween, Felicia!

Happy Halloween!! I do like this imaginary costume thing, works well when it's 30 degrees outside. ;-) Lets see. . .I'll dress as moss woman from the Magic Wool books. And Mike could be moss man. I always loved him in moss. :-D
