I love birthdays, (especially if they're my own!). With the big day coming up next week, my mother and I stopped by the fabric store to see if I could find more pretty shiny things to make into costumes. The sale rack will never be the same!
What we found was:
-Purple charmeuse for a gypsy blouse and a circle skirt ($3.50/yard after the 50% off coupon)
-a shiny purple-blue whorled pattern cotton/poly blend for a bolero vest ($1.60 a yard)
-a lavender and blue watercolor type print material for a choli (still need to look at the reciept for the remenant price)
and my prize of prizes from the sale:
-over 5 yards worth of pale pinkish-lavendar sari material with a silver border for a circle panel skirt (and maybe a veil if I have enough left over) at $2.00/yard
The result? Two costume's worth of fabric for under $60. All I need is a belt or coin scarf and I'll be set.
