If you don't know where to start and are floundering at the prospect of making your first costume, consider the following questions. What colour do you think suits you best? Which style would compliment your figure? Which style am I aiming for? Do I have anything I can use in my existing wardrobe?

I am a great advocate of making your own costume, mainly because you can play to your strengths, save money and create a piece unique to you.

You don't have to be an aspiring tailor! and what's more I guarantee you will be planning your next one a few months after the first.
