Description

I love Lady Gaga’s style (and secretly wish I could dress as outrageously as she does sometimes!), so of course I had to make a Gaga halloween costume. I chose a dress that I thought would be pretty straightforward to copy and made up the pattern as I went along. I used some pieces from the Bambi pattern to get some help on the basic bust shape and then made my own pattern after that. The skirt was the trickiest part! In the end I also sewed some pipe cleaners into the bust pieces to help them stay up. I think it came together pretty well and I had a lot of fun wearing it out!
