Gothic Aristocrat Cancan costume

I was invited to a fancy dress party on Saturday night where you had to dress as something beginning with C (yes, I snickered at first too).  Ever one to use any excuse to dress up EGL, I went as a Cancan dancer, albeit a Victorian one.

I wore several tutus and bloomers/underskirt underneath the big bustle skirt, so it was truly huge and pouffy. Black & white striped stockings paired with the victorian looking boots gave a cancan or saloon girl look to the outfit. Have a look.

My beaded lace over straw percher sloped down to reveal a smoky eye, circle lenses in violet (from Pinky Paradise in G&G; BT02) and bright pink lips.

Oh, I mustn’t forget my other half – he went as a clown. He wasn’t meant to be a scary one, but judge for yourself…and check out the Crow while you’re there.
What do you think of our get-ups? There was a great Centurion there, the Crow, Jimmy Cagney, 2 Captain Hammers (from Dr Horrible’s Singalong Blog), numerous cats and one Cheetah, a cross-dressing cyclist, a cheerleader-come-drinking coach and a Catholic Priest.
Next week is a club I love a lot – Black Cherry – so there WILL be more dressing up!

  1. Your smoky eye is amazing. And you make the circle lenses tempting. I will have to go through your prior posts and see which lenses are less irritating.

  2. Oh thank you!!! I seem to need really dark colours in my crease to make my eyes pop (at least until I get the eye op!) These ones were the G&G; BT02 http://www.pinkyparadise.com/webshaper/store/viewProd.asp?pkProductItem=51 The same as my favourite aqua ones. I wear these 2 the most, as they are the most comfy and have a big impact ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. Hehe, hello! I can imagine, if I had a better tolerance for heels I'd be all over them like a rash bahaha ๐Ÿ˜›

    Oh thanks! I love your fashion sense, so I take that as a huge compliment! Actually, I've seen pics of you before on facefail at Die Machine or something like that and I remember admiring your outfits. I was really surprised when I just randomly came across your blog.
