My homemade Pretty Woman costume

I have wanted to put the Vivian 

from Pretty Woman costume together 

for at least 10 years. 
 It's my favorite movie. 

Well, I finally did it and loved it.

I made the dress from a mini skirt that

 I got on eBay and a plain white tank top from Walmart.  The hoop connecting them is a shower

curtain ring.  I cut the shirt like I thought it should look, then I sewed the hoop into it.  I cut a notch in the top of the skirt and put the ring through it.

The shower ring worked perfect because I 

can take the pieces back apart and wash them easily.

The jacket came from the Goodwill for $5.99.  I bought 2 but liked this one better.  

I love dressing up, so I have had the boots for about 5 or 6 years.  They worked great.  

The wig and hat I got on eBay.  

I just looked at a bunch of pictures 

of Julia Roberts as Vivian 

in the movie and tried to copy best I could.

Here it is without the jacket. 

 I guess the necklaces

were one of the hardest things. 

 I made all of them from string and chains.  

There were not alot of close up pics to

show what they really looked like.  I made the 

little black stick object from pipe cleaners.

  Not sure what it was even supposed to be...a stick man or a bird's foot?  

Anyway, it looked kinda like what she wore. 

 Ha.

She wore several black and silver bracelets.

There is a photo or 2 online that show

 them pretty good.   I wore 5 that looked similar 

to what she had on.

We went to a Halloween party, 

and the outfit was a hit.  

I was hoping people would realize who I was.  They did.  :)

 I won the overall best costume prize.  

The 5" heels about made me break my neck a couple of times

by the end of the night but...

it was much much fun!
