The "Red" Queen

This weekend we traveled roughly 4 hours to Evansville, Indiana for a roller derby bout

Our travel team was playing in their first WFTDA bout (the big time)

Look a theme.. yes yes. 

We got dressed up 

P was the madd hatter and I was the red queen

Inspiration

My version

I took an existing corset added gold sequins trim, made a red skirt with elastic and added the gold hearts than took 24 yards of tulle and made a tutu using ribbon, made the septor from a dowel rod and wire and painted it gold

part of the half time show using mop buckets

yup thats P in his yellow plaid suit

Thanks to Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chick for posting this this series  for getting my wheels going

because it brought up one thing.. my coat closet in my entry way

IT NEEDS A LOT OF HELP.

(& do I really want to show it to the public, yes it is that bad)

With the help of pinterest I found these inspiring pictures
