Welcome to Dawn's Costume Page

We made our 2001 Angel and Genie costumes for our first time at "Wes' Legendary Annual Halloween Party" in Charlotte, North Carolina. The party is always huge and crowded. It was difficult but fun trying to manuever with my 3 foot wing span. We had so much fun at that first party, we haven't missed one since.

Our 2002 Swiss Miss costumes were inspired by the trip we took to Switzerland earlier in the year. We had such an incredible time in the Swiss Alps that we decided to relive it via our costumes. The costumes weren't terribly difficult to make. The hardest part was finding just the right accessories. A number of the other people on the Switzerland trip were also at the party, and got a kick out of our costume theme.

The 2003 Mermaid costume is my favorite. These costumes were incredibly labor-intensive. We were still adding the finishing touches just minutes before we left for the Halloween party of their debut. Making the skirt entailed sewing over 300 yards of elastic to give the fabric the shirred look.

For the 2004 Halloween party we decided to go with a festive theme, and spread some Christmas cheer a little early. We passed out candy canes instead of regular Halloween treats -- but only to the bad little boys and girls.
