I me...ummm... not sure about the tulle look at all. I mean it is cute with the yellow summery dresses, but your maids are in much darker ones. I think the whole look could date really quickly. How about embelishments on the neckline/hemline with beading or applique? there is a cool tutorial around about a recent appliqué diy gown. Very funky. But really, that is just me. If you really love the tulle look, then slips/petticoats are the way to go. plus love the red lippy idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828721822491875400.post-24545244765361442172008-11-14T09:18:00.000-06:002008-11-14T09:18:00.000-06:00i love this! seriously, I'm about to go retrofit ...i love this! seriously, I'm about to go retrofit all of my dresses. ok, not all, but i do totally heart this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828721822491875400.post-53092674318347364322008-11-14T08:01:00.000-06:002008-11-14T08:01:00.000-06:00My idea, call it a Tulle Petticoat.

Those links are <I>great</I> - so helpful!<BR/><BR/>We found fantasy blue seersucker Christian Louboutins, but *a little more reasonable* were some awesome red and white striped Michael Kors that Avery found. ;-) I also think a plain red sandal would be great. Interesting considering the red tulle, though!!<BR/><BR/>Did you see the black and white ostrich feather slip at Your Slip is Showing?! Incredible... and $300. <BR/><BR/>I think DIY or these fun links you sent are the way to go. They're so girly and exciting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828721822491875400.post-86960303921540956062008-11-13T14:43:00.000-06:002008-11-13T14:43:00.000-06:00also, those slips you linked to are gorgeous, but ...also, those slips you linked to are gorgeous, but you could definitely DIY for way cheaper.S@shahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329629158498598528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828721822491875400.post-83950583534330100422008-11-13T14:40:00.000-06:002008-11-13T14:40:00.000-06:00I think getting little dots on the slip would look...I think getting little dots on the slip would look adorable, but probably really expensive and/or time consuming because it would have to be hand done. (Unless you've found tulle with polka dots already?) I did a quick search for tulle underskirts and came up with these links, both of which have red petticoat options: http://www.costumesetc.com/product_info.php?pName=adult-crinoline-petticoat&source=froogle<BR/>and<BR/>http://www.bridalpetticoat.com/searchresult.aspx?Categoryid=10<BR/><BR/>A little red could look good sticking out from under the blue. Have they choosen their shoes already? B/c maybe the shoes could be polka-dotted and the petticoats solid? Also, you could try searching for crinoline-- maybe less sexy french maid options would come up in the search. (Who knew that so many people wanted to wear what amounts to ruffly panties for Halloween)?S@shahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329629158498598528noreply@blogger.com
