bellatrix lestrange costume?

I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan, and i am going to a Halloween Party friday night. I just thought of dressing up like bellatrix, but im not sure how to do it. Does anyone have a simple pattern so i can sew her dress? or a place to get one (in an Adult Size, i can find kids ones. or something similar, or that i could transform into it)?

Please help! I dont have a black dress that i can just cut up

I already know that if i find/make a dress, im spraying my hair partly black and teasing and parting it way off to one side, making my skin look pale, and wearing black eyeliner...

All other ideas are appreciated, just please try to keep it as simple as possible!

Thanks in advance!

I would say try and find a black vampire Style Dress at your local Walmart in the Halloween aisle... kind of the right idea. You could alter it pretty easy to make the perfect Bellatrix!!

Also, Idk if you did, but you totally need to get a wand! If you want one really cheap, find a tree, break off a branch, break the twigs off that branch, and tada! You have yourself a bonafide wand!

Also, you could have an Azkaban paper (kind of like the one Sirius is holding in the promo for the 3rd movie) that would make it more obvious who you are....

Three Types Of Bloomers

History has witnessed the development of bloomers during which time bloomers have generated three main styles.

 

Fashion bloomers (skirted)

 

The original bloomers were an article of women's clothing invented by Elizabeth Smith Miller of Peterboro, NY and Fabrizia Flynn, wife of the Italian ambassador to Penrhiwceiber, south Wales, and early pioneer of the galvanized [or vulcanized?] rubber girdle, but popularized by Amerlia Bloomerr in the early 1850s (hence the name, a shortening of "Bloomer suit"). They were long baggy pants narrowing to a cuff at the ankles (worn below a skirt), intended to preserve Victorian decency while being less of a hindrance to women's activities than the long full skirts of the period. They were worn by a few women in the 1850s, but were widely ridiculed in the press, and failed to become commonly accepted. Bloomer was an insult made up by the newspapers of the time. British explorer Richard Francis Burton Richard Francis Burton, travelling across the United States in 1860 noted that he saw only one woman (whom he called a "hermaphrodite") wearing bloomers. The costume was called the "American Dress" or "Reform Costume" by the women's activists that wore it. Most of the women who wore the costume were deeply involved in dress reform, abolition, temperance and the women's rights movement. Although practical, the "bloomers" were also an attempt to reform fashion since the majority of "bloomers" were also in upper to middle class and also in the public eye.

These early bloomers were partly an attempt to adapt young girls' short skirts and pantalettes to adult women's attire, and were partly influenced by middle-eastern clothing styles (or what was thought to be middle-eastern styles)—hence the name "Syrian costume".

The word "bloomers" was sometimes used for the wearers of the garments, rather than the garments themselves.

 

Bloomers invented by Amelia Jenks Bloomer in the 1850's. A short skirt buttoned down to the ankle and worn woth a wide hat and a coat In 1909, fashion designer Paul Poiret attempted to popularize harem pants worn below a long flaring tunic, but this attempted revival of fashion bloomers under another name did not catch on.

 

Athletic bloomers (unskirted)

 

During the late 19th century, athletic bloomers (also known as "rationals" or "knickerbocker") were skirtless baggy knee-length trousers, fastened to the leg a little below the knees; at that time, they were worn by women in a few narrow contexts of athletic activity—such as bicycle-riding, gymnastics, and sports other than tennis—only (see 1890s in fashion). Bloomers were usually worn with stockings and after 1910 often with a sailor middy blouse. Bloomers became shorter by the late 1920s. In the 1930s, when it become respectable for women to wear pants and shorts in a wider range of circumstances, styles imitating men's shorts were favored, and bloomers tended to become less common. However, baggy knee-length gym shorts fastened at or above the knees continued to be worn by girls in school physical education classes through to the 1950s in some areas. Some schools in New York City and Sydney are still wore them as part of their uniforms into the 1980s.

The Bloominton, Illinois entry in the Three-I League of minor league baseball, despite being an all-male team, was tagged with the nickname "Bloomers" for several decades in the early 1900s.

 

Bloomers had been introduced into Japan as clothing for physical education in the beginning of 20th century. Around after the Olympics in Tokyo, style of bloomers for P.E. have changed to fit the body which is similar to volleyball uniforms used often 1960s to 1990s, then bloomers gave way to sport shorts in most of schools in Japan after middle of 1990s. Bloomers are a type of girl's gym shorts in Japan, and some people are interested in bloomers in clothing fetish context.

 

Undergarments

 

Women's baggy underpants fastened to just below or above the knee are also known as "bloomers" (or as "knickers" or "directoire knickers"). They were most popular in the 1910s and 1920s but continued to be worn by older women for several decades thereafter. Often the term "bloomers" has been used interchangeably with the pantalettes worn by women and girls in the mid 19th century and the open leg knee length drawers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Fancy dress or costume parties are really popular all over the world, in recent years people have been really creative whenever there has been a family or friend’s birthday, Halloween even New Year’s Eve parties.

How To Choose The Great Kids Costume For Halloween

Halloween can be an exciting time for kids and if it happens to be the kid's first Halloween, then you should dress him up in the cutest possible costumes. Even assuming your kid is older and has enjoyed a Halloween or two, still make this Halloween special by dressing him or her up to stand out against the rest. Imagine the kid's delight when everyone fusses over him and raves about how cute he looks.

Selecting and ordering kid's Halloween Costumes can be great fun. There are several websites that sell ready to order costumes. They may cost a little more, but save you all the bother of trying to create one and also offering a wide choice of professional looking costumes. If you want to dress up your kid in more classic ways, there are still lots of options available on the internet. Dress them up in the classic Halloween pumpkin, or perhaps a mischievous monkey. Nothing could be cuter than your little tike in a bear costume.

But some parents may like to make for their child a great kid Halloween costume by themselves at home. It's a great feeling having your kid wear something that you painstakingly made with love and care. Opt for a classic ghost with some sheets from around the house and some white Face Paint. A Lady Bug or a butterfly could also be made at home with a little more time and effort. Another great idea is to find an old sweatshirt lying around and glue ears to the hood. From there you can make almost any lovable cartoon character come to life. Want your little angel to be, well, a little angel?

Take an ordinary white t-shirt and sew on fabric wings to the back. Some gold ribbon and a gold headband for the halo makes your angel complete. If you are pressed for time and not able to readily get the materials, you can simply paint the face to transform your child into a lion, tiger, or butterfly. When you really think about it, there can be ideas galore. Opt for a suit that has few pieces and no mask. Some cute Toddler Costume ideas include a monkey, doggy, kitty or princess. Use face paint instead of a mask and easily attach ears or a crown with either a headband or barrettes. A shortened monkey tail will also help avoid potential tripping.

To ensure your kid truly enjoys the Halloween costume, remember to choose a costume that your kid will be comfortable wearing and can move about freely. Avoid making the costume heavy or cumbersome that your kid cannot run around, play games, or a dress that hurts. Another useful tip to make things convenient is to make the costumes bathroom accessible to avoid any abnormal situations. Another thing you need to remember is your kid should be able to eat, walk and play without being discomfort.

It is of paramount importance that the kid Halloween costumes are absolutely safe. All materials used must be flame-proof as it is difficult to be constantly supervise whether the child adheres to safety norms when lit candles are around. You can even swap candles for glow sticks to make things safer. Halloween Costumes For Kids are meant to be fun and not a hazard which may make the night a nightmarish affair.

Womens Costumes That Will Win Contests

Every Halloween a number of venues host contests that have a Womens Costume category. If you've got a particularly creative or detailed costume, you can actually win quite a bit of money in some of these contests. If you're serious about competing for the cash, you're going to want to spend some time shopping for and comparing womens costumes to find just the right ensemble for you.

What to look for in womens costumes: One of the biggest wow factors in womens costumes comes from wearing something that no one else has seen before. Again, this is a great reason to spend a little time shopping online. It gives you the opportunity to discover hidden gems that others might not have found. It can also help to take the venue into consideration. If you show up to a costume contest at a casino dressed as Lady Luck, you might score a few extra points from the judges.

Quite a number of Halloween costume contests take place in bars. If you're trying to compete in the bar crowd, then it might be worthwhile to consider sexy womens costumes. Keep in mind, though, that just being sexy probably isn't enough. There should be something really unique about your outfit. That could mean that it's really well made with lots of detail, that it's a new take on something everyone knows (maybe a sexy version of the Tin Woodman from the Wizard of Oz, for example), or it's something completely unexpected and new.

In addition to sexy womens costumes, funny costumes also do well in contests. Chances are that the crowd and judges are already going to be having a good time (it's Halloween, after all), so something that makes them laugh is likely to score pretty well. Choosing something topical for your area might also give you an advantage. Dressing as a basketball player is too generic to win contests. Dressing up as the star of the local college basketball team gives you more of an edge.

Getting the most from costume contests: Before Halloween comes around, you'll need to decide whether you want to go out just to have fun, or if winning costume contests is a major goal for you. If you decide you want to be competitive, start early by finding out where the best contests are in your town. Having the coolest womens costume in the world doesn't matter if you're not at the right place to show it off.

You can often find the contests advertised in your local weekly paper. They'll likely include the prize amounts and the cost of entry, if this is required. There are probably enough free costume contests that you shouldn't have to pay to compete. If you have to, call the venue to find out what kind of prize money is being offered.

Make a list of all the costume contests that includes the time of the contest and the location of the bar or other venue. It might be helpful to prioritize them by time, geography, or prize money offered. You may find that you can only do contests in a certain part of town due to time constraints. If you are going to be driving from venue to venue, make sure you aren't drinking or that you have a designated driver.

Of course, just having a cool womens costume to wear for Halloween should be fun in and of itself. Winning contests for your great costume will hopefully just be the icing on the cake of a great night out with your friends.

Cinderella Dresses Review

One of the most popular Disney princesses in history, Cinderella, is a princess who is timeless and stunning in her simplicity.  With her striking blonde hair and quiet demeanor, she is a favorite among little girls young and old and her popularity spans boundaries, as her popularity increases all over the world from the United States to Canada to Europe, Australia and Asia.

Cinderella merchandising has reached new marketing heights as this popular character sells everything from Disneyland theme park vacations to character dolls, to toys and games.  While nearly every little princess has seen the Disney classic movie, "Cinderella" multiple times, many also wish to look like her by having their very own Cinderella dresses and accessories.

When looking for the appropriate dress up costume for their children, parents sometimes will make faulty choices when choosing a Quality Costume for their kids.  They often get disappointed as the dress they paid a lot of money for falls apart or rips in just a couple of wears, or gets dirty and then disintegrates in the wash.  Many malls include a Disney Store where you can get beautiful Cinderella Disney princess Costumes On Sale for anywhere from $20-$80.  You may also find look-alikes at discount stores in the toy section.  Many of these stores sell princess dresses and other costumes that range in price from $18-$40.  While some of these costumes are fancy and fun, they are not practical for the average little girl who may love to wear her Cinderella Dress all day long.  They are often itchy and made from toile fabric that rips easily when caught on dress up shoes or when stepped on inadvertently.

There are other alternatives to buying your Cinderella dress up clothes at the Disney Store, or at other discount stores.  Little Adventures brand has great quality Princess Costumes from Cinderella to Snow White.  They even have dress ups for boys, dolls, and adults that match.  They offer a wide variety of sizes from 2T-10 and have matching doll dresses for each Princess Costume.  Best of all, Little Adventures dresses are all machine washable and made from High Quality fabrics that are comfortable, do not itch, and hold up to all day wear and tear from children.

You can find Little Adventures Cinderella dresses in a variety of locations.  Many online retailers sell them, or you can find them on Amazon, ebay, or at your local Quilted Bear store.  Best of all, Little Adventures costumes are affordable, usually under $30.  You can sometimes find them on sale during Halloween and Christmas, but for a machine washable princess dress, $30 is very reasonable.  You may also be able to find these dresses sold in bulk for a discount and with free shipping.  Many Little Adventures dresses last 5 year or more!

Phish Tickets - Phish Gears Up For Massive Summer Road Trip

Last summer, Phish phans rejoiced when the legendary jam band returned to the road, and Rolling Stone recently reported that Trey Anastasio & Co. are poised to follow suit this summer, too. Phish will embark on a 29-date tour beginning with a June 11 show in Chicago. Phish's upcoming road trip will include multiple-night stands in major cities like Berkley, Calif., where the band will perform three back-to-back gigs at the Greek Theatre starting on Aug. 5. Phish also has a two-night run in Telluride, Colo. at Telluride Town Park lined up among other multi-nights stands.

Phish announced plans for their summer tour on March 22, weeks after bassist Mike Gordon hinted to Rolling Stone, "It's looking like [a tour] is in the talks. We knew we wanted to wait until summer to do something." Phish will stop in U.S. cites like Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio; Hershey, Pa.; Portsmouth, Va.; Hartford, Conn.; Saratoga Springs, N.Y.; Mansfield, Mass.; Camden, N.J.; Columbia, Md.; Charlotte, N.C.; Alpharetta, Ga.; Berkeley, Calif.; Telluride, Colo.; Noblesville, Ind.; East Troy, Mich.; Wantagh, N.Y. and more. To see Phish live this summer, get <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/phish-tickets/">Phish tickets</a> from <a href="http://www.stubhub.com/">StubHub.com</a> before they are all snatched up!

Although Phish hasn't been on tour recently, the jam band did perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on March 15. Paying tribute to 2010 inductees Genesis, Phish performed renditions of the prog-rock giants' "No Reply At All" and "Watcher of the Skies" at New York's Waldorf-Astoria hotel. Along with Genesis, the 2010 class of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees included Jimmy Cliff, the Hollies, the Stooges, David Geffen, ABBA, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, Jesse Stone, Mort Shuman and Otis Blackwell.

Phish frontman Trey Anastasio said while inducting Genesis, "Every musical rule and boundary was questioned and broken. It's impossible to overstate what impact this band and musical philosophy had on me as a young musician. I'm forever in their debt." Anastasio also praised the band for being "rebellious, restless and constantly striving for something more than the obvious," reported the New York Times.

Phish has plans to release a 3-D version of their 2009 Halloween festival this April to get fans excited about their summer tour—as if they need it! Titled Phish3D, the concert flick will arrive in select theatres next month. Phish's Festival 8 was held at Empire Polo Field in Indio, Calif.—the site of the Coachella Music Festival and the country music festival Stagecoach—over Halloween weekend (Oct. 20, 31 and Nov. 1). Phish performed a whopping eight sets during over the holiday weekend, including a special Acoustic Set on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 1).

The Vermont-bred band performed the Rolling Stones' classic album Exile On Main Street in its entirety on the second day of the three-day music event. Delivering a performance of another band's album is a tradition during Phish's Halloween music spectaculars, and in past years the band's "musical costuming" has seen them perform Genesis' Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Radiohead's Kid A, MGMT's Oracular Spectacular, Prince's Purple Rain, King Crimson's Lark Tongues in Aspic, David Bowie's Hunky Dory and Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland.

Fun Kids Birthday Party Themes to Make Your Day

Each year, kids look forward to their birthday with anxious anticipation. In turn, parents strive to make their kids' party dreams come true. The following birthday party theme ideas will help you create a fun and memorable party filled with entertainment, excitement, and enjoyment!

HOW TO COME UP WITH FUN KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY THEMES

To come up with a fun theme, start by thinking about your child's favorite book, cartoon character, TV show, movie, animal or sport. You can then create the party around that particular idea.

For example, The Little Engine That Could book might become a train party. The Three Little Pigs could evolve into a farm party. Cartoon characters like Scooby Doo, Barney, and Mickey Mouse, all make wonderful theme parties. If your child loves superheroes, then Batman or Spiderman, are great options for creating a costume, action-packed theme party.

KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY THEME INVITATIONS

To make fun invitations, you'll want to be sure to do a play on words to coincide with your theme, along with making interesting and creative invites.

For example, if you're having a Pirate Party you could make your invitations look like treasure maps. Crumple brown paper bags to look like parchment paper. Draw a map leading up to your house, which would be marked with an "X." Say something like, "Ahoy Matey! Prepare to Set Sail on the Seven Seas. All Ye Scallywags Come and Join Me. Chart Yer Course for (address) on (date). Don't Be Late or Ya'll Walk the Plank!

For a bowling party, you might create an invitation in the shape of a bowling pin and say something like, "Hope You Can 'Spare' The Time to Celebrate."

For a Dora the Explorer party you might say something like, "Hola Amigos (boy) Amigas (girl). Join (birthday child's name) for a fiesta! Then add your party details. RSVP to (Name & Phone) so Swiper Fox doesn't swipe your spot.

Remember, your invites are the first impression your guests will receive as to what your party is all about. Just be creative and you're sure to start the pre-party excitement.

KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY THEME DECORATIONS

Once you have your theme figured out, the ideas for decorations will start to flow. If you're going to use balloons and streamers, the theme will help dictate the appropriate colors. For example, a Batman theme party would lend itself to black and yellow, whereas a tea party might be lavender, pink, mint green, and cream. A princess party calls for a royal affair sporting purple and gold.

If you're looking to make a major statement, then you'll want to think about turning the party room into that theme. For example, turn an entire room into an undersea adventure for Finding Nemo. Cover the ceiling with a net and fill it with blue and white balloons to create the clouds. Cover the walls with blue butcher paper for the water. Attach various fish pictures from fishing line and hang from the ceiling.

Let your creative juices flow and voila' a themed party room will emerge.

KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY THEME FOOD

Once again, let creativity rule. Think of your theme and see if you can come up with some ideas using a play on words. Create a sign and place by each food item to identify it's new theme name. For example, serve peanut butter & jellyfish sandwiches and Goldfish crackers for a Finding Nemo party theme.

At a superhero party, you could serve mini super "hero sandwiches."

Bottom Line: Use a little creativity and imagination, have fun, think outside the box, and you'll up with some fun kids birthday party theme ideas to satisfy all of your party-goers.

Indian Wedding Dresses

Weddings in India are an elaborate affair and are celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm. The high magnitude of Indian marriages brings glory to families and is remembered for decades to come. Attention is thus paid to minute details of the wedding from venue to catering to decorations to even the wedding dresses.

Indian dresses for women include sarees, lehengas or ghagra cholis, suits/salwaar kameez, etc. An Indian saree or a lehenga make for the most beautiful dresses in the world. They have, in fact, become the most preferred wedding dresses all over the world, owing to their colorfulness and the glamour quotient. The Indian market for bridal wear has today become highly customized, attracting more women from around the globe than ever before. Indian wedding dresses are fused with Western trends to make the costume more appealing for the would-be brides.

A bride wants to look her best on the most important day of her life, the day of her wedding. The wedding dress becomes the most important part of a bride’s beauty along with other elements like jewelry, hairstyle, make up, henna application and footwear completing the wedding attire. The perfect application of everything above can make a bride look like a fairy on her D-day. But only the styles that are comfortable and suitable to an individual’s body type should be adopted.

Indian wedding dresses are very bright and colorful, enriched with exquisite designs and embroidery. The color ‘Red’ is considered to be the color of married women in India. The brides generally wear red colored dresses in their wedding but it is now replaced by different colors as brides are getting more experimental. The colors have become seasonal with intricate embellishments, threadwork or crystal work seen on the dresses. The wedding costumes in India sometimes play a larger role than just adorning the bride; it becomes an emotional connect between a mother and a daughter and is passed on as an heirloom.

In India, the change in culture and beliefs can be seen with the change in region. Women wear different kinds of wedding dresses across the country depending on their religion or community. Some of the most popular styles of Indian wedding dresses are:

Saree: The saree in India has become a national garment for women and is adored by women across the globe. From celebrities to locals, every woman looks just perfect in a saree. It is a very feminine way of dressing up and now defines beauty of women worldwide. Sarees are among the few dresses that can be worn in both traditional and fashionable ways and still give you a chic appearance. Re-invention of Indian saree offers diverse ways of draping it; it can be teamed up with blouses in spaghetti, tie back or tank top styles. Huge variety of sarees like chiffon, silk, banarasi, kanjivaram, etc. also make for a style statement.

Salwaar Kameez: This represents another Indian way of dressing up and consists of a long tunic, well designed pants and a dupatta. There can be some exclusive salwaar kameez adorned with some elaborate work, heavy embellishments or cuts and patterns. It can also be worn to other semi-formal events, parties and even to work. Salwaar Kameez can be a mixture of simple chikan churidars, full dupattas of phulkari work, etc.

Ghagra Choli or Lehenga: Wearing lehengas for wedding have become a rage for Indian brides. It is a full length skirt with either a short or a waist length blouse combined with a dupatta. Lehengas can be adapted to a large number of styles, cuts and designs like A-line, straight cut, big flare, etc. It is popular not only among brides but also with girls attending a wedding or some other functions.

Indian marriage as well as their dresses always needs a lot of preparations. It not only makes for an unforgettable day but also becomes a status symbol. Make it exclusive and illustrious by choosing the right style.
