I'm a Unicorn! A Costume Preview

It's this time of the year again! Karneval! From Thursday on it will be all about costumes, glitter and false lashes. Oh, and beer, beer is pretty important too!
So I have been working on my costume for a while and I thought I'd give you a little preview!

Yup, I'm a unicorn. The make-up will be different, though, right now I don't look sparkly but greasy. Today I will hopefully finish the dress and some accessoires and then the best costume ever is done! Okay, it's probably not the best costume I have ever made, but hey, it's hard to come up with something new every year, especially with a limited budget and very little sewing skills.
On Saturday I am going to go to the annual costume ball which takes place in my hometown. The last three years I always won a prize for best costume but they CAN'T seriously give me one again, how unfair would that be? Therefore, I decided to tone it down a bit, at least this year. I want an easy, comfortable costume that doesn't itch, hurt my head or hits the people around me so yeah, unicorn it is.

Here are the costumes I wore to the ball the last two years:

Do you celebrate Karneval or something similar?

Have a great day,

It's a little late...

...but I wanted to share the costume I was wearing for a costume ball during the cologne carnival. I went as galaxy and I spent all the time I should have used for studying for my exams at university to make the costume. Especially the hat. Unfortunately, I do not have a nice picture of my whole costume but I think the face and the hat are the most interesting parts anyway.

The ball was pretty nice, I got lots of compliments on the costume and the makeup and in the end I won the second price for single costume. Unfortunately, the hat hurt my head...

Have a lovely day, everyone.
PS: Tomorrow is my birthday, yay!
