It's time for a Halloween Ball. An early evening gala at a an old spooky mansion. Where chandeliers seemingly sway in time to a haunted waltz. And candlelight reveals shadows of ghosts from another waltz danced long ago.
As the moon rises above the tree tops our witch changes into a more sinister gown with raven wings as black as night. Her gown rustles softly as she steps into an enchanted October evening.
I first made this dress with sleeves then decided it looked too much like a bathrobe. The wings are a damask taffeta ribbon but the pattern is hard to see in the pic. I liked it better after I cut off the sleeves.
These October dresses were having way too much fun that they asked to stay out a little while longer. I'll have to convince them to hop into the wardrobe later but for now I think I'll join them at the old spooky mansion. Thank you for stopping by.

G'morn Anna ~ These creations are just awesome! How creative you are.
We finally finished both house constructions & took off for 2 weeks. I apologize not having been with you lately, but will be better now.

I like both of them :-)
I think I would have lowered the chandelier on the orange dress a bit... and added something more on the shoulders... but they are both good :-)
Love the flowers on the black dress :-)

Hi Anna, These are so much fun. Very creative. Is there a pattern that you follow or make up your own? Would love to know what size you work with.

Lucky us, you made two dresses for us to admire! I love both of them, but the chandelier is wonderful!!
Stunning!! I love them both although I'm leaning towards your chandelier creation, the tiny detail is just fab!
You have a wonderful blog, great atmosphere! it always seems such a pity to leave! Mx
Oh my gosh--your talent is beyond awesome!!! These are gorgeous!!!! Love them to pieces!!! Anna, you rock!

Such wicked adornments! It's a good thing the one has sleevewings so that it can save the wearer of the other when they hang her from the ceiling in place of the normal chandelier!
Happy Hauntings!
I think both dresses are awesome! I especially like the black one! Thanks for "introducing" me to these little dresses! I made my first and linked to it on Alice and Camilla. I'm bummed that there will now only be two more months of the challenge!
Take care,
Angela
WOW WOW WOW!!!! these are both really gorgeous!!! You have put so much thought into them! XXX
I am so in awe of your talent. Your dresses are gorgeous. You have captured the mood of these two dresses with your words and story telling. I like the orange one with the chandelier best, but I would wear either in a pinch. I don't blame these lovelies for wanting to stay out of the closet for a few more days. I would, too.
Both dresses are awesome! The chandelier on the first one is so cool...how creative!
Two fabulous dresses with an enchanting story to match!
Not one but TWO lovely dresses, each has such sweet details ... Love the crow!
I am finally playing along too :)
