A) I don't wear jammies...only ratty old gowns that I sweat in because I still get night sweats with my menopause and B) even if I did wear jammies, it's too hot at work to wear a big nightgown or silly footies. (Yes, the two ladies who INSISTED on jammies are tall and thin. I am short and round.) So in revenge, I'm going to use Wilde Imagination's Evangeline Ghastly as a model and I'm making a satiny long gown in a black to red ombre colors, probably sleeveless and then over it I will have a lace robe that has a spider pattern all over it. It will be a simple wrap robe with longish sleeves. Then, if the underbust corset I ordered arrives in time, I will add some lace and roses to it and wear it over the robe.
I really wanted to have everyone choose a genre to represent so I could do Steampunk, but maybe next year.
Dude. That sucks. Pajamas is NOT a costume. Sounds like yours at least will be fun!
