Heading to a swinging wake? Today I'm making the ultimate Halloween cocktail party dress in iridescent orange taffeta and black spider web embroidered mesh dotted with sparkling black sequins. Add a giant bat wing inspired collar, or four, and the happy haunts materialize into what will be my favorite fancy dress for all future Octobers...or perhaps all year long!

The spider web mesh fabric I used: etsy.com/listing/1265726605

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!

First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
