Style up your Halloween costume

I was looking at the Mcqueen spring/summer 2012 Couture collection, (aren't they stunning) and then while looking at the veils I thought, why not try something like that for Halloween.
 Halloween is a time where it is traditional to dress up, no matter what age you are. So maybe you are having trouble thinking what to dress up as or perhaps you want to try something a bit more pretty than grotesque. The veils are made from a few different materials, but if you get some lace, sequins and beads you could easily make up a 'mask' for the holiday.


You would be fashion forward, have a reason to wear this unusual style and look gorgeous, as well as mysterious in your veil. Then all you need to complete the look is some simplistic makeup,a floaty dress to match your veil and some killer heels. You could even add some glitter, a few sequins or stitch on some feathers to the shoes and dress until you get the look.(If you need any help on how to do these things, remember, Youtube must have a video for everything by now).


Why not look at a few other couture collections, your favourites old and new. You would have an edge over many other costumes at a party and would have reason to wear the styles you love.


What are you dressing up as this Halloween? Do you think you will be trying this?



p.s. Here are a few examples of other couture collections you may like to create...

Valentino ( big head pieces)


Dior ( Make a traditional kimono more high fashion)

Marchesa ( Tie dye)

House of Worth Tribute Store! Wishful Thinking...


I am one of those people who just love glamour! If I had the money, I would only wear amazingly glamourous floor length gowns every day! I'm serious! I would love to sit on a extraordinary sofa in a big country house or mansion, wearing a black diamond studded floor length gown and the biggest fur stole you ever saw, oh don't forget the Christian Louboutin platform pumps! Oh, stop me before I max out my credit card! Again...

There are times when I think that I was born into the wrong century! I would fit in in the 1800's so damn good! Ah, imagine it, being a socialite, invited for tea in all kinds of posh houses, going to court to kiss the Queen's rings, having your own personal seamstress who would bend over backwards for your satisfaction. (Get your mind out of the gutter) ;D

anyway, I was born 1992, destined to live a life wearing boring fashion like this:
Well, it's only boring in comparison to this gorgeous creation:

Isn't it GORGEOUS? Its made by 'The Father of Haute Couture' Charles Frederick Worth! (1825 - 1895) 

Charles Frederick Worth established 'House Of Worth' which is one of the oldest fashion houses there is! (Founded in 1850) He is called the father of Haute Couture! He was the one who started the trend for ladies to wear the dresses with the big bustle and richly worked long trains!
(House of Worth Court dress, 1888)

I would love to see this kind of dresses in Starplaza! I would even pay LE prices for them! This is really my kind of fashion, THIS is what I call REAL high fashion (Haute Couture)
The appreciation of this kind of clothing is fucking lost to the world and it makes me so sad!

Personally, I think Stardoll should make a 'House of Worth' tribute store! What could be better than tributing the father of Haute Couture?
