Making a Vintage 1920s Inspired Spooky Spiderweb Halloween Costume! WITH FIRE 🔥🔥🔥

Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday, and this year I got to go to an amazing 1920s Gatsby haunted speakeasy party in Salem, Massachusetts! Of course I had to make a costume for it and it couldn't be a typical flapper dress... I'm not a fan of the drop-waist styles from the mid-to-late 20s so I opted for a silhouette from the late 19-teens and very early 1920s with a more natural waistline. There are tons of Halloween and fancy dress costumes from the 1920s (some less culturally sensitive than others...) so I had lots of inspiration, but ultimately settled on an image of silent movie actress Louise Glaum from 1916 in a spiderweb themed gown. This costume was very much outside my comfort zone, since it's made from all synthetic fabrics! I used VERY unconventional sewing techniques to put this dress together, like burning the edges of the fabric with a lighter... 😂 But I'm so happy with how it turned out and I loved trying something new and different! My witchy, spooky heart is happy...
