I am a sucker for novelty Halloween fabric. Novelty fabrics in general or themed things.

This kitschy vintage vibe Halloween themed fabric called my name and jumped into my cart.

I know it’s July but I wear Halloween-esque items all year round. Also, I have time now to sew as opposed to the busy holiday season. So, I’m sewing up my new Halloween themed pieces this month.

Shoes are by Dansko - These are the Thea’s in Black. (no longer available)

I wish I would’ve bought more of it than I did to do a full Charm Scout dress (I need 5-6 yards of fabric for that). But summer slow down is real for this maker’s wallet.

Up close view of the pattern when it was a work in progress.

Details
Fabric: Bodice -Johnny Yanok Trick or Treat Fabric from JoAnn. There are more kitschy designs in this collection. Skirt -Poly sateen I thrifted.
Pattern: Bodice - Charm Scout Dress. Skirt - Night and Day Flared Skirt. Both by my fave Charm Patterns.
Alterations: I misplaced the collar for the bodice and decided I will add that later. I added a zipper instead of buttons. I prefer installing zippers over buttons on this style of dress. I also, skipped the button closure and keyhole detail on the sleeve. I like this style to not be fussy. Easy on, easy off as I tend to work in them.

*Nothing is sponsored, I bought everything myself because I liked them. I am also a patron of Gertie’s Patreon.

Feels a bit weird posting this Halloween dress on a day with 84 degree weather but here I am.
