Wow. Amazing. Smart to do a long skirt instead of pants as I've seen others do. Love the ornate jacket.

This is a great costume- I'm adapting it for a man this year. But can you explain how you got the LEDs to light up (battery pack, something else)? Or if anyone else has figured it out, may be they can chime in.

I bought two strings of LED lights, each with a battery pack. I sewed little pockets on the black skirt, one at the top and one at the bottom. That way I could remove the battery pack easily to change/remove the batteries and to turn them on and off.

Well done and great idea...it's usually the genie on the carpet but with this costume you can dance and have fun! Genius!

Great costume!!! How did you attach the lamp? To your shoe?

#14 comment by Kelly October 25, 2016

I poked holes in the back of the lamp and had it zip tied through the black fabric. Originally I tried having it attached to my shoe, but it didn't work with walking.

Cool costume!! Did you use hot glue on the webbing?

#16 comment by Kelly October 27, 2016

I first placed the LED strings and sewed them in place, then used hot glue for the webbing.

That is such an amazing costume I'm trying this this year. I have an air brush makeup that I will be applying but not sure exactly what shade of blue. What she of blue did you use? Is it more like a sky blue or a darker blue shade?
