This costume was so much fun to dance in, and I encourage anyone to use my idea next year. I altered a thrift store 1980s prom dress to fit me, then blew up balloons, which I sewed into the flaps of the dress by wrapping the thread around the base of the balloons before making stitches. I made a headband using Christmas decorations, and had the perfect matching green pumps.
