DIY- Ragdoll dress & make up

Hello beautiful:) Just a quick post about how I made my ragdoll dress, there's also a make up tutorial on my youtube channel for this look if you want to check it out. Hope you enjoy:)


All you need is an old dress I (bought this one from Miss Selfridge a few years ago)



random scraps of material (bought all this material for a nifty £2.50 from Remington Kings and  asked for 10cm strips) buttons, hem tape, scissors and glue.


Its pretty simple just chop up the materials & stick it to the dress with hem tape but you can also use fabric glue, sew, or even staple that's the beauty of DIY you can rock it your way. Stick on a few random buttons & put 2x larger buttons on the sleeves to make the dress look like a pinny. And voila you should end up with something like this.











I also threw on an old shrug for cover up some tights (feel free to rip) & my killer crimson Unif hell bounds. Hope you had great Halloween:)

Much love Christina xxxx

Creepy Ragdoll Costume & Halloween Glasgow Movie Drive Through







Hello beautiful:) This is my first post (yaaaaay)last night I went to the Halloween movie drive through at M&D's theme park to see Insidious.It was our first time seeing a drive through movie & it was pretty good despite the cold & rain & the windows fogging up constantly (will defiantly bring a blanket to snuggle next time!)As the tradition of Halloween I wanted to dress up this time as a creepy ragdoll it was pretty rushed though as my sister wanted me to do her skull make-up which took longer than expected.A great night & a highly recommended if you are in the Glasgow area around Halloween its only £25 per car & you can bring your own food & drink. What's your plans for Halloween?? Much Love Christina xxx
