so did you leave the tank top/skirt in or did you take them out?

@healaurah i just used them to trace the pattern, leave them out when ur done with that! :p

i wana make this! but i kinda would like to modify it. would it be possible to make add lace to it? as sleeves?

[Ase0esA]

@2011naomi2217 Yes, for sure! Good idea!

This is absolutely amazing! As a lot of others mentioned, the "store bought" versions of Morticia's dress are really dreadful and nothing like original! You are quite creative and did an amazing job!

I was going to ask where you got the portrait of Carolyn Jones as Morticia, but I see it's water marked. I'm guessing you found it on the 'net?

I love this video and have used it as a jumping off point and inspiration for my own Morticia dress for this Halloween. I am having a bit of a problem with the tentacles around the bottom hem. I have to move around a lot on Halloween night.. is there a way to sew the tentacles that they won't be tripping me up? So far I've tried pinning them in place prior to sewing and I had a heck of a time walking. The tentacles really have a mind of their own. Any thoughts or help? Thank you so much!!

I'm making this at the moment! I've never really made anything before so it's a bit of a fun challenge! Being a complete beginner I've made some mistakes, but this tutorial is really good and I'm following along just fine. I've made the tunic and now I've just finished the sleeves (figuring out how big to make them was tricky! My first ones were too small!) and have to attach them tomorrow. I think the sleeve attachment and the neckline will be the hardest bits! Fingers crossed!
