Celtic Warrior Chick Costumes through the years...

A few years on a similar theme...

I think 2006 was the first year I did the warrior chick thing. I wore this to work at the vet's. I called it "Bravetart." (I forgot I was in costume after a while, and later felt REALLY bad that when a guy had to have his dog euthanized, and I went in the exam room wearing a big old dirk on my belt!)



2009, I did the kilt and sash again, but with a cami instead of the corset-bodice-thing and blouse, more woad, and a red wig.


With the husband, who liked his faux kilt (I just sewed fabric to a pair of denim shorts) so much, I made him a real kilt.





This year, I went a little more Pictish with a hint of Viking, better weapons, a lot of hair extensions, and a lot less fabric. My party was last night, but there will be a LOT more Halloweenin' to do before the year is out.


I didn't get any full length shots last night, since I was too busy DOING shots, but I took these as I was making the costume.


Defending my fortress!
