It’s almost that spooky time of year again! The one day of
the year where witches, ghouls, winged creatures and villainous vixens come out
in all their glory to honour the eve of All Saints’ Day.
We are celebrating by displaying our eerily beautiful ‘Bad
Black Bat’ miniature ballet costume. Made entirely by hand, this quarter scale
maquette is comprised of a silk tulle dress with a blood red underskirt and
tiny slime green 1920’s gelatine sequins. The bodice is appliquéd with vintage
midnight black lace and the bat-like wings are made of latex and dead leaf
spines.
Does it remind you of a certain caped crusader? Created by
the very same hand that brought you the original Batsuit, Penguin and Catwoman
costumes for Batman Returns, this makes a wonderful and unique piece of costume
iconography to invest in.
Have a very happy Halloween!
