First, one with the lights on, so you can see the antennae and the green sparkly petticoat:
And then one with the lights off so you can see the actual cool part; the glowing hem:
At the dance on Saturday, the lights were dimmer, so the hem showed up better, and people picked up on it a lot faster. On Friday, the lights were fairly bright, so people kept asking me why I had a battery pack on my hip. Also, on Saturday, there was a toddler dressed as a witch (most adorable witch ever) who was absolutely fascinated by the fact that my skirt lit up -- in part I think because the hem was at eye-level for her. So periodically I would go to move and she would be tugging at my skirt, staring. It was 1/2 adorable and 1/2 "Oh no, one of these times I'm going to step on her and her parents will be furious."
On a side note, I'm debating whether I should participate in Nanowrimo as usual or make a new costume in November instead. I don't think I can do both, simply for lack of time.
On another side note, my antibodies came in today so I started experiments! Woo!

Awesome. I like the costume.
Also, that you get to say things like "My antibodies came in today."
Shiny! Are you using EL wire?
I am indeed using EL wire. It's pretty fantastic.
So cute and clever! Good work. =)
Plus you are dancing; how could I not be proud. =)
