The vampire doll project adapts the Parker Corset flats from Mood Fabrics, pairing decorative ribbon with a cotton ribbed lining for structure and softness. Crinoline played a big part in creating the silhouette for both the corset and the skirt, giving them shape and volume. The skirt features layered panels with buckle and black webbing details for a torn up look. I designed a prop wind-up key using a backpack cushion, velcro straps, and PVC with glittery gold spray paint. Additional elements, like the jack-in-the-box from eBay and wig from CrudeThings, enhanced the character. Part of my MassArt Fashion Illustration final project, the piece came to life for Halloween 2025 Scare Acting at Haunted Overload.

This witch hoodie using a tapestry I found at Blackcraft in Salem, MA. I started with the Glory Allen hoodie template to strategically place the design: the crescent moons appear on both sides of the hood, while the witch faces are centered on the front. When zipped, the faces align perfectly; when unzipped, they separate, creating an interactive element with the design. I expanded the tree from the original tapestry and embroidered it on the back for added depth. Additionally, I created a custom mold for my zipper featuring the logo “U,” tying the piece together with a unique finishing touch.
