Sew your own Halloween Costume this year at TFC!
Late Fall is always my favorite time of year, not only are the fashion choices fabulous but you have ample opportunities to dress up in costume! What better way to celebrate Halloween than by creating and sewing your very own Halloween ensemble. At The Fashion Class we host an annual Halloween making workshop in our Midtown Manhattan and Merrick Long Island studios. Children and teens ages 6-13 can choose from one of three fabulous designs.
This year we will be offering:
Rad Robot: This fabulous metallic silver dress features high shoulders and a light up panel board! Accessories include pink metallic wrist and leg bands and hair ties.
Chic Cleopatra: Be Queen of the Nile this Halloween in a shimmering gold tunic dress complete with sequin neckline, head piece, sash and wrist covers.
