Brief Description:
I decided to try my hand at making my daughter's costume this year. I made a circle skirt so it was short in the front and long in the back, out of a shiny satin material. Then I attached boas around the bottom of the skirt. There is a petticoat is made from strips of tulle that I tied to a band of elastic. I used a matching blue bodysuit for her top. For the tail, I glued peacock feathers to a fan and sewed it to the back of the skirt. As a finishing touch I added a peacock headband.

Contest Photo Tips and Guidelines:
- Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your gingerbread house or holiday cookie is the star!
- Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
- Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
- For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
- With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
