All material combinations must be approved before you have a costume made. Follow these easy steps for approval:

1. Collect the various materials

   1. Jacket silk – handmade Dupioni only can be found HERE.

   2. Jacket liner – cotton recommended in a bold, fun pattern

   3. Jacket trim

   4. Corset lace

   5. Skirt material

2. Put your materials together all in one picture like the sample HERE

3. Text to picture to 813 482 2584 or email to 2010KQAR@gmail.com.

4. Give a couple days for approval!! While we all know Jolie is a mastermind and has the ability to remember practically every single costume, the girl needs to sometimes refer to her master binder!!

Once you have approval make sure you communicate with Lora when you can drop it all off.

For ease of reference (cause we get asked a lot too) a cheat sheet for generally how much of each material is needed is below.

First of all – shame on you!

Secondly – OK, you are forgiven, this time. We gave you a LOT of information that night and we get it – you were excited. SO ARE WE! We want your first year of being a member of this amazing Krewe to set the bar for all future years.

Make sure you refer to your New Annie packet and any notes you wrote on it. Still worried you are missing something?
