    MacBeth (Halloween custome!)

    A slightly different take to Panache's costume....



    and a very un-MacBeth-like pose to show off the rest of the costume!



    It never cost a lot at all. I was sent 1 yard less tartan than I ordered so I did my best to make-do! The swords cost me £1 each and the shield was made by my girlfriend's grampa a while back. The G stands for....... Duncan!

    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    I bet your accent was a heck of a lot better than mine!

    You look like you are having fun and I hope you had a Happy Halloween (we Macbeths have to stick together after all )

    Cheers

    Great job!
    Sadly not.
    I managed 3 large pleats at the back with 3.5yards of tartan... wasnt too bad! I fixed the way my belt was pulling on the material after the pics. For some reason it was folding the tartan up on the left leg!
