...and you know that the costume game in this film was 💯. #allthesequinsintheworld

I was obsessed with most of the wardrobe in this movie - hello 90s. That jacket on the left...

The outfit I chose to remake was neither of the above though. I went for a little more gold. I mean it is Oscar Sunday!

I started with a base of a long-sleeved bodysuit from Boohoo and a matching skater skirt from there too, together costing less than $20!

That mock turtleneck collar is SO perfect for this!

This is also so cute as is, if you add a fun long necklace to pair! However, we're going to make a few changes...

I hopped over to Joann, got my materials and ALL the sequined fabric I could, and then got to crafting!

Supplies

First off, I trimmed and affixed some golden diamond-shaped sequined fabric pieces with E6000 fabric glue

Can't have short sleeves without some fringe, amirite?

More sequins were added and then it was time to sew the fringe in place!

We're getting SO close!!! I couldn't not add rhinestones either once I got started...

What's an ice skating costume without some skates?? (PS, those skates look real, right? They're printed and backed with some cardboard! That's also why there are two right feet 😂

I'm really trying to encapsulate the brooding Margot Robbie asTonya Harding vibe here.

That's a tough cookie right there!
