Interview With the Vampiress
Rebecca looks as though she may have stepped out of a film in this detailed dress. This dress, reminiscent of the movie Interview with a Vampire, is transformed into a scary vampiress costume with the addition of theatrical contact lenses and vampire's fangs. Rebecca began sewing when she was a mere 9 years old, but even for the accomplished seamstress this dress took many long hours to complete. She constructed the dress of green paisley fabric, a green satin underskirt and a gold satin top and says that sewing it took around 15 hours from start to finish.
