Oh my gosh, thank you. There is a filter on this photo, but it's just colorbalancing. It's actually funny, I have a huuuuge bruise on my knee right now (that was even fresher when the picture was taken) but I'm wearing super thick dance tights. I wanted them to help keep the socks up, but they do an amazing job of making skin look even and pretty too! Makeup helps too.
As for the costume, yes!! It was the third thing I've made entirely from scratch, save the tie and the shirt. I'm really proud of it, and I'm so glad someone else likes the colors. I was surprised to see white and pastels work well with my skin, I always thought pale would wash out with white.
