The outfit came out a little more "Gothic Lolita" than I anticipated, but I'm okay with that. ("Gothic Lolita" is a style affected by some Japanese young women, or fans of anime/manga. It's essentially black and white, some frills, usually a shortish skirt. My look is less revealing than some....)
You can see the spiderweb lace, that's what inspired the whole thing.
A better photo of the overall outfit. I like that it's fairly simply but still Halloweeny.
The trickiest part was getting the spiders into my hair. I finally added a couple hairpins holding the legs in addition to having them wired onto side combs. They're a little heavy.
I also took the extra two spiders and sewed one onto the little bag I carry my keys and thumb drive (and today, a lipstick - I decided to wear lipstick today) in. And I sewed one close to the hem of the skirt:
Now I'm glad I did this. I was a little "meh" about the idea yesterday (but then I was kind of "meh" about everything yesterday) but now I'm glad I made the effort.

Hawtness unlocked.
I was thinking more "Pre-Raphaelite" myself.
Looks great!
