Emerald City Costume Vlog Part 5: The Frock Coat Disaster

Welcome back to part 5 of my Emerald City costume series! Today, I’m tackling my husband’s Wizard of Oz inspired frock coat, and let’s just say… things got absolutely HORRENDIBLE. It was one of those days where things just didn't go to plan... and to be honest it takes a lot of confidence to admit you made an error on camera, but this is an honest look behind the scenes at what goes in to creating a big costuming project. 💚 There is a fine line between a costuming masterpiece and a total disaster, and I managed to cross it. Watch me panic, question all my life choices, and then figure out how to rescue this green monstrosity before it's too late. Does it turn out alright in the end? You'll have to watch to find out! If you're enjoying this dramatic Oz costuming journey, make sure to hit SUBSCRIBE and give this video a thumbs up to support my sanity!
