Congratulations to the winners of this year’s Threads Halloween Costume Contest. There were so many amazing costumes this year in the costume gallery that it was difficult for Threads editors to pick just three winners. Each winner will receive a Threads prize package including a 2010 Threads Archive DVD (all 152 issues of Threads on a single disc) and the Couture Techniques DVD from Claire Shaeffer. Congratulations again to the lucky winners.

A budding designer transforms a tailored blazer into a statement piece by extending the collar and lapels. She details the process, so you can try it, too.
Those are all very creative and well done. Congratulations everyone!
