Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Not the movie character silly. The bird!

This will be my first time in two years that I'll be wearing a costume.
I've decided to put pieces together to "make my own" costume.
I'm turning to you guys for ideas, as you people LOVE Halloween and probably know a lot about costumes.

I've got a cape which I will be cutting holes into to fit the wings in, and metallic claws for talons but I'm stuck now.
I refuse to show much skin. (Unlike most people my age. They make me sad.)

I do have a back up plan if I can't figure out what to do for the outfit part.
(Gothic Lolita inspired, but I'd rather not take that turn as I wear it as a fashion as it IS a fashion.)

Ideas guys?
Anybody else making their own costume and running into the same problem of no ideas?

Well obviously you should wear all black underneath you cape thing, and you should wear a black cap with feathers on it.

I was actually out earlier today trying to find a black feather mask.
Alas, they're all green tinted for some reason.

You should put feathers in your hair too! That would be awesome haha but ya like Halloween_crazyy said, just wear all black underneath and that would look great!

I'm picking up a big bag of feathers to put on my skin, so I'll probably get some long feathers for my hair. (Lol. I need to wake up eaaaaaaarly.)

That's going around my neck. I got a nice soft one so I won't run into the itchy.

Would spirit gum work with attaching feathers to skin?
I've been told that would be an easy way to do it if I work fast.
