Any Ideas For This Costume???

Here's my dilemna: Halloween has just come and gone, but I have to
start planning for a New Year's Eve party now. This is actually a
huge, several thousand people event, not that it's that important. I
was thinking of going as a sexy, ethereal angel, and I want to use
lingerie pieces (but not actually be in my underwear all night). A
fly–away babydoll made out of some white mesh–y material, but with
solid white bra cups (preferably with some white and/or translucent
beading on the cups is what I am picturing as the main costume, but
with matching hot pants or boy short–type panties.
The problem is that I don't know where to find anything close to
this. I checked Victoria's Secret, and they don't have anything, and
neither did Frederick's (although their marabou babydoll in white is
very close to what I want, just no marabou on the cups, but beading
instead). Does anybody out there know where I can find this heavenly
item I'm looking for? Any other suggestions for my costume are also
welcome, including hair and makeup (I have VERY dark golden–blonde
hair, fair skin and blue eyes). Any ideas for shoes that would look
nice and that I can dance in all night (literally) comfortably also
much welcome. I'm figuring I will make the wings, unless someone knows
where I can buy them, or even how to make them (I would love to have
the VS angel wings, but I don't know where you get those).
Much thanks in advance,
Mouse

Can't help you w/ the hair and makeup (other than to just try and
duplicate what they do in the VS catalog) but try ebay for any parts
of your costume. Just search "angel wings" or "white babydoll", etc.
If you're an ebay novice, you will soon realize that you can search
for virtually anything and everything and usually get at least a few
results.
There are also many online costume/lingerie sites that have this sort
of stuff, including shoes. Use a search engine for "sexy costumes"
and you should get some sites. Here's one to start with (no
affiliation) – www.lollipoplingerie.com
I have a pair of the white feather wings that I bought at an art show.
They're beautiful! However after I bought them I saw a ton for sale
on ebay for less than what I spent ($45).
If I make it back to Fantasy Fest in Key West next year I would like
to do a similar costume but in black with furry/feathery bat wings.
I've seen a lot of women dressed in these type of outfits and they
always look beautiful IMO.
