E has been wanting to be Alice in Wonderland for some time now.. I went to the store and found this cheap costume for $20-$25! I was mortified at the cost of Halloween costumes! The fabric alone probably cost the manufacturer 30 cents! So I decided to try my hand at sewing my own. I usually go buy a pattern, but I was too cheap to do it, so I reference this book that I have...
Anyway.. referenced the book and make E's costume from scratch! I should have taken pictures of the process, but I was too lazy. Next time. :)
Though it's unironed, I think it turned out pretty good! Eddie thinks it looks like a waitress uniform though.. boo Eddie. I'm thinking of selling the pattern for some money. hahha.

The cutie in just the dress.. I'll take a picture with her full costume once it's ironed. :)
I'm popping over from the Made blog because I absolutely loved how your Alice and the Mad Hatter costume turned out. Your kids are the cutest and their costumes were amazing! Great job. :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was set on being Alice this year too. She insisted I dress up my one year old as the White Rabbit. I'm not going to lie . . . it was ADORABLE. Great job on the dress. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll say it again..you're amazing! Your kids are so lucky! I wish I knew how to sew..
ReplyDeleteWhere is the best place to buy kids costumes-even kids Halloween costumes-this time of year? The best place to buy kids costumes of any variety...whether Halloween or even a cute seasonal costume for your child's school Christmas or "winter" performance is online, not your local department, drug, or super store, and most certainly not the mall. The same goes for buying adult costumes as well. You just can't beat the convenience and selections of online costume providers.
