My niece Olivia wanted me to make her Halloween costume this year. I was honored. So, the day of the project there was not a fabric store in sight or at least not close enough. What to do? My sister Cookie had the idea of finding a shower curtain for the skirt and top. We decided on an inexpensive gold curtain for the skirt, some gold ribbon for trim, a curtain valance for the cape that was on sale...after 75% off, it was 25¢. We raided her moms closet and found a perfect top and necklace. We purchased long white gloves and embellished them with some fake fur and some bling. We purchased a gold crown & embellished that too with some rhinestones. I made the horns out of white cardboard.
We didn't feel like bringing the sewing machine out so we glue gunned and safety pinned everything! Olivia added her own touches with some glitter glue. We glued some feathers to a fabric rose that we ripped off of a cosmetic bag and pinned that to the back of the cape. Sorry these pictures aren't the greatest....but you get the idea. Olivia is excited to go trick or treating.
