So here’s what I’m working with. The nightie is made by Vanity Fair out of something called Snugallure. ”Silky on the outside warm on the inside.” It was brand new with the tags on and so I felt vaguely bad about not using it for its intended purpose. It boasts DuPont’s anti-static Antron III after all.
Chase is thrilled to wear it with no modifications at all so I hope she’s excited to see it all princessed up. The color is pretty spot on Cinderella. So far, I’ve added a few rows of shirring to create a waist and to poof up the arms and I’ve taken it in at the shoulder seams. Oh, and lopped 8″ off at the bottom.
I’m excited to get through ‘phase I’ and to move into ‘phase II’ the underskirt. I’m so glad that I decided to go this route I’m having so much fun. I loved hearing about all of your plans too!
I kinda maybe need to think about a costume for myself if I don’t burn out on this one. Thoughts?
we could use a Professor McGonagall over here…
I’ve tried for the past 2 years to get my son to be a doctor, so I could cut down an old pair of my scrubs and wire my stethoscope around his neck so he wouldn’t lose it. But he insisted on being Superman last year and Darth Vader this year. He got a talking mask for his bday, so I bought him black sweatpants and black snowboots. He already has a black shirt and black gloves. Just need a cape. I think my mom is going to grab some fleece or something at Joanne’s to make him one.
Maureen is going as a princess, my mom bought her the costume a couple of months ago, and my contribution was a pair of sparkly red shoes to go with it. The best thing about it is that it looks like a little girls costume and not like a slutty princess.
As for me, I’m lazy and I’m the same thing every year. I dress in black, wear cat ears and draw whiskers on my face. It freaks my cat out.
Score! I can’t wait to see more pictures.
You should poof up your hair and go as the bride of frankenstein!
