So i did it-never thought i would but i made my daughter her first Halloween costume ever! The most fluffy,puffy,twirly Cinderella dress ever, (i probably bought Joann's out of light blue tulle) I'm guessing i used 20 yards but it was SO worth it!!
For the top i made my own simple pattern-pieced and sewed it together, the skirt i used THIS amazing tutorial!
My daughter asks me to wear this dress daily....so much i had to hide it at least until Halloween gets a little closer,i don't want it to get old ;)
It's done! And it actually turned out pretty nice!
Naturally, after finishing, i had to do a little photo shoot, and the little 'princess' was more than willing! (i'll spare you all the pictures we took and just show you a couple)
I did get her a crown that actually matched the dress perfectly but it went missing-i was pretty bummed :( So instead i got to make her a cute headband instead, thankfully she still calls it her "crown"
The little munchkin couldn't love it more, if she could she would wear it all day everyday!
So what are you kids going to be for Halloween?
Soooo beautiful!

So stinkin' cute! Look at all those ruffles! She will definitely want to wear that every day. It looks fantastic! I'm so impressed with your sewing skills. I'm ashamed to say, I bought my kids outfits this year! Little girl is going to be Ariel, other little girl wants to be a tiger (I know, wha...?) and little boy is going to be Bumblebee from Transformers (not to be confused with the insect). ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute dress! Did you make that? You are very talented with sewing to be able to do all those ruffles! Stopping by from the blog hop (although late) and following you thru GFC. I would love a follow back when you get the chance. Thanks so much for your help and have a great week!

Seriously? That is amazing!! <3 IT!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you make the top or did you take that off another dress? Was it hard? I'm super dumb when it comes to sewing.. but I try.
ReplyDeleteI made the top,for me it was kind of hard but just because i was still new to sewing.
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable but it looks like the link to the skirt tutorial no longer works- bummer! Do you know of another tutorial that would work? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy little girl would love to twirl in this dress! Do you have another link for the dress tutorial the link above isn't working anymore. :(
ReplyDeleteWhat is this type of tulle dress called? I can't figure out how to make it and I am very interested in making it. Thank you
