Thanks everybody she wants so bad to play in it but with it being white I have to tell her no wait until halloween they you can live in it all you want after that. Plus at the same time I'm sewing my niece a bunny costume everytime she trys it on she hops all over the house!

Haha, if I saw someone come to my door in that, and learned that the costume was home made, I'd give them all my candy

Good work! Hopefully this is something you and your child will remember for many years to come!

That looks awesome! My mom used to make all my costumes. I was a dalmation, a bat, a princess, a kitty, and a ton of other things! I loved those home made costumes! That mask looks very comfortable to wear!

WOW you are one COOL mom! I can't wait to see the whole costume on. Who's going to be goldilocks?!

That's my kinda costume! Awesome job! If I were your kid I'd be wearing it around all year long.

Awesome!!!!! I, too, am always thrilled to see homemade costumes (especially truly fantastic ones like yours!). It's so sad to see all the store-bought ones, just afterthoughts, a way to get the big bag o' loot, really. When we were kids we ALWAYS made our own, inventive costumes. When Olivia was little I made hers..... some were MAJOR productions and investments of time & money; I am so glad she's at the age now where she wants to make her own! Now I only have to help with the difficult parts, she does all the planning and designing.

Here's her Egyptian Queen costume from last year (she was in an Egypt phase!) - we made the snake headdress and collar and used old costume parts for the rest, she made herself a scroll with real hieroglyphs on it!

This year she is going to be a sorceress and has been planning and drawing the costume since July. We'll start sewing this weekend!

Very very impressive, I want to ask how much those teeth cost but know thats inappropriate, so I wont.

The jaw set and tongue set was $28 not to bad in my book.
Here they are completed I still need to hem sierra's suit will do that tomorrow.

This is my niece and her bunny suit I made for her. She loves it and was hopping around the house in it tonight!

Still fantastic all put together Poison Ivy.
Sea Chick, your DD's and you'rs are good too. I did a Viking one year, but I have a real battle axe...
DS one year was a shark. I bought a blue sweatsuit, painted his face blue, bought a foam shark hat and he held a huge blue squeaky Mako shark...
