| This was actually my real-life dress from my 8th grade prom! And it is one of my first memories of the realization that my mother was so super-skilled and could alter clothing: It was a strapless dress. She added the straps and the lacy sleeves. She was amazing! I gained my love of creating and sewing from her no doubt! And then my daughter wears the dress and some 80s accessories with a Prom crown! |
 |
| I had inherited a Karate costume (it was white) from someone. My kids wear it all the time for dress-up but we wanted to go a little more exciting for Halloween for my boys. So I took a pattern from it. I had this really cool fabric with symbols all-over it and through the magic of the creative process, this Karate Kid outfit was born! |
 |
| And his brother got a matching smaller version, but sleeveless. |
 |
| Then of course, the Ninja! (That goes with Karate Kid right?) This one was very cool but difficult to make. I wanted it to have no visible opening but still be one-piece! So it unzips at the back of the neck, down to the waist. Tricky, but worth it! |
 |
| This one was very original indeed. But my favorite touch was the mustache - his idea! |
 |
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!
He loves Mickey Mouse like nothing I have ever seen! So of course he loved to BE Mickey!
|
 |
| At our church Halloween party, he found Minnie Mouse (she was a little older, but she could not resist him)! And there is Minnie's Prom Queen friend... |
 |
We attended several parties that year and switched out costumes for some older stand-bys...Winnie The Pooh and a Superhero/ Scooby Doo...?
Halloween is so much fun ~ what costumes do your kids love the most?
