For the body of the witch, I used a lid from a tote box and covered the edges with foam pipe covers. I used a styrofoam ball to hold the mask and used a paint stick to hold it in place which I glued to the lid. I put a black robe over it and cut a hole mid way up the front so I could put my legs through.
I cut a plastic flower pot in half and painted it black to look like Dorothy is in a pot. I found the perfect fabric and pieced together to make a Dorothy costume. I filled a pair of little girls’ tights and glued a pair of red shoes to it and attached it to the pot to look like Dorothy’s legs are hanging over it. I strapped the pot to my waist and voila.
For this Witch and Dorothy Illusion Costume I won ‘most original costume’ at work, everyone loved it.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. My favorite movie has always been the Wizard of OZ and my favorite charachter has always been the wicked witch. so I wanted the witch to catch Dorothy and melt her. I loved it.
