We love Elvis so it was only natural to dress our son up like this when he was a baby.
Items Used: White Jumpsuit, Gold and White Shiny Fabric, Gold Squeeze Paint, Velcro, White Sneakers, Aviator Sunglasses.
I just ripped the hems out of the legs and arms and inserted triangle shaped pieces of gold fabric. Then I cut a cape shape out of the gold and white fabric and sewed it together almost like a pillow case with the gold on the inside and the white on the back (I don’t sew often and had no idea what I was doing but it worked). I then attached it to the jumpsuit with Velcro across the shoulders so that it could easily be taken off.
With the left over gold fabric I made a belt and made it connect with another piece of Velcro. After it was assembled I made little gold dots all over the jumpsuit, cape and tennis shoes to resemble sequins.
That is about it. The homemade baby Elvis costume was a great hit!!!
this is awesome, i want to do it quick. where did you find the white jump suit!! Thank you for the wonderful idea
