A handmade, original peacock costume created for 15 month old Ava! The struggle between deciding between an owl costume or a peacock costume proceeded for weeks until the discovery of sparkly peacock feathers at a local craft store. Immediately I knew the creation of a peacock costume was in my near future. A beautiful extravagant back piece with big feathers and sparkles consumed my thoughts for days until I finally began creating it. I wanted a costume that would be comfortable enough for a one-year old but that stood out from the crowd. The costume was a total succcess as I learned on Halloween night. Fellow trick-or-treaters were in awe! Other mothers asked me lots of questions about creating it and told me how beautiful and original it was. Ava even won a “best costume award” by another mother. The compliments were amazing to hear after the work put into this costume. When the cosume was complete, I was full of doubt and frustration and wanted to give up and buy my daughter a bagged costume. I am so happy with Ava’s peacock costume and have beautiful pictures to remember the event of her second Halloween!
Are those plastic peacock feathers in front of the bigger ostrich feathers? Where did you get them?
