My niece is not the kind of kid who is happy with being a simple princess or Hannah Montana look-a-like. No, she was set on a Cruella De Ville costume. We looked and looked for a costume and they just don’t exist for children and she was too small to make an adult costume smaller for her (She is only 4).
So I went out and found a dress pattern and all the accessories. I found Dalmatian material and crushed velvet material. My mother cut the pattern in half and made two sides and sewed them together. We the added a red feather boa around the bottom hem and the arm holes. She also made her a puppy print purse with a drawstring that she could use as a treat bag. We also bought her a feather boa that had lights on it.
She has been in 3 local costume contests in her hometown and has won 1st place in all three. The big contest is coming up Halloween night.
She is too cute. my stepdaughter who is 21 has been trying to come up with a costume so she just found her costume. Tell miss cutie pie thanks for a great idea!
An amazing costume! I wish she had come to my door Halloween night. I was in a Cruella costume too. It would have been great to have our pictures taken together. :) Did she win the contest on Halloween night?
Thanks! I have been searching on line for a costume like this for my Granddaughter who is only 2. I will head to Joannes tonight and start sewing. Her baby sister is going to be a dalmatian. :)
