I’m a teacher so I always have to look for an appropriate costume for school. I decided on a Homemade Snow White Halloween Costume but didn’t want the cheap fabric of premaid costumes and I didn’t want to spend the money on a really good one. I went Value Village and bought a blue velvet top and a blue curtain. I cut the neck and glues ribbon on it.
For the sleeves I painted red teardrops on the fabric, then sewed it to the shoulders of the blue velvet shirt and basted around the bottom of the sleeves and cinched them in a bit. Because of the fabric it stayed puffy. I bought a long white petticoat at another used clothing store ($15) and some yellow broadcloth with which I sews a simple skirt.
I had a black ‘flapper’ style wig from a previous costume to which I added a red bow. I found a crystal apple hair bobble and wore it as a bracelet. Add a little bright red lipstick and it was a hit. Kids told me I could work at Disney.
