The tu-tu is homemade as well from a quick … Read more

My friend and I decided in high school we wanted a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Couple Costume, since we had grown up with their movies.

We hand stitched some felt-like fabric to create the leggings and mittens/arms and fabric glued the seams. The tummies are hand painted using fabric paint. Was a lot of fun :)

The night before our friends’ Halloween party in Cincinnati, we were faced with the expectation of surpassing our previous year’s Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein costumes. I’d always wanted to use another holiday (particularly Christmas) as inspiration, and this was my favorite TV special. It’s pretty clear from the photo that I spent more time … Read more
