The littlest sister at our house was very clear that she wanted to be the BIG sister from Frozen this Halloween.
We drafted the pattern using a well fitting long sleeved T-shirt and a well fitting fairy dress.
Aria also helped to draft the pattern.
We had a stretchy sparkly knit and a stretchy sheer fabric to marry together. I had to consult both my Home Ec teacher mother and my Costume Designer sister to make this work. A light weight knit sewing machine needle and a wash away sticky seam tape were essential!
Invisible, washable, dryer friendly, snaps made the cape detachable for car rides and washing. (Did I mention the cape fabric is dry clean only? Why? I can't defend that decision--it was otherwise perfect and I just wanted to leave the fabric store.)
| Ta-da! All done. Ideally I would have added some elastic to the waist (t is a little big), but Halloween can't be postponed for costume alterations. |
