Strawberry Shortcake Halloween Costume
My daughter was set on Strawberry Shortcake as her Halloween costume for about the past month or so. I figured it would be pretty simple to make it, so of course I did. I took a white shirt and made it into a dress by adding an attached skirt. I started by using a blog about making a t-shirt twirly dress, but once I cut the fabric I realized the blog didn't explain how to fold the fabric very well. Luckily, even after cutting the fabric I still had enough to use. I ended up using a simplicity dress pattern I already had. It is one that you make the top and skirt out of different fabric. So it was easy to manipulate the pattern to what I needed. I used only the skirt pattern pieces and just extended the length of the skirt to the total length I wanted the added part to be plus an inch for the hem. I made the green diamonds and strawberry out of felt and hand stitched it on. I figured I could easy remove these later and she can wear this dress as a normal dress incase she doesn't want to keep it for dress up. The hat I had another simplicity pattern for. The leggings I bought at Toys R Us.
This one shows a little bit better view of the hat.
