A little Halloween magic early this year. 
This is a costume I made about 8 years ago for my oldest . She was 10 months old when she wore this. I had to put the hat on her every day for about 10 minutes building to 30 minutes as it grew in weight so she would be use to the fringe and not pull at it. The grayish/silver beads on the hat are hemmite very heavy.
But she got use to it before Halloween and never pulled at it once. The dress I had no pattern for so I just made one up. She also wore fishnet stockings that I cut down and re-sewed to fit her. She won first prize at the local mall contest for kids (over 300 entries). The hat is made from a bridal hat that I dyed black and then did the hand bead work on top of that.
On the back of the hat it has feathers and green beads . Around the brim of the hat is a beaded fringe that drapes around her face to frame it also made it look like she had hair instead of a little bald headed baby.
Loved all the new things you were showing us, that outfit you made for your
ReplyDeletedaughter when she was a CUTE baby, deserved to win first prize. Can't believe
she would keep the hat on.
