Yeah, I know. But I have to start thinking about it now, otherwise it won't come to fruition in a reasonable time table.
Last year we I made Maria a Max costume from Where the Wild Things are. This year, she's going to be Alice (from Wonderland :) ). Dh is going as the Mad Hatter, and I'll be the Queen of Hearts if funds aren't an issue---since my costume would be the most involved. Now you see why I'm thinking about it in August? LOL Oh, and I'm going to make a Flamingo for me to parade around with! LOL
Anywhoo,
For Alice, I'm thinking I could re-work the Jumprope dress (View A)----Minor changes to the sleeves (Full poofed Sleeves), and make a fuller skirt. I'm thinking I could put a zipper in the back, and leave out the placket.
Is there another pattern that would be easier? Or is the Jump Rope the way to go?
Now if I could just find a quick tutorial for the kind of Pinafore I want to use, I'd be one happy Mama!
