I am not entirely sure that this outfit will last another 35 days until it makes a first runway trip up the steps of a ghoulish front porch.

But I think Prince Charming will not mind the early debut.  And I don’t believe that I’ll be able to pry it offer her tiny body between now and then.

This year was a lot easier than last year’s outfit. Oh goodness, the slippery green, seven-skirt-extravaganza…And those wings with the invisible thread. Who sews with invisible thread? It should be called impossible-frustration-thread…in color: clear maddness.

This year, Cinderelli is ready to hit the trick-or-treat road. Or, just hang out with halmony and halaboji and pass out candy, and cavities, to other little neighborhood children.  Now, off to work on that none-other-than-Speed-Racer costume. Denim. In white. With appliqué. I’ve never worked with denim before. This should be interesting.

Note: This is Simplicity pattern 2817; size HH in size 3. Little Miss is just that, little. I took off 3″ on either side of the rear zipper seam, evenly split between both sides. And we made a generous 4″ hem, clipping off 3″ additional inches because we are short. I added four tulle underskirts, basting them around all edges and attaching the bundle to the outer skirt before sewing the gathering stitches. And finally, I added a few pale blue plastic crystals (on ribbon tape) to the bodice above the crazy organza puffs.

P/S, Using sparkly fabric through-out delights those who are two years old and still want to wear light-catching gear.
