For those of you who helped me figure out how to whip this costume up last week on Instagram a big fat thanks! There really is something so special to me about homemade Halloween costumes. I love their imperfections & unique charm. Now don’t get me wrong, Sam’s Dorothy dress from Target is beyond cute (tell me she isn’t a perfect little Dorothy) but there’s something about a homemade, albeit slightly wonky, Halloween costume that takes me back to my childhood.
(FULL DISCLOSURE: Dealing with that faux fur was almost the death of me!)
What are your little munchkins dressing up as this year? If you’re still trying to figure it out than take a deep breath, maybe these posts from the past give you any ideas…
Siamese Cats from Lady & the Tramp
I showed Sam this pic and she goes, “Who’s that??” Cutest little Octopus made from stuffed tights, LOVED it on her wobbly little 2 year old self!
Happy Halloween!
My daughter is also going to be Dorothy! I thought she was being unique given the approximately 9,649,856,738,648,256 Elsa/Anna/Olafs there are likely going to be this year. Except now Friday is going to be cold, so she she’s going to be one frigid little Dorothy. Love your bat who is a girl. 🙂
Oh i know right?? Blue gingham fleece perhaps?
Love your creativity and of course, the costumes. They are very blessed to have such a great mom.
Omg they are too cute! Especially when they were the Siamese cats. I love homemade costumes too! I don’t have any human kids but I have three dogs who I consider my kids and I make their costumes myself 🙂
