Went all out for the girls halloween costumes again this year. I was originally going to have them be a butterfly and a caterpillar but I couldn’t figure out how to do the caterpillar. Then I stumbled across this Little Bo Peep dress on Etsy and fell in love. It was selling for 300 so that was out of the question but after seeing it no other dress would do, so I did what I do best with my champagne taste on a beer budget and made my own.
I have to give my mom all the credit for sewing it together because that is not my strong thing but we spent so much time just getting the perfect fabric and embellishment's until it looked very similar to the original. The hat was the hardest because I couldn’t find one anywhere but on the day before halloween we made a floppy bonnet and put it over an old easter hat and I think it turned out really good!
The dress we copied……..
And our finished project…….
I forgot to mention we also had a disaster when it came to the shepards hook. I had ordered it on ebay about a month before we needed it and as it kept getting closer to halloween I got worried it wasnt going to show. Sure enough when I checked the sellers page it looked like they had skipped off with the money and closed down shop. I now had 2 days to get a new hook or else we would no have a very good little bo peep. Thank you 2 day air shipping from a costume store, you saved the day.
