Patterns Used:
McCalls 3008

Dress:

I made the dress out of blue satin, using a pattern, altered for the puff sleeves and the slits up the sides. I probably used my ice skating dress pattern as a basis for the puff sleeves. I used yellow ribbon for all the trim and appliques – I wish I’d used something else now (and different fabric, too), but ah well. Live and learn.

Hairbuns:

For the hairbuns, I bought some online, took them apart, and used them as patterns to make my own, using white satin and yellow ribbon.

Wristbands:

The wristbands I made of foam, covered in black stretch fabric, with icing tips glued on. The glue around the icing tips wasn’t pretty but I wasn’t sure how else to do it at the time.

Accessories:

My waistband was made of white stretch knit material. The boots I had bought for Ocha the year before, and while they may not be accurate, they’re the main reason I did this costume, so I could reuse them!

History:

My wristbands have since fallen apart, but this was a fun little costume to wear. It’s since moved onto a new home since I had no plans to wear it again.
