Dorothy Gale – The Wizard of Oz
Made for: Halloween 2006
Background: My family and friends wanted to do a Wizard of Oz group for Halloween since we have a cairn terrier like Toto.

Patterns Used: Simplicity 7808
Dress: This was a pretty quick costume. I used the Simplicity Wizard of Oz pattern for most of it. The fabric was all fairly cheap stuff from Hancock’s – blue and white checked cotton for the dress, white cotton for the top, with rick-rack around the neck and sleeves. Didn’t deviate from the pattern much, very straightforward.
Shoes: The shoes I bought, they’re just the commercially available costume shoes. I didn’t like how they were missing the sequins on the heels, so I added more to them.
Accessories: I made the hair bow out of sequin dot fabric, and the basket (and fake Toto) I bought on ebay.
History: I’ve never worn this again and really need to one day!
