Snow White Costume

Snow White Costume

My youngest daughter was wearing her big sisters Snow White 

costume the other day. When I walked into her room I found her crying.

She had taken off the costume and I was not sure why she was upset.

She said "I am never wearing that dress again!" 

When I asked why she replied "because it falls off my shoulders"

I knew it was too big for her but didn't realise it was that big a deal.

I told her that I would make her a new Snow White costume, one that fits :)

I used the original dress as inspiration along with this tutorial. 

Original Dress

I also used the basic peasant top pattern from this book as a basis for the dress.

From memory the patterns in this book run a little small so I opted for a size 5.

After sewing it up it was obviously too big around the waist so 

I just sewed a little elastic along the waist seam to bring it in a little. 

It just means my girl will get plenty of wear before I need to make a bigger one.

Before I had even finished the dress my girls had grabbed an apple 

and were ready for a photo shoot. I guess I have trained them well ;)

My kids have now put in their order for a Belle dress and an Aurora Dress!

At least I know it has been a success :)
