I made my daughter's Alice in Wonderland costume for Halloween this year. One of the best things about it, besides that she is so adorable, is that I used my stash for most of it. 7 1/2 yards of fabric, the gold buttons, the ribbon in her hair, all from my stash! The pattern, Simplicity 2325 was purchased on a great sale and so were the trims. We purchased the white rabbit online to complete the look.

Sewmom, you have a beautiful daughter wearing a beautiful dress! You did an amazing job! I'll have to save this post to show my husband the next time he side eyes my stash. I love the lace gloves too, but the dress...oh the dress! I wish girls wore dresses like that now. Well done, sewmom!

Thank you. Tell your husband I said you can keep your stash.

I will! :)

Oh, great costume and a darling young lady wearing it. I didn't realize that I might be making costumes for years to come for my 3 1/2 yr. old granddaughter until I read your notes. I made her a Minnie Mouse costume and two weeks ago I dressed her in a white princess costume. Now that she has seen Beauty and the Beast she asked me if I would make her a yellow princess dress. You are lucky to have daughters!

Princess costumes are the best! My daughter twirled as soon as she put this on. I hope you have fun for many years.

FANTASTIC SEWMON - I love the colour and the pattern. I too love little girl dresses and wished more girls would wear them. Beautiful looking young girl too. Congratulations on such a wonderful sewing job. Love Chris

Thank you. I did enjoy it, a lot. I was back in my seamstress element. I've been doing so much embroidery lately that I almost forgot my roots.

Fantastic costume. She is so adorable in her alice dress. Have a safe and happy Halloween/

A most excellent costume, as well as a lovely young lady to wear it. I love the white rabbit's costume too.

The white rabbit came already in costume : )

Ooh - that is really beautiful! Only "bad" thing that the dress is for
Halloween only :-(( Shouldn't beautiful girls wear such romantic
dresses instead of jeans more often?

Well done both (costume and use-what-you-have). She looks so happy and I'm sure she will have a lot of fun in this dress :o)

She's at school so I can't wait to see pictures with her friends. One of them is the Chesire Cat.

by sewdeb 31 Oct 2013

Oh, cool! I hope you'll share the pictures.

by sewmom 02 Nov 2013

I'm sorry, I can't share pictures of the other girls without permission. But I will say that one girl was the Cheshire Cat and she sewed her own costume from a footie pajama pattern.

She looks adorable and what a great way to use up stuff from your stash.
Hugs Jerri
