Re=size the top, use to big sleeves to do the ruffle sleeves (I've seen lots of tutorials for shorter versions of this sleeve for little girls). For the collar just remove the fold over bit (sorry, no idea of the actual name), attach some lace with steam-a-seam, and throw on a bow tie. The best things about Halloween costumes-they're only gonna be worn once and you can get away with less the perfect construction.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240369197112857018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140360842272586561.post-53363938643928417512011-09-27T17:34:29.118-07:002011-09-27T17:34:29.118-07:00I love this idea!

The only reason we could pull it off was because it was a true costume party and we arrived at different times so no one would see us put our outfits together. Needless to say, we couldn't participate in the guessing, but it was fun to suprise everyone. LOL<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing what you come up with! :) I'm sure it will be great!Momma Roarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16585669348993487403noreply@blogger.com
