Next Years Costumes are Going to be Store Bought All The Way!

Warning:
Boatload of pictures to follow and they're not even in any particular order.
You've been warned.

My friend Salli and I ended up going with the same theme this year, she made her sons costumes, I made my daughters costumes. I think the number of pictures I've put here is a testament to the amount of time I spent working on them. I do not expect anyone to make it through this whole thing.

Sallis son Dorian as the perfect, cutest, little Mad Hatter.

Adelaide as the Cheshire Raccoon Cat.

LaRue as Alice, enjoying some tea.

Tillie was the Queen of Hearts.

Adelaide was NOT into wearing her costume and she was NOT into holding still for picture taking, which is actually probably for the best, her costume was my least favorite of the three. She was adorable of course, although her whiskers are pretty sad because of the fight she put up when I tried to draw them on her face. Oh well.

And what is that I glimpse?
A cute little White Rabbit.

A little Flamingo/Hedgie croquet, minus one hedgie and substituting with a rock.
Oh, how I wish I had trimmed LaRues underskirt, I meant to, but completely forgot until I had her back in it the day of.

Gangs all here!

I just love this picture of Sallis boys.

So here's where I brag a little bit and say that I made all of the girls costumes without any patterns really. I did use the top of a dress pattern for the tops of both dresses, but other than that all I used were my mad skillz.
But drat that underskirt.

Sweet, sweet Ruesie.

Love it.Salli is crazy talented yall, she just finished being the head costumeress (real word) for our Stakes production of Hello Dolly!
Crazy talented.

Tillie was so adorable as the Queen of Hearts I can't even stand it.
She got to wear a bit o lipstick and she thought she was the bees knees.

I hope everyone had a good and safe Halloween!
