About the Costume: Wow! Where to start…The pattern for the top, sleeves, bow, collar, skirt – you name it – were all drafted by me. The burgundy fabric is a really nice cotton sateen I found at JoAnn, and the green was some cotton blend I found on clearance. It was the PERFECT color, so I got lucky! I sewed all of the ribbons onto the skirt by hand and used scotch tape to hold it all down while I did so. I used tape because it was easy to tear off from the skirt once done. 🙂 I used the same wig I use for my Super Sailor Neptune costume.
