About 6 weeks ago, Elayna decided she wanted to be Princess Jasmine for Halloween. And I – for some unknown reason – decided against buying the cheap costume and instead consumed $$, time, and sanity crafting the outfit myself.
In all probability, this project should have ended badly. The pattern was the hardest I’ve ever attempted and there were a million little pieces, ric-rac, bangles, and seams. On top of this, Elayna declared the costume too ‘itchy’ every time we tried it on and frequently told people she was going to be Princess Ariel instead. I was sure we were doomed.
However, by sunset last night, our little trick-or-treater was practically levitating and eager to hit the streets. She happily decided the costume wasn’t itchy after all and loved all the attention she got as a cute little belly dancer. And I LOVED that the costume actually fit her so well and that she had so much fun!
Happy Halloween!!
