The pants are pinstriped and should've been hemmed and taken in, oops! Pretty much all of the suit + shoes is thrifted. The cravat is entirely the wrong century and was quickly sewn the morning of. You can't see it but the wig turned out great and has sideburns wig-taped to my face. I sewed the cape from polyester crepe, which draped very well and didn't wrinkle much! </p> <p>3-4.&nbsp; I made the pumpkin by wrapping rubber bands around a large balloon and paper-macheing for 3 days. If for any reason you need a pumpkin head, I would recommend this method; it's time consuming but I got great results!</p> <p>My Miria made her Santa costume from a pattern using velveteen and white cottony fluff. Instead of wearing tights she drew a line up the back of her legs (predating WWII rationing-chic, haha)</p> <p>5. My next costume involves sewing an 1840-ish frock coat like this fashion plate, to wear with a cravat and knee high boots. Super dapper! I'll share it when it's done, probably by summer. </p>
