purple costume done!

I finished the Rapunzel costume

for Miss C. a few days ago,

just in time for the Halloween party last night

at school.

It turned out more complex than I thought

and with a lot of details,

so it took a lot longer than planned.

I used the Simplicity pattern 2065,

I modified slightly by making short sleeves

and omitting the over shirt.

In my costume experience, the satin hold up very nicely,

even to intense daily play

but not the organza/chiffon.

This costume, I should say this gown,

 is fully lined with tulle on the petticoat.

I used some beautiful velvet for the top,

and satin for the rest of the dress.

The lining is part purple quilting cotton

 (left-over from Miss C.'s quilt backing) 

and part natural muslin, with 4 yards of tulle.

There is also a lot of lace,

eyelets and pink rattail.

As you can see on the pictures,
she loves it!
yeah for me!
She looked perfect with all the other Rapunzels!

Happy sewing!
