wing man


(his shirt says "Red Sox" in Japanese - Dice-K is pitching tonight!)

He loves the bat wings! Now to sew them into the jumpsuit. And get started on that shark...

Do the wings attach to the jumpsuit like that? What happens if his arms get tired & he has to lower them? My younger grandson has decided he wants to be a dragon for Halloween which means he wants me to add wings to the dinosaur costume his brother wore last year - I'm thinking that general shape but trying to figure out how (& where) to attach them to the costume.

Awesome!

Do they attache like that? Seems that the part that is now attached to the sleeve might be better attached to the body and the other straight part would be attached to the arms.

The wings are sewn into the sleeve seams. He can put his arms down and then they hang sort of behind him. It still looks really cool. I'll take a picture of that once I get them sewn into the jumpsuit.

Luckily, though, B loves to hold out his arms. He seems to pick his costumes based on how much he can lift his arms up! That was what last year's ghost costume was all about!

Those look really cool! He looks ready to fly all over town in those.
