Wee one had a kiddie Halloween party to go to this weekend, so I put her brothers' costumes aside for a night and put hers together for its debut.

My big, fluffy pumpkin girl! After seeing a similar costume for sale on etsy.com, I was inspired to make her a pumpkin tutu. I practiced by making her a little pink play tutu last month. Since she seemed to enjoy that one, I went ahead and cut longer tulle strips in pumpkin-y colors for the real deal. I tied on all the long orange pieces, added a few short green bits at the front for the stem and she wore it like a genuine Halloween fairy! I was worried that the tickly tulle or the sheer girth of the costume might bother her, but after walking around with her arms straight out at her sides for about three minutes, she got over it and had no problem walking and crawling and climbing around in it.

Here she is showing us the back with the long green "stem" that ties into a bow at the neck. I was trying to snap some pictures and she kept turning around and squatting down to get herself some more popcorn from our plate on the floor. Just showing off her costume at the best angle, I'm sure! She spent the rest of the party climbing up onto chairs and sliding down out of them on her slippery tulle bottom. Silly girl!
