Peter Pan and Tiger Lily Costume

We love all things Disney, and we especially love Peter Pan- so when we decided to host a Halloween party, this was the obvious choice! This particular pair of costumes was entirely hand-made by me, with the exception of our shoes, the belt/sword, and my husbands shorts, which were a green pair of dress slacks from Goodwill that I cut.

My dress was made from a cheap, faux-rawhide material and I used pink, red and white matte ribbon for the neckline. I found that bright blue elastic for the headpiece and sewed a white feather I dipped in red paint to the back.

My husband's tunic and hat were without a doubt the most challenging and time-consuming pieces to make. I used 3 different shades of green of a similar fabric throughout the two pieces, and began by sewing each leaf individually and detailing them with a black fabric marker to give them a cartoon-y look. I then assembled the collar piece/neckline, the torso, and all of the leaves together into one piece. The base of the hat was a cheap, plastic Robin Hood hat I sewed/glued fabric onto.

My only regret was not taking photos with a more character-appropriate backdrop! Haha!
