Homemade Witch
Costumes A Groovy Witch I sewed the corset on my sewing
machine, and I also hand sewn several details on it as well.
I did not use a pattern. I am not sure how much detail you
would like, so here goes!
I measured my daughters
size around her ribs were I wanted the top of it to fit her.
I then cut a rectangle an inch longer and wider than my measurements
for her. I hemmed the edges on all sides. I then
cut three strips of fabric in different widths for the ruffles (2in,
4in, 6in)-and double the length. I then sewed each
ruffle on by gathering the fabric like an accordion. I
started with the shortest and repeated until the longest was sewn
on. I did leave the
ruffles unhemmed because I liked the
frayed look. I then punch holes in the front and used Medium
size Eyelets for the ribbon to thread through. I added an
embroidery detail on the edge by the ruffles and rhinestoned the top
edge with Swarovski stones. Black ribbon was laced through
and tied at the top. I bought the black tee from target for
$4 and the Striped tights for 98 cents. The tutu was hand
tied on elastic cording. I used 5 different colors of
tulle. I cut in 3 in striped and then in half and tied them
on. I used about 6 yards on this one because I wanted it
thick and full. The hat was a $1 and I hand tacked the pink
marabou around. The witch's wand was made from a 12 in dow
rod that was sprayed silver and black sequin was wrapped around
it. Green Feathers were glued to the top along with an orange
bow. Purple hairbows were handmade too.
:) Whew! Was that detailed enough?...haha.
ARE you, perhaps, a professional
seemstress? Ü)
(Note from Coletta: Yes Ma'am! Quite detailed instructions indeed! and I THANK you for all of your effort in writing it down! The Groovy Witch IS darn GROOVY I must say! Just BEAUTIFUL! Great Job Mom! NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN A WICKED Witch
 In Mom Melissa's words: This was a store bought witch costume that only came with the skirt and top, but of course I had to give it a few extras. I found the great witch hat at a dollar store and attached a spider hanging from the top of it using thread. We added a wig of long black hair, long black nails, a wicker broom, witch tights, and a cauldron for her treats. But the fun part of the whole thing was the makeup. We attached a lightweight rubber nose over her nose and painted her entire face and neck green. We then added great eyebrows/eyelashes, lips, and even a mole. Nobody recognized her!!! NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
If you don't have the time or the inclination to MAKE a costume this year. If you've thought about it, but your heart, for whatever reason, JUST isn't in it...You can probably purchase a costume of the type you were planning to make...and maybe even for about the same as you might spend on the materials to MAKE a costume. On
the other hand, you may look around and spot a
Costume that changes your Costume plans completely Ü.
