Captain Olivia and her Pirate pal Scooby Costume

Olivia is my 10 year old, Labrador Retriever. Olivia's costume was handmade with love by her mom and grandmaw. Olivia's costume is lightweight and non-constricting. She is able to walk and sit in it. Olivia really enjoyed the process of creating this costume. Each time we had to tailor it to fit her body she received a small treat. She has really "grown" to love it. We started with a cardboard box, poly-fiber fill, contact paper, children's clothes from the local GoodWill Store, a Scooby-Doo doll,embellishments from JoAnne Fabrics & lots of imagination. The entire costume had to be altered to fit Olivia and her needs to be mobile. Scooby's arms were lengthened, clothes were cut and re-attached, and then altered again. We had fun creating what we feel is the funniest and cutest Halloween costume of 2013.
