I'm going to share with you how I made the little boutique dress with the apron front and applique, the ruffled leggings and the little newsboy (or conductor) hat. My daughter loves it and won't take it off now, which means "success" to me!
The entire project cost less than $30 and it was about two day's worth of sewing for me. Little C had some red shoes that still fit her from last Christmas to finish the look and we found an inexpensive red wig at the drugstore in their Halloween display. The costume consists of an easy dress that starts with a plain white tee, some ruffled leggings and a newsboy hat. It's very boutique inspired, and it's even something that she could wear day-to-day (minus the wig.
She was very adamant that she wanted to be "that Strawberry Shortcake" (the "new" one with the sassy little simple dress) and not "the old one" (the one I liked better, of course, with the prairie styled pinafore and bloomers).īecause I'm not a fan of copying something exactly nor could I find the "perfect" Strawberry Shortcake fabric to use (that exactly matched the new Strawberry Shortcake's outfit), my daughter and I came up with a unique spin on the costume. My eldest daughter really wanted to be Strawberry Shortcake for Halloween (and also apparently for her birthday in January).
