My Emma as Tinkerbell

My granddaughter Emma was Tinkerbell for Halloween. A McCalls pattern was used as a base with liberties taken. A very full Tutu in green and  lavender tulle made her quite the Diva. She also had a custom hairband, a wand and dyed to match tights. The bolero, skirt petals  and purchased wings were embellished with deconstructed silk flowers. I have to confess the flowers were a last minute detail added to cover an accident with very red nail polish !


Pattern or design used: McCalls M6138
