This Halloween my boyfriend suggested that we go as Mario and Princess Toadstool from Nintendo.  So being an overacheiver I had to do it up right.  I began with a Vogue Men's Vest Pattern that I had used previously and tailored to fit my body.  I used this to make the jacke and just manipulated the pattern to acheive the design of my sketch.  The skirt was just a plain tiered ruffled skirt worn over a hoop skirt I made from wire and tubing I bought at Home Depot.  We had a blast and looked GREAT doing it.  So wonderful to see everyone's creations and hope you enjoy mine!


Pattern or design used: My own design - Princess Toadstool
