Halloween Costume Contest 2014

Belle and the Morton Salt Girl

Morton Salt Girl and Belle meet the dog.

There is no Belle in the town costume which is of course, what my daughter wanted to be.  She is 12 so I had to alter Mcalls 6554 to fit her smaller frame.  I also modified the top by cutting it lower and adding some darts to give it a different shape.  Her sister (also 12) was bound to be the Morton Salt Girl.  Of course, no pattern.  So I used Burda 9465 and modified it by adding pleats to the top and making bell sleeves.  Also, she wanted it to be washable so I used a very soft knit and knit underlining which peeks out at the bottom.  To give the bodice more structure I added a self facing.  In the knit you need the self facing or it would have been too sheer and unstructured.  Fortunately she had the yellow shoes, but I think that was the origin of the whole costume idea.
