My oldest decided this year that she wanted to be the Princess and the Frog with her sister. Both of them being frogs. This definitely makes my life easy....right.
For one thing...I despise dressing up like a "princess" Why? I don't really know. Maybe cause EVERYONE does it. Everyone wants to be a princess. Well girls hate to break it to you, but really you are a princess. But you aren't one of those fantasy princesses. You are a full blown princess because you are a daughter of God.
But you don't need a name like Cinderella, or Tiana, or Aeriel.
Nope any nice pretty name will do. Why? Because you are you.
So when my daughter didn't want to be the princess in the dress, but the frog. I jumped at the chance.
Plus, I could make a costume that is warm. Which is a must in the Idaho fall. Who knows if we will be trick or treating in the snow or in our shorts. It really could go either way. Honestly. We've done both....
but most of the time it is in the snow or really cold and windy.
My oldest is Princess Tiana and my baby is going to be the prince. Lucky for me, we found a store bought frog costume that will work perfectly for the baby. So I only need to make one outfit.
I used pattern McCalls Pattern M6185.
Doesn't that look just like a princess face to you?
The pattern is really simple to follow along. Most commercial patterns I have found are difficult to follow but this one was well written.
I did not make the feet that come with the pattern because I don't want them to ruin the entire costume because they get muddy and dirty from trick or treating in the rain or possibly snow.
The baby is getting a commercially made frog costume because it was cheaper than making one for her.
