Today we got to wear our book character costume to school. I chose Olivia, my costume was inspired by this book:
I thrifted this dress on Monday and waited until Tuesday night to work on it. This maternity dress was the only red dress I found that day but with little time and little options I grabbed it anyways. What I did was cut the length, cut and sew a white collar from an old t-shirt and I added a little black bow. I made the snout and ears from construction paper. My kids liked my costume so I guess it was a success.

After
And here's the class picture, aren't they all cute? My assistant was Ruby the Bumblebee. ^_^
Total cost of costume: $10 dollars

Oh my gosh is this adorable. Not sure how you were able to keep the nose on comfortably, but just so so so cute. You have the best imagination.
Lisa I made some holes on the snout to be able to breathe but i still took it off during the day because the elastic did bother me hehe
