Queen of Hearts Costume Analysis by Ginger

I just found an amazing costume analysis on the Queen of Hearts costume from Alice in Wonderland.
Check out Ginger's post.
Saved me a lot of figuring out. :)
She also has an analysis on the White Queen's costume.
I can hardly wait to start this project!

Queen of Hearts Project

I found this pattern which I think will work great for the bodice of the Red Queen costume for my sister. She's decided not to go full on with authentic undergarments to keep the cost down so I think this pattern would work great with just a little tweaking. :)
I'm hoping to grab it during the next JoAnn's pattern sale and then start fabric hunting.

Her friend has also decided to be the Mad Hatter so I'll need to start researching his costume soon! These are going to be fun projects!

I've been collecting pattern options for some of Alice's dresses which I will try and get a post done this week.
Hope your all having a lovely weekend!

The Red Queen: Patterns

My sister has decided (she thinks) that she wants to be the Queen of Hearts...so I am starting research just to see how much it will all cost and such. The closest pattern I've found so far is Simplicity 3782 for the bodice (the gold one):
I think it would be easy to change the sleeves slightly and I'll need to add the collar.

Another close pattern that would be cool is Simplicity 2589:

It needs a bit more adjusting but it's so beautiful. :) These patterns look like they will need correct undergarments so another option if she's not wanting to bother with all that is to use a simple pattern like McCall's 5954:

Definitely not nearly as cool but still could be adjusted to work. :)

I'm excited to get started on this project...but it might not be for a little while. But it's never too early to start researching!

I'm excited to see who Chelsea chooses to be. I'm half tempted to dress up too. :)
