Queen of Hearts and Alice in Wonderland Costume Set GIVEAWAY!!!

Oh my, oh my!  I squealed when I saw this.  It has to be the most wonderful Grosgrain giveaway yet, well; I really love the Marie dress and the whole lot of what she makes.  But come on, Alice in Wonderland is my FAVORITE and who could pass up these beauties. 

I seriously want to win this prize!

 

This is what you get: The Queen of Hearts dress, the wig, the crown, the striped tights and red pettiskirt.  The winner will also get the Alice in Wonderland Dress and even the rabbit mask.  Amazing!

 

Kathleen took her cues from the upcoming Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland which makes me even more anxious to see the movie and want to create something too.

Here are some of the details on the costumes from Kathleen:

 

“For the Queen of Hearts dress, I tried to exact every small detail. (Notice the pintucked upper bodice:) Of course, there were a number of things I could not find. The gold and red paisley overskirt material wasn't available at any store I visited. So I bought the gold striped material instead and bustled it with black and red striped gold buttons. Bustles just look better anyway.”

 

“The jewelry detailing on the upper bodice was all done by hand. I mean with pliers and metal cutters. I can't tell you how many details went into this dress. There might just be a hundred buttons. And did I mention I didn't use a single pattern.

It literally took weeks to finish. Of course I didn't work on it everyday but from the first day I started to the last day (being today) weeks have passed. Seeing it on the mannequin was so rewarding. And making the patterns was so much easier with it. I didn't have to ask Lily to take her shirt off once.

Molly's little Alice costume was a little easier to make:) But simply ADORABLE none-the-less. I did use a pattern for the upper bodice. But the sleeves, skirt collar and apron sleeves are my own.”

 

The Queen of Hearts dress would fit a 3T-5T (maybe 6T, depending on how big your child is). The Alice in Wonderland costume would fit an 18month-2T.

Queen of Hearts dress is so beatuful I want one.If you are like the majority people, you don't encompass the time to sew costumes. The cost of supplies alone far exceeds the cost of a pre-sewn costume.
