the sally dress

Horsey Girl wanted to be Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween.  Unfortunately we got kind of a late start on it, and I was too exhausted to do much research.  Reluctantly I gave up an assortment of unwanted articles for her to slash and stitch.

I always underestimate this girls' creative drive.  In less than an hour, she had whipped out this little Breakfast at Tiffany's meets the Haunted House dress.  A little bit sexy, a little bit spooky.  I was impressed.

All the details were hand stitched, and I love it hanging here on our spooky front door.  Too bad it was a teensy bit too small (and a smite too revealing for the trick-or-treat crowd.

Tres chic though.
