Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas Costume
Well my daughter just loved the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas and of course she wanted to be Sally for Halloween but after much searching, the store-bought costumes were just not as cool as I thought they should be, so I decided I would make it.
I went to the fabric stores and very carefully picked out all the correct colored velvets to make her dress. I sewed each piece in the exact shape and location as Sally's dress and then using an old nightgown of my daughters as the pattern I sewed all the pieces into a dress. (kind of like she did in the movie!) Then I hand sewed yarn to look like the hand stitching around all of the pieces.
I then painted tights for her arms and legs with "stitching" and painted her face to match using traditional theater paints.
I used waistband elastic and sewed the yarn to it to create her signature red hair.
It was the talk of the neighborhood and town that is for sure! She got so many compliments on it. She was the happiest trick or treater as Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas!
