Bear costume

I was asked if I have any bear costumes.
I have Baloo the Bear. It is an extra large. It has grey ankle high slippers, gloves, a hood, and nose. It is padded so it has girth. It is made of fleece so it is very warm.
I would wear a neck cooler and drink lotsa water if I were in it when it is hot.

Victorian/Titanic Skirt and Blouse


Blue lace skirt and top. I love the vee design on the bottom.
I found these at a yard sale from the Eastern Star ladies.
I have three sets in different sizes, Med, L & XL.
The top has a cotton vest under neath.
There is a matching sash that covers the elastic waist that can be ties at the side or back.
Very nice outfit.

Arsenic and Old Lace

I helped with a couple of items for the high school play Arsenic and Old Lace.
They used:
a black ruffled top
a black hat
2 veils
a black taffeta skirt with 2 ruffles on the back
2 black lace shawls with fringe
4 Billie clubs, 4 silver police badges
The students did their own costumes and make up. Adults assisted with items the students didn't have.

Women's black wool skirt and top. There are hand sewn button holes on the cuff!

Close up of black wool skirt with hook and eye closure.
This is a men's wool jacket with flat buttons that resembles the minister's clothing.

An old black wool jacket I thought would be perfect for a minister coat.
