Da Vinci Faire

Just rented 6 adult costumes for the Da Vinci Faire at the local elementary school.

A recorder group is preforming while parents & community members look at the projects the students put together; science inquiry, engineering design, inventing & acquired knowledge projects.

Slue Foot Sue & Disney princesses

I rented a Slue Foot Sue dress. She needed a hoop skirt to go with the Pecos Bill tale. We found a pink dress and put the hoop skirt underneath, added a bandanna, gloves and white high button shoes. They were pleased. Go here for story http://americanfolklore.net

Another rental we had was a Disney princess dress for the mom for her daughter's Disney Princess birthday party. She wanted a dress with a full skirt. The dress that fit her was pink. Afterwards I found a picture of Briar Rose. We needed to add a gold choker and gold tiara. I will make a white waist belt and the dress will be similar to Disney. They also took a red King's cape and crown for dad to wear. Most dads would do anything for their beautiful 4 year old daughters.

I do have a Snow White outfit, and a Jasmine outfit. Now I will add Briar Rose.

Medieval Fare

Two more costumes were rented for the Medieval Fare at Central school this year.

Don't they make a handsome priest and bard?

I rented a falconer, nun, princess and a black knight!

Christmas Clothing for Rent

I have 3 Santa costumes: one in red corduroy, one in red velour and one red velvet. There are size XL to 3 X. They have black boot spats, white gloves, black belt and Santa wig and beard. I have a couple of Santa bags and jingle bell strips too. The suits rent for $20.00. Sometimes small children get excited when they see Santa & wet on his leg, then I have to get the suit dry cleaned so I charge $30.00.

I have a plush red cape with white trim for Mrs Santa. It comes with a blouse, skirt, mop cap, white wig & apron.

I have some elf collars & hats.

I have quite a few white dresses & skirts for Angel costumes with small wings.

I also have costumes that would work for the 3 wise men & shepherds.

I have a Frosty the Snowman costume.

And various costumes for carolers.

Pi Rat Photos

Pirates of Penzance was a fun costume challenge. There were 21 in the cast with 13 costume changes.

I sewed 2 new dresses and redid 7. We borrowed the night gowns and police jackets from Denise Wheeler. What a life saver! Mrs. Wright sewed a pirate shirt & Maureen O'Brien sewed a dress.

Three pirates were added to the show and then one more. The last pirate had to wear what was left. (which we didn't end up using, but I will finish sewing it and use it for a rental)Unca Chris took the photos, he has a marvelous camera.
