Halloween Skunk Costume made out of recycled things!!!!!

Okay so my ex-sister-in-law,April, wanted me to make her little girl Bella a skunk costume for halloween!! In which I jumped at the opportunity and immediately had ideas for!! When I started getting ideas they were full body suits but April only wanted a suit with arms but no legs so like a little leotard. So what I did was I went to the Amvet Thrift Store and found a crushed velvet dress for a little girl and a womens black valore jacket. From the jacket I used the hood and front where the zipper was and from the dress I used the sleeves and back. I sewed elastic around the ends of the arms and the thighs. I made a flap from the dress to go over the front of the suit to hide the zipper. I put in my own draw string for the hood, and purchased white fur and a white fur boa. I sewed and hot glued the fur on and TA DA IT'S A SKUNK!!!!!






The tail I made out of the rest of the jacket and dress, I put cotton and a coat hanger in the tail to make it have shape. And I attached a string of fishing line from the tail to the back of the neck to make it stand up. If I was to do it again I wouldn't make the tail so heavy!!!!
