I\’m a children\’s librarian, and at my library, we do halloween up. A week of costumes, guessing games, spooky story times, etc., etc. Wait–what? A week of costumes? omg, it\’s october 14th and I have nothing to wear.
For those of you who also have nothing to wear for your Halloween shenanigans, I thought I\’d do a little round up, matching an indie pattern to a costume (or a few). Support independent pattern designers, make a one-of-a-kind costume, and have something cute to wear through November!
90s Grunge Icon/Lumberjack
Basically anything sixties? Stripes or a mod print for a Ye Ye girl, add some oversized eyelashes for a mod girl/Twiggy, Black with black trousers & flats for \”Funny Face\” Audrey, black with black trousers & flats AND sunglasses indoors for a beat poet.
other possibilities: lifestyle blogger (in a breton stripe + red lip, oversized glasses, giant camera), Star Trek woman (Lt. Uhura, please!), Kate Middleton (+ wedges, navy blazer, ring)
Christine Haynes Emery Dress
Alice in Wonderland/Dorothy (of Oz)
These are basically the same costume, just with different props. Then, starting November 1, you have a pretty blue dress to wear.
other possibilities: Mad Men woman (Trudy or Betty), a pretty witch (+ hat, broomstick), pretty cat/mouse (or anything from the nettie idea, but sub pretty for sexy)
alternate patterns: any pattern actually from the 50s/60s

Such a clever post. I don't dig Halloween myself, but it's been fun to introduce the festivities to my little guy.
