I started making Halloween costumes for our daughter when she was 4 or 5. The early costumes were pretty simple, mostly to make it easy on me to get her in and out of them. As she got older, she requested pretty complicated costumes.

Typically, the Husband made his own costumes, but I also made costumes for the two of us (Zorro and the Mexican peasant maid, Robin Hood and Maid Marian…).

Note: I’ll upload photos as I find them.

Jaguar

Halloween costume for our daughter.
The costumes got more and more complex as she got older.

Stegosaurus

Jester

Another Halloween costume that I made for our daughter.
She picked the pattern (Simplicity 7120) and the colors and requested that I paint her face like a mime.

Gizmo the Gremlin

Pink Panther

This was the last “big” costume I made for our daughter. After this, she chose to make her own costumes.
