Mary Poppins - Practically Perfect

Serenity has talked about being Mary Poppins for Halloween for almost a whole year. She loves to watch the movie and sing the songs. I had so much fun making her costume. She looked "practically perfect"!

I found women's size vintage hand drawn patterns for the shirt and skirt and sized them down to fit Serenity. I love the gores on the back of the skirt, she wore a slip underneath to give some fullness to her behind.

I crocheted they scarf and sewed the carpet bag and the hat. Serenity saved her allowance and bought herself the parrot umbrella.

She loves her costume and has been playing "dress-up" with it every day since Halloween.

Great job Jess! Such a cutie! Miss you guys, hope things are going well! We will probably see you guys sometime next year. Too long, but you know how it is with school. When we are off from school we aren't off from work and visa versa. Tell the kiddos and Shane Hi and we love them!
