Burn of the Century

I volunteered to help a friend with the Halloween costumes for her three kids this year.  They are going as Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach.  Mario and Luigi's costumes were a snap!  But I had to make the ultimate Princess Peach dress.

 I got a pattern since I wanted it to be a surprise and I know her daughter is size 2T. I stayed up last night until 4:35 AM making the dress. I slaved over adding interfacing to the perfectly scalloped collar to make it stand up just so. And the pink swooshes on the hips. And the perfect puffed sleeves.  I was so tired, but continued on. This morning it was looking rather large.  I tried it on my Evangeline (who is a 5T) and it fit perfectly.  Cutting it down three sizes was impossible.  Seriously. Burn of the century.

If at first you don't succeed...

you crochet a wonky flower.

Not good.

Amazingly, it even looks better in this photo than in real life.

It's seriously sad.
