Tulle Tutu
Every year our family participates in the Halloween themed weekend at the Renaissance Festival. This year, we welcomed a new family member so I decided to dress the girls up and parade them in the Halloween Costume Contest. My oldest knew immediately what she wanted to be so it was up to me to pick the cutest costume for a 3 month old girl.
I saw a Pin for a Tulle Fairy Dress that was perfect for my Lily's first costume. The design was modified to fit my 3 month old as a tutu. Instead of the feathers, flower and bow in the original Pin, I added beautiful ribbons all the way around.
*tips*
*The tulle that I used was too transparent for older girls. I recommend more layers of tulle or darker colors. My little Lily wore a onesie underneath so I wasn't worried about it.
*I noticed that the tulle and ribbons kept coming lose from the knots attaching them to the elastic band. I ran it through the sewing machine once, backstitching at beginning and end.
*No baby girl's costume would be complete without a matching bow. The headband was purchased from Hobby Lobby and the bow was made from ribbon scraps that you can also purchase from Hobby Lobby.
