Most Unique Halloween Costumes



Emma (21 months) beautifully dressed as Cinderella with matching “glass” slippers. Her accessories include long silk gloves, black homemade ribbon choker, and hand dyed matching headband. Emma’s father thought his Princess needed a horse drawn coach…so he made one. The coach is made of metal rods and wagon parts. The outside is covered with battery operated white lights and the inside has a red velvet floor and seat. The wooden horse, made from scratch, has casters under each hoof and is attached to the coach with silky red rope and white lights as reins.
