Bobbysoxer Costume
My mother sent us a dress with a poodle-type skirt. It inspired me to make a little bobbysoxer costume. I painted some canvass sneakers to look like saddle shoes and added matching ribbons for shoelaces and hairties. Then, I popped the lenses out of children's sunglasses and painted the frames to match the costume. My 2 1/2 year old loves her costume!
