Little Red Riding Hood Costume

My daughter Elly and I hit the thrift store and came across everything we needed for the Perfect "Little Red Ridinghood" costume all for under $7.00 A quick sew here and there and away she'll go trick-or-treating, all while remaining on the path,and avoiding any wolfs!

Prep Time: 30 min. (max)

Costume Materials
  • Dress (with red in it)
  • Red hooded zipup sweatshirt a couple sizes to large
  • White cording, or ribbon
  • A woven basket (from your kitchen?)
  • A pair of slip on shoes, or boots.
Costume Instructions
  1. We made the perfect "Little Red Riding Hood" dress for only $3.99.
  2. I also picked up a red zip up hooded sweatshirt which was about three sizes to large, and only $2.99 to make the cape.
  3. I cut the under-arm seam of the sweatshirt and flattened it sewing the edges to the cut side of the seam, to make more of a full cape, I then just added white cording, around the neck, leaving enough at the ends to tie around the neck.
  4. This costume (including time in the thrift store) took about 45 minutes to make.
  5. She slipped on a pair of boots she already had, we pulled a basket off of the shelf and she is ready to hit the streets.
