Hello, here is the calico version of the witch costume I’ve made for Halloween this year. It’s basically the sample/prototype I’ve made before making the final outfit. It’s almost the same in style except that I’ve skipped the inner skirt and the pleated trimmings along the chest. For the final version, I’ve made the sleeves longer and the bodice slightly more fitted. I’ve made a sample hat with a felt-like wool fabric as well so I guess I have a white witch outfit here. Although there’s something lovely about clothes all made in cream coloured calico, I couldn’t resist making the buttons in mint green because I wanted to highlight the row of many covered buttons narrowly spaced along the front centre. I think it’s very cute and hope you like it too.
