Poison Ivy Costume

Another very time consuming costume. This one was made for my daughter. First thing I did was purchase some leaves at the dollar store and outlined all the leaves in green glitter. I tried to find leotard goodwill but only ended up finding a huge gymnastics suit. Sewed the suit down and hand sewed each leaf on the front of the leotard. Had trouble trying to figure out how I was going to do the gloves and pants since I could not find anything in a good color for it. I ended up finding women’s shirts at Walmart for a dollar and just got two of those xl and used them for the fabric to make both the gloves and pants. I hand sewed the leaves to the gloves and drew a leaf vine in glitter on the pants. For the shoes we tried to make them a little pointy like the movie version so we made slip covers for the front of her shoe out of old socks and tape to give it the pointed look and then slipped the pants over the shoes. The wig was bought on ebay as a plain straight red wig. I added the leaves to the wig and then twisted and bobbi pined the top to look like ivy. The last detail was the green eye mask. This was just made out of foam paper and glitter (designed myself, no pattern) we used eyelash glue to keep the mask on her face.
