Not Today Dorothy, Not Today! Costume

Frost is a flying monkey who got the better of Dorothy this time around! Costume is almost completely handmade. I started with a woman's bolero that I bought at Goodwill as a "frame" for the jacket. I sewed blue flannel on it and then added the black, white, and red embellishments and sewed them on. On the back I sewed a two inch wide strip of velcro to attach the feathered wings and cut to slits for the elastic straps on the wings to go through the jacket and around Frost's legs before she puts her front legs through the arm holes.

The hat is a plastic cup from Your Pie Pizza that was trimmed and two holes punched in with a leather punch and elastic straps put through to go under her chin. Blue flannel fabric was glue on the plastic and the felt embellishments were then glued on.

Dorothy's "foot" is a latex severed foot with a blue sock attached and a size six ballet flat (in case you were curious about Dorothy’s foot size :-P) and a red sequin cover over it.
