PART II: AUDREY HEPBURN COSTUME TUTORIAL.Our kids gladly enjoy watching old films. That's what inspired our Old Hollywood themed Costumes this year. With three kids needing costumes we knew we had to come up with a plan to create all of the ideas that wouldn't break the bank! Read on to find out how to recreate your own Old Hollywood Costume looks...
Audrey Hepburn
Ok, you've probably seen the ADORABLE viral pinterest post of the Audrey Hepburn Tutu Costume, right?! If you haven't, google it. It's seriously cute. I had EVERY intention of buying it. But, the budget would be BLOWN. Sooooo....
We started with a total flub on my part. The dress is actually an adult dress that I THOUGHT was a girls size small. It wasn't. It was listed wrongly but the description was right. I didn't read it fully [Note to self...] So it had to be altered to fit her. A LOT of fabric came off, but it came out awesome! Dress off of Ebay was $2
Necklace was something I made. It's actually a string of pearls found at a consignment store. They were 50cents. I tied the ends together with thread. This was the cheapest option to get the four strands I wanted it to have. The brooch was an Ebay find for $2, earrings [are magnet earrings because her holes closed up] were $2, the tiara was $2, The glasses we found at TJ Maxx for $8, The gloves were $5, tights $3 and vintage clutch purse [to collect candy!] $5
I also adapted this tutorial [I'm actually going to finish this because I really like the collar but we were pressed for time.] Of the Audrey Cape. It kept her warm. Lining Fabric on hand, Camel Fleece Fabric $2 [one yard] and quickly stitched together. She chose a fun vintagey floral for the inside fabric and it's actually reversible.
TOTAL COST FOR AUDREY HEPBURN COSTUME: 31.50
savings of $68.50 !!!
