Thumbelina
Thumbelina - Don Bluth
This cosplay was one of my first stash builds, and an early speed build for my trip to Australia. This was the simplest of them all and I ended up using the pieces a TON in later outfits and my daily wardrobe, that skirt was so fun to twirl in. Shirt was made from cotton sateen and a modded peasant blouse pattern, skirt is the back side of a poly satin, made as a gusseted skirt (I STRUGGLED with the corners, but learned a lot) Cincher is just interfaced crushed taffeta, made using a cut down corset pattern (no boning yet, I would convert shortly XD). The wig is a short wig base, with a 5ft long wig stacked and sewn on-top, then stuffed with batting for height. Other than the wig this was extremely comfortable to wear around and is another cosplay Iād like to revisit with the skills I have now.
