In true "me" form I needed to incorporate my favorite little girl accessory, the tutu, into Hope's Halloween costume. We had been wedding dress shopping with Andy's sister several months before and I drew inspiration from the "mermaid cut" dresses I saw at the bridal shop. I went for an little Mermaid meets Splash look ( I love you, Tom Hanks!!!) and I wanted her to look a bit ship wrecked. I took a white tank top, tie dyed it purple, used some lace across the neckline. I painted shells and glued them on as much of the costume as I could. I knew there was no way she would let me spray her hair with that Halloween Hair color and we live in Texas....it was October...putting her in a sweaty wig would be mean, so I came up with a flowy-feathery barrette using boa material and the painted shells.
....So obviously I had to be Ursula.....
