I made this costume from a Butterick poodle skirt pattern. The director asked us for costumes that were reflective of the late 1950's-early 60's. Since my character was so young, I figured the 50's were easier to manage. The skirt and suspenders are made of yellow cotton gingham with a petticoat of tulle. The shirt is a peter-pan collared shirt from Old Navy. Shoes are white keds dyed yellow.

I modeled my dress after the one on the left.
