Construction Details:

Oh this costume, it's simplicity was so incredibly frustrtating for me. Originally I purchased a shirt from Goodwill and altered it, but I just didn't like the way it fit. I looked around and found the perfect shirt at Target, but it was white, so I decided to dye it. I had a very hard time getting a dye in the proper shade of blue, you would think it would have been easy. After my first try the shirt turned out way to dark and even after a round of lightner it still didn't work. So I had to buy the same shirt again and after some careful mixing I got a blue that was close enough. I changed out the buttons on the shirt and added the small flaps to the top of the shoulders. The pants were a lucky find at Target, I got them on clearance for $5, and the shoes were also a find at Goodwill for about $4. The undershirt was something I had in my closet, it was long sleeve so I shortened them and added the small slit in the front.
