I made this costume this last week. I've been busy working on some projects. I will reveal them as they finish. I tried to rent this Alice costume from a local costume shop, but my bust was too large to fit the dress. I'm too top-heavy! :P
So I went to good old Hobby Lobby and found a pattern for a costume that can make Dorothy, Glenda, a Witch, Alice or the Queen of Hearts - all in one! You just make slight alterations.
I spent about 3 days sewing on and off, and now I have this cute Alice costume. It was alot of fun, and I think I want to invest more time into Cosplay. I think I'll make myself a White Mage outfit like I always wanted to be. Final Fantasy 3 has some cute alterations of the costume.
I've gotten a lot more acquainted with my sewing machine, and I feel silly, but I've been watching alot of Sewing with Nancy on Sundays. Once you know what everything is for, it is easy to come up with a finished garment.
And once I'm done with the costumes, I may sell them. They didn't have any Alice costumes (Disney style) larger than a XL, and I didn't want to wear the 4X Sexy Alice costume to work. :D Yeah, right... :D
Hope all is well out there.

Hah! Looks awesome. I hope that you bought a blonde wig to finish off the look you're rocking.
I know that Alice did Alice from Alice in Wonderland. The wig really made it pop. As I recall.
Looks like you're having fun. Which is good to hear!
Awwww it's cute!
My mom did make me an alice costume, too. I actually really liked the... pinafore part? The white smock thing? It might be all one piece on yours but my mom made it separate. I always wanted to make another cause I really liked it.
Anyway. Mom is sending me my own sewing machine (Project Runway edition!) this week. It's my goal to learn how to sew, too. How did you learn? Your costume came out great!
