The piglet comforter in her hand is not part of the costume, just Rascal's most trusted companion |
I'm really really pleased with it!
I love the silver pom poms instead of buttons on the waistcoat.
I love the velcro instead of buckles on the kilt.
But most of all, I love that I MADE IT, and I did it without a pattern or example of such an outfit in front of me.
As for Rascal, she loves it too. We have been showing her photos of her Grandpa, Uncle and Dad in kilts (yes, my Dutch husband donned a kilt for our wedding- a great surprise for his parents!), so she is extra proud of her own special kilt.
...Oh and it helps that there is a kilted dancing snowman in her favourite animation of the moment- "The Snowman". As a result, if you ask her who wears kilts (meaning the Scots) she answers "THE SNOWMAN!!!"... Ah well...
