So I've been hinting heavily on Twitter about doing some clothing based on the Wizard of Oz. I spent a good portion of my childhood watching this movie. It was the first VHS we got after we got the VCR! It was around the time that the 50th anniversary edition came out. That's pretty cool because the 75th anniversary edition just recently came out and for some reason do not own yet. This will of course be rectified shortly now that I have brought it to my attention.
Here's what we have so far:
Dorothy: Classic blue gingham skirt with red edging or trim around the bottom. Hopeful to find a red quilter's cotton with shine or shimmer so I don't have to get an over the top prom dress fabric for the bottom. Sparkling red lace trim at bottom also an option.
Tin Man: This in silver with a crystal red heart button at the neckline. Contemplating whether or not to do a textured or patterned silver.
Lion: Winter set: paw mittens, tail scarf with a hero medal brooch, and a lion mane hat. Should the hat be a full mane, just ears, or something in between?
Scarecrow: Button-down in the classic blue-green. Still contemplating how I want to incorporate the straw-yellow. Yoked shirt would look bad. Perhaps a knit lace scarf or shawl to accent the neck.
The Wicked Witch: Little Black Dress. Going to bring in the classic green color as an accent or color block (depends on what dress pattern I decide to like). Suggestion of knitting striped witch socks.
The Good Witch: The girly outfit. Pink capris with glitter accents. T-shirt with painted/screened: "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"
Toto: Plaid handbag with scotty dog iron-on.
That seems like a big enough pile of stuff to handle. If you have any suggestions for any of these projects, please let me know in the comments. But remember, this stuff is meant to be worn in public, not for cosplaying!
