Tutorial: DIY Alice In Wonderland costume

Melissa from Melly Sews and Blank Slate Patterns shows how she created this adorable Alice In Wonderland costume for a little girl. You’ll need a basic dress sewing pattern. She used her Fiesta Frock which is available for sale (or free in a size 3T), but if you already have a tried & true pattern you like, then you can most likely use that instead. The dress underlay is made using the dress pattern, and the signature white apron with a few modifications to the pattern.
