Estimated time required to make this costume:
8 hours
Difficulty level:
A bit more advanced - sewing definitely required
Items you will need: (Hit your return key to start a new line)
A long black dress (plain, nothing fancy)
1 yard of faux fur fabric
2 yards of red sequins
black or red high heels
black or red nylons
white and black hair paint or a Cruella wig, you can find at http://www.partysupermarket.com
Faux dalmatian fur purse (optional)
Long fake eyelashes (optional)
Cigarette holder (optional)
Pin (preferably with a dalmatian on it, check Disney Store)
Instructions:
With the yard of fabric, you can make a cape, shawl, cloak, etc. I opted for the cape. All around the edging of the cape, I sewed the sequins. This takes the most time. The pin is used to hold the cape around you. I made my cape a bit longer, so that it drags along the ground. (Not good if you are going to an outdoor party. Make it to your ankles if this is so.) I opted for painting my hair, but the wig is always good, too.
Other information to consider:
I got my fabric with dalmatian spots. Leopard, jaguar, zebra, tiger, etc. all would work.
Ask me for a pic of finished project.
