My husband and I enjoyed a birthday party recently where three of our groovy friends were turning 60. So to celebrate, they had a "Remember the 60's?" party. We thought it would be far out to dress up...okay, I thought it would be far out, and my husband is such a good sport about supporting me! So, off to my favorite thrift store for half off everything day. I picked up a large moo-moo, green sandals, men's dress pants, and two knit shirts. One more stop to pick up cheap shower curtain rings and I was ready to go. Together, both outfits totaled less than $18! (I already had the hat, glasses, and earrings.) I used the fabric from the moo-moo to make the dress. The aqua fabric for the neckband and the inset belt was the moo-moo's lining. I tapered the pant legs. The shirt was made by painstakingly picking off the trim from one shirt, and then using part of that shirt to inset a "V" onto the white shirt. The trim was then sewn on top of the "V".
Costume Tip: Look to the internet for inspiration. This was mine...
