After finding a black
wig and witch's hat at a thrift store, I had half the costume down. I just
needed to find a dress! Not wanting to take the time (or money to buy a
pattern) to sew a costume, I bought two yards of black fabric. I folded
the fabric in half, and cut an approximately 7-inch hole for my daughter's
head. I cut a jagged edge on the bottom of the dress and cinched it at the
waist with a black belt. My daughter wore it over a black turtleneck with
black tights and shoes she already had. We spent less than $10 on the
entire costume. -- Fran from MA
