dinosaur costume (mccall 2335)

Xavier's Halloween costume three years ago was a dinosaur costume!  He picked it out, and chose the colors, (which I loved because it's neutral, and I can add a bow to it, if a little girl wants to wear it in the future.)


I used McCall's #2335.  It was a lot of stuffing and pieces, but it was simple enough for a basic sewer, if you're willing to take your time.



I loved that the feet are attached to the bottom of the legs, and that it has optional gloves.



I also made a pink version of this very costume the same year for a neighbor girl who was very into dinosaurs.  I think they both turned out adorable!!

You could also add wings and not put the scales on the hat to turn this pattern into a dragon, if that's what you wanted.

Hi! I found your website through Google as I was searching for a pink dinosaur costume for my daughter for this year's Halloween. Your costume turned out ADORABLE! Can I ask a few questions? How long did it take for you to make it? How much did materials cost? Was it a costume that a beginning sewer could make? Thank you for the inspiration and McCall's pattern number!

Good work I really love it. We know that the real leather dinosaur costume's price is so high. But you don't need to take any tension because realistic dinosaur suits is here. If you set your mind to buy one dinosaur costume then you should go there because you will find different kind of costumes at a reasonable price.
