Tomorrow The Child has a Victorian dress up day at school. Finding her something to use as a costume has been a huge pain in the backside. Actually, that’s not entirely true. Almost as soon as I saw the letter I thought of an old dress my sister gave us that I let The Child use for dressing up. Worn over a dark dress it might just do for a pinafore type thing. And I have to credit The Ex with getting hold of the black dress thing and the bonnet. She should look ok I think. Hopefully. This costume is a vast improvement on the ladybird one we made for World Book Day last summer. Of course, The Child isn’t that fussy yet. She just enjoys the novelty of the thing. Thankfully. But there is no way I’d buy a costume that’s only really going to be used once. Her princess dress has had a lot of wear, but dressing as a Victorian? I don’t see The Child wanting to do that much in the future. And at least they aren’t doing some more fussy and complicated era. Yet. Trying to scrounge up an Elizabethan type ruff could prove interesting. Paper doilies perhaps?
