Inspirations for Seussical Costumes: Part I

These are some inspirational and PINspirational photos for the final costumes. Hortons Elephant ears, the actual Dr. Seuss Gertrude (which reminded me that she blooms 1-feather tail strand and not 10. Deviantart had nice ideas too.

Clearly, Mayzie - the redish bird - is sassy and experienced. Whereas Gertrude is simple and young.

Gertrude Ideas - short skirts, feathers and blue.

As Dr. Seuss intended her to look:
notice the single tail strand that blooms.

I couldn't have tackled this project without the help of some pretty amazing parents involved in the school and show. I created volunteer kits. YES these kits are time consuming to assemble. And you have this classic event planning moment: "I'll just do it myself." Of course you CAN do it... but SHOULD YOU do it all?

NO, don't do it all. You will be exhausted, and frustrated! Pinspiration is tremendous! But realize each project takes time, from minutes to hours. Include the shopping time, cutting, assembling, and all the steps inbetween. So NO - Dont do it all yourself. My costume kits took hours, but they also saved me DAYS!
