A Teenager's Dollhouse

It's here! The Maleficent costume! If you didn't know, all of the costumes you see here are homemade. The Maleficent to a very long time to create, and is very delicate. I hope you all enjoy the photos of the costume! 

This is the full Maleficent costume. It's a black shirt with sparkly sheer sleeves. The cape is separate, and has an attached collar. There is a long skirt with a leg slit to show off the black flats Maleficent is wearing. Her accessories include a black mask that resembles horns, a blackbird, and a staff. 

The cape can drape along Maleficent's arms, and gives a really dramatic look. 

Ok, this is one of my favorite shots from the shoot. The cape collar can cover her face perfectly! 

This is a better look at her horns. They have a strap under her chin, and a strap that goes behind her head. 

The raven is pet bird I got a Micheal's craft store. It has a wood clip on it, so I can attach it to the costume. 

The leg slit is one of my favorite parts. I just love how dramatic it looks! 

I actually took these photos at midnight using my new photography lights. I made a light box, and the lights create the perfect shadow and contrast to the black costume.

As you can see, the costume has a long tail too. I really love that the costume can stand well without the accessories too. 

The staff is actually a large staff for a human costume- it was purchased at GoodWill but it's orginally from Target. The staff was cut down to be doll sized. 

One last look at this costume. It's new this year and I love it so much. What do you think of it? 

Come back tomorrow for a new costume! Also- I had to start adding watermarks to my photos after a photo stealing issue on instagram. I hope you don't mind! And, if you want your doll costume to be featured as a part of Halloween week, e-mail me your photos at: agchloeandzoe@gmail.com

Now, I know that post series are very loved around here. I haven't done one in a while. I'm not going into detail about how crazy my life is again, but it's crazy. I have tomorrow off, so I'm spending today and tomorrow to prepare all of  Halloween Week. A week where I show off my doll costumes- and a fun giveaway at the end. 

Like last year, if you'd like to send photo of your doll Halloween costume to agchloeandzoe@gmail.com I'd love to post and share them here! 

This year for Halloween, Caroline took the pumpkin costume.

For the past two years the pumpkin costume was claimed by Lanie,because I love the way her blonde curls fall with the chubby little pumpkin. But I switched it up this year and I am very glad I did. Caroline's eyes look so gorgeous with this. 

I don't believe I've ever posted about the pumpkin costume and how it was made, so let me explain. 

The shirt is a shirt for young girls (I believe about five years old) that I purchased at Walmart two years ago. 

We kept the sleeves cuffed (I think it adds to the young-ish feel the costume has) and stuff the shirt silly with fluff. There are two leg hole at the bottom that the leggings are attached too. I don't remember if the leggings were purchased separately from the top or not. 

 The outfit also has shoes and a hat, the hat being a hat for a baby and the shoes are young children socks that was stuff with fluff and tied with a hair tie. 

*insert pumpkin emoji here*

Every year I photograph this costume with little pumpkins, but I did big pumpkins this year and I love how the different shades of orange contrast!

I hope you all enjoyed this post. I've definitely missed posting here. I know pumpkins aren't that exciting, but stay tuned for tomorrow when I post about my new Maleficent costume! I am in love with it! 

love, chloe
