Dorothy Wizard of Oz Costume



These are the shoes I ordered from Zappos for my eight year old granddaughter's Dorothy costume. Zappos is a great online store, mainly because they have free shipping....both ways, so if they don't fit, no problem.  
Having gotten the pattern (4948) for her Dorothy dress from JoAnn Fabrics when they had McCalls patterns for $.99, I made her the dress, also. (Simplicity also has one.)  I couldn't find real woven gingham, but settled on a printed light blue gingham lookalike.  Not reading the pattern piece for the skirt back, which said cut 2, I made it with only one back, and think it looks fine. So there is a savings of fabric doing it that way. Here she is...
