I made a lady bug costume for my granddaughter when she was 2 --it had a foam shell with red dots and a hat with feelers. She wore black tights and a black shirt - she was so cute. Another year she was a princess with a long burgandy satin skirt and vest with an overlay of gold netting -- she wore that one everywhere until it wore out. My grandsons have been cowboys. Then it got to be impossible to do all the costumes and work full time too. Now we paint pumpkins!
