Wednesday Addams

 Here's a better picture of my Wednesday Addams. 

The black and white background is perfect for her, isn't it? Much better than cheerful green grass.

 Another photo prompt was Wednesday Addams.

I think Maritza makes a great 1960s Wednesday Addams!

She has to share the dress with Melody, though. 

Here's the blog post I wrote about sewing this dress. I have added buttons and tacked down the collar since I wrote that post.

I would like to take another picture of Maritza in from of a spookier background, but this is what I have so far for this photo prompt!

Wednesday Addams Dress

Happy October 13th!

When thinking about making Halloween costumes, Wednesday Addams was one of the first things that jumped to my mind.

It turns out that the Addams Family TV show started in 1964, so it makes a perfect costume for Melody!

I used two Keepers Dolly Duds patterns for this dress.

I used the Simplicity 8314 pattern for the main dress and the Supplemental Collar pattern for the collar.

I did lengthen the pattern piece for the sleeves and make my own pattern for the cuffs.

I am getting more confident at altering doll clothes patterns!

To be exactly like the 1964 Wednesday Addams dress, I need to add a row of buttons down the front of the dress.

I don't have any on hand, so I left them off for now.

I think it's a cute and easy Halloween costume!
