Halloween Pillow Case Dress

So Halloween is coming up and I wanted to share what I made my Daughter and my Niece for HALLOWEEN last year. It was a pillow case dress but I had to modify it quite a lot because I didn't like how it turned out. Here is what it looks like the before and after and the modified parts:

So I bought some black and white poka-dot fabric and made a dress then added a ribbon as the straps and  a bow on the side.
 But it looked so plain so I added some ribbon at the bottom also.



Then put it on my daughter and this is what it looked like :)



But it looked poofy and big and i didn't like it, So I cut the bow offthen added some more ribbon to the waist I sewed it to the front in the middle that way I can tie it in the back to make it look titer and less poofy

 But it still looked boring so I made a ghost out of felt and sewed it on the bottom corner and made it look a lot cuter.
 and sewed a happy face on the ghost also.
 I made 2 and also added a orange bow to each ghost to make it more girly
 Here is my daughter wearing it with some black leggings.

 This is the Back:







She loves it but the only thing i hate about this project was that after i washed it the orange ribbon with white poka-dots washed mostly off :(

But if she cant wear it as a dress this year I guess I can turn it into a shirt :)
