Eloise's was very simple. Most of her costume was made up of normal clothes we got thrifting or at Target. We decided we definitely needed plain white knee socks so I purchased those as well. Eloise was very sure that they needed to be plain and white and told me several hundred times. We made a little 'Hello my Name is' sticker and wrote 'Rachel Berry' with her signature gold star. Also added an 'I heart Finn' button to really seal her identity. Eloise played the part of Rachel well and loved dressing up as her favorite glee kid. It was her dream come true. She recently told us that she will only be going to a high school and a college that has a glee club so could we please check to see if ETHS and Northwestern has one. We'll get right on that, Rachel.
Harriet's costume was so much fun. I got a used boys navy blazer and used red bias tape to edge around it Warbler style. She had grey pants and a white shirt and I found the tie at Nordstrom (it's perfect match of Warbler colors temporarily clouded my judgment allowing me to spend as much as I did on a tie for a toddler's costume). I made her Warbler patch by scanning the back of the Warbler CD (a favorite in our house) and printing onto photo paper. Harriet had no idea, of course, who she was supposed to be but we got her to wear her costume by telling her she could dress up 'like daddy'. Thank goodness that did the trick because I was fully prepared to submit a photo of her costume laid out on the table with no person in it.
The girls had a blast hitting all the houses that halloween night. I just trailed behind laughing and being totally entertained by my little gleeks.
