Step 1 Cupcake Costume

Since this costume was for a toddler, I needed it to be comfortable and sturdy and easy to wear while gathering candy. Here's a glimpse of the structural base. The bottom cake part consists of vintage velvet stitched end to end, folded, filled with a layer of batting, and stitched at even intervals all around. A child's tank top was opened on the sides and expanded with triangular fabric inserts, then stitched to the cupcake base allowing the structure to hang perfectly from the shoulders. A wooden embroidery hoop holds it round in the middle (it will soon be secured with hand-stitching when the cupcake top is added).
