We Loved "where the wild things are" characters so much and my twin daughters really wanted to be them for Halloween. I went to work on it with cardboard, old fur coats, fur remnanats, an old leopard costume from years ago, animal house slippers and my imagination. The noses were made out of pantyhoses and socks! I have no experience or education in design or sewing but it came out great. It took about 1 week to do Carol's head and then KW took about 3 days. My daughters were so pleased and so was I.

Those are absolutely unbelievable and I can't believe you did them both in a week and a half. They look like they could spring to life any second. I love to make costumes and if I made something that looked even half this good I'd never let my kid take it off! Please post some more of your projects!

Oh wow!!! These are sooooo cool!!!! They look just like the movie, talk about detail and accuracy!! You could make costumes to sell/hire out if you ever got tired of your day job...and your kids look thrilled to bits. They'll never forget these costumes. Awesome job :D

These are so incredible!! Your kids are so lucky to have a mom who makes such great costumes! I am amazed that you made these yourself; they make store bought costumes look so sad in comparison.
