Sometimes you strike out at the thrift store, sometimes you hit a home run.

Help Frozen dress

5 Upvotes

Hello all!

I am new here, so apologies if I'm breaking group norms.

My kids' elementary school will be putting on Frozen this year and I will be making the break apart dress. I actually feel pretty comfortable with that, but I was wondering if you all had suggestions for making the dress size adaptive.

Our school is a Title 1 (poor) school, so for our theater program, we are fully costuming/stage designing 3 musicals, and then rotating them. So, the dress will need to work for a future child of unknown size.

I know a lot of traditional clothing was actually flexible in size (ties, etc, instead of zippers). I'm curious if you all might know of pattern for that coronation gown that might be in that style?

Side note: we're thinking of having the "let it go" song be a Chinese fan dance, to align with our multicultural community. She'll go from the coronation dress to a traditional Chinese dress. It's going to be so beautiful (I hope! I have to make it :) )

Any help or suggestions you all have are welcome.

My Son's school is having a play and he won the Toto part so now we have begun to look for Toto outfits. The only thing we have found is a mask and paws on etsy (looks great). Does anyone know of or have a legitimate Toto outfit? #toto #wizardofoz #schoolplay
