My Life As 2021 Halloween Costumes

These three adorable Halloween costumes come from the My Life As line, which is exclusively sold at Walmart. They are part of the brand's Halloween line for 2021.

Hiedra is wearing the Orange & Black Witch Costume. It consists of a dress with a high-low hemline, and is made out of a shiny, satin-like fabric in orange, green, and black.

Green ribbons criss-cross over the bodice, and another ribbon is attached around the waistline, tied into a bow in the front. The sides of the bodice are held in black, while the middle part as well as the sleeves are kept in orange, giving the appearance of a vest over the dress. The neckline is decorated with a slightly lighter green ribbon.

The skirt part is held in wide orange and green stripes, and has a sparkly orange tulle overlay. The inside of the skirt is lined in black. The dress closes in the back with velcro.

Another part of the costume is a black pointed hat, made out of thick felt. The ribbon with bow from the waist of the dress repeats itself here directly over the hat brim. An attached black elastic holds the hat in place on the doll's head.

Josefina is wearing the Black & Pink Cat Costume. It consists of a dress, which is made out of a soft velvet fabric in black and pink.

A white winking cat face is printed onto the front of the bodice, and pink and black cat ears decorate the upper part of the bodice, close to the neckline. The neckline and the sleeve cuffs are held in a black faux fur fabric. The skirt part is lined on the inside with a pink shiny satin fabric. A pink ribbon with a bow in the front decorates the waistline. The dress closes in the back with velcro.

Another part of the costume are pink, black, and green spotted tights, which look similar to a leopard design, as well as a black headband with pink and black cat ears.

A black tail is sewn to the back of the skirt part, made out of the same velvet material as the dress.

Luciana is wearing the Rainbow Unicorn Costume. It consists of a dress, which is made out of multiple colorful fabrics.

Velvet fabric in the colors pink, purple, teal, yellow, and orange form the bodice. There is a sparkly ribbon around the hem of the arm openings, and the little cap sleeves are made out of white tulle with sparkly multi-colored stars.

The skirt part is made out of an organza-type fabric, and the same colors as in the bodice were used; however, they sort of bleed into each other, which is a very nice touch. The same tulle that was used for the cap sleeves also layers the skirt. The dress closes in the back with velcro.

Attached to the bodice is a white hood, made out of velvet fabric, which has the Unicorn ears and horn attached. The horn is pink and the ears are white and pink. The hood has an opening in the back, which allows for the doll's hair to be pulled through.

Along with the dress come a pair of pink sparkly tights.

Here is a picture of the back of the hood, which shows the opening for the hair. This is really helpful for dolls with long hair.

We're very happy to add these adorable costumes to our closet, and look forward to wearing them again in the years to come.

Knitted & Crochet Flamenco Dress

Hello, doll friends!

I'm back today with another of Mama's creations. We dolly girls think that she outdid herself with this one because she made us a Flamenco dress! We absolutely love it! Mama said it looks a lot harder to make than it actually is, and that anyone who can can knit and crochet can make this dress without any problems.

Let's see our beautiful sister Luciana modeling it for us:

This is what it looks like from the front....

....as well as from the back. It simply closes with two buttons

And in the following pictures we will see Luciana showing a few dance poses:

If you would like to make the Knitted & Crochet Flamenco Dress for yourself, you can click on the link below to get to the pattern and the downloadable pdf file.

I plan to keep my patterns free for everyone to use, but please make sure to link back to this page for credit. Thank you! 😊

5-piece Neon Skeleton Costume

This adorable costume was sold by Amazon (search for seller American Fashion World).

The set consists of:

~ 1 top

~ 1 pair of leggings

~ 2 arm sleeves

~ 1 tutu

The top is black with short, puffy sleeves, and an elastic inside the sleeve hem to keep it laying tight onto the upper arm. The neckline is square, and the front of the neckline has a small black lace overlay. The front of the top features the upper body of a skeleton printed in bright yellow, neon pink, light pink, and neon blue. The top fastens in the back with velcro.

The leggings are black, ankle length, and have an elastic waist. Each leg features two printed skeleton leg bones and a knee joint. On the right leg the colors are bright yellow, neon blue, and neon pink. On the left leg they are neon pink, bright yellow, and neon blue.

The arm sleeves slip onto each arm and reach from the wrist to above the elbow. The sleeves are black, and each one features a printed skeleton arm bone as well as four parallel wrist bones; two per row. The colors for these are bright yellow, neon pink, and neon blue. It's up to the wearer which sleeve to place on which arm.

The tutu has an elastic waist and ends at the knees. It is made out of tulle panels in the colors black, purple, neon blue, bright yellow, and neon pink.

I decided to wear this costume for Halloween 2020, and here you can see me modeling it together with my jack-o-lantern candy bucket, as well as with several pumpkins we got for decoration.

Here is another view of it.

In this picture I'm showing you the top, the leggings, as well as the arm sleeves. The costume looks fabulous worn without the tutu as well.

Please note, the pink headband did not come with the costume. I will show you where it came from very soon in another entry, and then add it here accordingly.

In these pictures I'm also wearing the black Mary Janes as well as the pink glittery flats from THIS entry.

I'm very happy to add this awesome costume to my closet 😊

Bumble Bee Dress

Hello, everyone!

Today I would like to show you another outfit Mama crocheted for us. Just in time for Halloween we have a beautiful costume 😊

This cute outfit is called the Bumble Bee Dress, and was made from a pattern by Adoring Doll Clothes. You can find the instructions HERE.

*** Please note: This pattern is available for purchase only, but you still need to link back to the creator if you use it! ***

The set consists of a a dress, a pair of legwarmers, and a hat. The entire outfit is crochet.

I decided to wear it for Halloween 2020, and here you can see me modeling it together with my jack-o-lantern candy bucket, as well as with several pumpkins we got for decoration.

Here is another view of it.

Mama is a member of the Adoring Doll Clothes group on Facebook, and the owner, Pamela, did a Halloween 2020 costume contest, in which the members could participate by crocheting and having their dolls wear one of the many beautiful outfits Pamela created for her website.

Mama decided to make the bumble bee dress, and submitted my picture above, where I'm holding the candy bucket.

Guess what?

We won!!! 😍

Pamela made a video with all of the entries and winner, and Mama linked it on her Facebook. If you want to take a look, Mama's post with the video is right HERE.

And to top it all off, we were sent some absolutely amazing prizes for winning! Let me show you:

We received this totally adorable Halloween bag, which was full of all kinds of goodies; everything Halloween themed.

Inside the bag was a card, three skeins of yarn, two cups, stickies, two pairs of socks (ankle length and knee length), two kitchen towels, two notepads, two pens, a door hanger, a wall decoration, an infinity scarf, a little ghost figure, candy corn, lollipops, and candy bracelets.

So many awesome things! We all were simply blown away by Pamela's generosity!

So with this in mind, maybe you would like to make this Bumble Bee Dress as well, and if you do, I wish you lots of fun! Also, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, and please don't forget to link back to Adoring Doll Clothes if you crochet the set. 😉
