My Halloween costume turned out just as well as I’d hoped!
My big thanks to Sarah for sending me these awesome socks, which were absolutely perfect!
I also owe thanks to K, who created the key you see hanging around my neck in the photo above and for helping me attach the sparklies to the dragonfly hairclip you see in the photo below.
This was the least sewing I’ve done on a costume in years – the only sewing I needed to do was to hem the raincoat to the right length (it was pretty huge! I could totally have ordered a small but didn’t think about that until I got the medium). I’m happy to report that the kids who saw me knew just who I was, though many of my coworkers were sadly in the dark.

I had meant to tell you that your costume was great – this week has been crazy and I haven’t had much time to blog or comment. Neil Gaiman would have been impressed.
Thanks, Amy! I loved yours, too!
hey. i like your clip try painting your nails BLUE coralines nails are blue.
Great costume, and thanks for the inspiration. I was just showing this to my four year old who wants to be Coraline for Halloween. It’s so much easier for me to make her Coraline than the dragon she originally wanted to be, so you just saved me lots of time.
