Frida Kahlo Costume

This amazing women was a famous Mexican painter. To me, she was a strong, interesting, but somewhat child like individual. I have been intrigued with her mysterious persona for many years. My daughter was going to a Halloween party. She asked me to make a Frida Kahlo costume for her.

You can make a this costume quite easily with sewing patterns and fabric from the clearance section of your fabric store. I used two patterns to make this costume.

The fabric for the top was a white cotton eyelet and the skirt was a black linen. Both fabrics were bought from the clearance section of the fabric store for about $15.00. The top has a bit of black ribbon and the skirt was finished with a colorful ruffle at the bottom. Unfortunately the photo doesn't show this.
