Sooooo... here I go again... I didn't take too many pictures during the process, but I'll explain how relatively simple it was- without a pattern/design.
So my little girl was 4- gives you an idea of the size. I happened to find home accent/costume fringe on the clearance rack at the fabric store, then the shiny fabric (or sequins if you prefer) is pretty cheap considering you need only one yard. I went with doing a strapless design more or less, with added on straps. Since this is a straight dress, you simply need to lay it flat, sew the fringe straight across (I started from the bottom and went up), then you can use buttons, a hook & eye, or snaps to fasten it in the back. Then I just sewed the straps on to help give it support, and there we are!
For the headpiece I found an awesome ostrich feature (again- craft store), plus some trim/ribbon for the headband, and simply glued it on... Add on a feather boa (from your local craft store, costume store, or second hand shop), and she's trick-or-treating in style!!! :)
Total cost? About $20...
