Costumes!

[Imelda]

Ok, guys, I have to come up with a costume for my sister by Thursday. It's World Book Week (we should really know this ...) and they're having a fancy dress day at her school. She needs to be a children's book character, preferably one that's instantly recognisable, and also one that isn't going to make her look incredibly stupid when her tutor visits. :p

Ideas?

I want her to be a pirate, but she won't. :glare:

Alice (From her adventures in wonderland)
Aslan
Wicked Witch of the West
Glinda the Good Witch
Hermione Granger
Ginny Weasely
Lucy/Susan from Narnia
Jane (from Dick and Jane)
Raggedy Anne
the girl from the Chronicles of Prydain
Nancy Drew
Harriet the Spy
Scout from To Kill A Mockingbird
the girl from A Series of Unfortunate Events
one of the characters from Wind in the Willows
the girl from Charlotte's Web
Pippy Longstockings

Aslan? XD

Ok, I should clarify: The only dress we have in the house is some incomplete Elizabethan underwear smock thing, and a black gypsy-style dress I wore for my prom. :p So trousers would be really, really handy ...

Cat Royal from The Diamond of Drury Lane + Series.
Lyra/Mrs Coulter from Northern Lights
Aunt Petunia

Um . . .

How about a charcter from a story from this site or TW?
It'd be different.

Good on her! :D

She could be Anastaisia, Cinderella, or some other little rich girl. The gown would look cute :D

I would instantly think Little Red Riding Hood would be a good idea :)

Something from a fairy story.

*Scrolls up and down several times*

Crocolyle took all the good ideas except for Gandalf. Even Pippi Longstocking! :O

EDIT: Mary Poppins! She's a children's character, right?

[Imelda]

Oooh Mary Poppins could work! She has a long black coat ...

Thanks. :D I'll tell her tomorrow!
