    Unbearable cuteness! And the little house in the backgroung is that where the cute animal lives?

  5. Lizette Greco (80 months ago | reply)

    @Camilla: I never found out what that little house in the background was for but it had a little cord stretched over it (over E's head, see all sizes) hunging with little cloth pins that can't be seen in the picture. Perhaps they were little people's dwellings (elves, fairies, etc.).

    Aw' such a Q T

  20. thebobby. (44 months ago | reply)

    Sooo CUTE! Do you sell your costumes?

  21. Lizette Greco (44 months ago | reply)

    Thanks everyone.

    @Bobby Salinas: we do take commissions for costume design for plays and such. It is a time consuming process: we do our research, collect materials, make our own patterns, etc. In the end, most people want these costumes for a one time appearance and wouldn't necessarily want to invest in the cost of what we make. I'll email you more details.
