COSTUMES
I DREAM OF JEANNIE
JEANNIE
October 2001
This is the first costume, let alone the first human sized clothing item I had made. (That's if you don't count the sleep shirt assignment in Junior High home economics.)

PATTERN USED
McCall's 9559 - The pants were altered to remove the shorts and change the shape of the yoke. The top was altered into a bolero jacket.
FABRIC
Bolero
Jacket: Red polyester velvet
Bandeau Top: Strapless Bra covered in hand pleated polyester chiffon
Pants: Yoke - red polyester velvet. Legs - pink polyester chiffon - the
layers are doubled (I suspected this was done on the original Television
costume)
WIG
Base Wig: Revlon Elara. A few wefts were seam ripped off of the elastic near the center top skin cap to create an opening to pull my own ponytail through. I then put my own hair in a bun on top of this wig. The bangs were trimmed a bit to fit my face. The back of the wig is styled into a french twist.
Ponytail: Tempt-Tousled by Tress Allure Remove the jaw clip. Add wig combs and an elastic draw string if they are not present. Place the wig over your bun (secure with some long bobby pins/roller pins) and make a ponytail.
Braided Bun: Revlon Pony Switch (27") This is braided, and wrapped loosely around the bun on top of the head.
