Halloween Costume

So, I don't know if I have included this story, but you need to know it in order to understand my Halloween costume. When I was in kindergarten, two of the parents came in dressed as Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. They did some type of presentation and then left. The teacher got the costumes and told us that we could put them on and play in them and that they would be over in the house area. I ALWAYS wanted to put on the Raggedy Anne costume. I never had the courage to do it. It was 1985 and I was five years old, so I didn't understand cross-dressing or being gay or anything alternative. I don't regret not having done it, because I did what I had to do to be okay with stuff, but I have this thing for Raggedy Anne stuff (and someday I'll have a Raggedy Anne doll, damn it). When I saw a vinyl Raggedy Anne outfit on eBay (granted it's a little bit sexier version), I've been dying to get it. I realized that since I finally know how to use my sewing machine, I am going to make it. I will actually finally be making my own Halloween costume. I've done it before by throwing things together, but this is the first time I'm actually sewing a Halloween costume. YEAH!!!!!!
