Construction Details:

My mom used a Simplicity sewing pattern. I picked a shiny pink fabric (beginner's mistake) even though it might have looked better in a matte knit.

Personal Thoughts:

In first grade (1994) I wanted to be an actual character, rather than a generic ballerina/fairy/princess, so I always consider this to be my first cosplay.

I only helped in limited ways, like picking out the fabrics and cutting out some of the pattern pieces, but I ended up making all the executive decisions with regards to having a skirt or not (we didn't have enough fabric), what material to make the belt out of, whether it was acceptable not to have gloves etc.
