I decorated it t look like Gingy from Shrek.
Embellished it with chain stitch and purple pearl (gumdrops buttons).

  • The top and side panels are made with white drill fabric
  • I added boning inside the hem of the sleeves to make it more exaggerated
  • The shorts are Lycra knickers with cotton tube mesh attached
