:( I got the "flight suit" assembled to the point where I could try it on, and it's a great big FAIL. I actually have no idea how this suit is supposed to fit anyone, the proportions are so far off. (I mean, I'm short from shoulders to hip, and this suit was short in the back. The sleeves and shoulders were fine, but nothing else fit -- the legs were too short, the collar was way too high, etc.) I guess it's good that I started with the flight suit, rather than the hat or belt/sash. (I figured that if the suit didn't work, I'd be annoyed that I'd spent all that time on the accessories.) If I had found some light blue trousers, I'd only need a shirt, but the pair that I had a few years ago went off to a rummage sale sometime before 2020, iirc. Ah well, I do have a stash of costumes -- I'll just have to dig one of them out. One last outing for the red circus jacket and top hat, probably; although the "spanish dancer" would work with Encanto. At some point, I should remake the bloomers from my Edwardian swimming costume; and find some flats and blue stockings to wear with it. And make a decent witch costume -- hrm, do I still have the halloween cat jacket?

But that does mean that I'll be able to get into the garden tomorrow, rather than hunkering down in the sewing room.
