Preliminary Plans for Coraline Costume



Liv loves Coraline. The first two weeks we owned the DVD she watched at least a dozen times. She talks about Coraline Jones all the time as if she were a real person. So today when I idly suggested she go as Coraline for Halloween, she practically glued her face to the computer screen to see what sort of things could make up her costume. I know lots of people are doing this, but I want to do my own, with an emphasis on making/reusing as many items as possible.

Preliminary Checklist:

Yellow Rain Jacket
Yellow swampers (read: galoshes)
Blue wig/temporary hair coloring
Blue jeans
Pink striped shirt
Mini Coraline doll
Dragonfly hair clip
Blue nail polish

Other possibilities:

Captain hat
Messenger bag (faded red)
Button Key necklace

The nice thing is that Liv's eyes are brown and she has already mastered the pouty expression. I figure the jeans and pink shirt outfit is the easiest. I might even try a light grey sweater and black slacks with a phony neck brace to match. Although with my boobs, if I invest in a ridiculous-looking corset and a blonde wig, I could go as Ms. Forcible. :P

Coraline Doll:


General Notes:

  • Dragonfly hairclip has blue body and pinkish wings
  • Hair is parted on the left
  • Coraline has five freckles on each cheek
  • Captain hat is dark navy with brass tacks at each temple and a red device center
  • It occurs to me if I go with the hat, the hair clip would be pointless (hmmmm...)

  3. Anna, I'm not sure what size your daughter is; mine's a 4T so I'm still looking in the baby section. So far, the best one yet id at Children's Place. It's not orange and pink, but it's a good start.
