Halloween Costume: Ladybug Girl

Kate’s favorite book is Ladybug Girl by David Soman and Jacky Davis. It’s a story of a little girl who explores her backyard as Ladybug Girl, a backyard superhero. Several months ago, Kate proclaimed she wanted to be Ladybug Girl for Halloween. After months of anticipation, here is Kate’s Ladybug Girl debut!

It was a very easy, no sew costume. Here’s what we used: 

  • Red Tutu – I purchased Kate’s locally at Judy’s Dance Shoppe, but you can make one with the help of this tutu tutorial from A La Mode Stuff
  • Black or red leotard and tights
  • Ladybug Rainboots - Variations of these are all over the internet at various price points.
  • Wings and Antennae – A Gramma Mim Target find. Target is great because you can purchase elements of a costume without having to commit to the whole outfit
  • Ladybug Candy Tote – I commissioned this show-stopper from Lesley of Smidgebox. It’s the WOW piece every costume needs.

    Oh, very cute and sweet. It looks very professional too. Much better than those cheap ones you can buy. Great job with it.
