Little Red Riding Hood & the Big Bad Wolf
Little Red Riding Hood was sick with a confirmed case of the flu the week of Halloween, so sewing the costume was more last minute than planned due to extra snuggles and not being sure if she'd even need it. But things were looking up on Halloween and she went to school. Friends and a cousin even joined her for trick or treating that evening.

Adjustments to the bodice: made the bodice 5/6 width but 7/8 length. Added at least 3 inches to the height of the bodice front for modesty/coverage (who wrote this pattern for little girls and what were they thinking on the lowness of the neckline?!?) and added an inch or so to the back bodice neckline. Skirt adjustments: I added fullness and length to both the skirt and the apron.
Sleeve adjustments: I lengthened the sleeves to be around just above her elbows.
The hood is lined.
Main fabrics are Riley Blake:
