Young Frankenstein

Frankenstein’s Monster: A very simple costume

If you’ve been reading my blog, you know that I helped a friend out with some costumes on late notice for a high school production of “Young Frankenstein”.  One of the “quick and dirty” costumes I made for her (think less than 2 hours total) was the costume for the Monster.  I don’t have a…

Young Frankenstein: Peasant Dress #7

And here we are . . . on the last of seven variations on a theme.  This post is a little sketchy–so if this is the first one you are reading, and it seems like I am skipping a few steps, I suggest you could look at the previous posts in this series.  Not only…

Young Frankenstein: Peasant Girl #6

The outfit for Peasant Girl #6 was a fairly quick upgrade, and required very little additional fabric, which is a plus if you don’t happen to have any lying around.  I also did something a little different with the blouse, which, while (somewhat) unintentional, didn’t turn out half bad–and has given me a few other…

Young Frankenstein: Peasant Girl #5

This post is about the 5th Peasant Girl outfit I made for “Young Frankenstein”.   I think this is my favorite one.  This particular tablecloth was floral with a plaid border.  I love the large print and the built-in detail created by the border–with no additional work on my part.  I don’t use a lot…

Young Frankenstein: Peasant Girl #4, with circle skirt musings

And here we are, in the fourth installation of the seven part “Peasant Girl” series from Young Frankenstein.  For this outfit I went back to the round tablecloth method of making a skirt, and if I do say so myself, I think it turned out pretty cute. Circle Skirt Musing: I want to talk a…

90 minutes or less: Old Woman, Peasant, Villager Raised-waist Costume (plus size)

This next costume is a quick & dirty costume that I made in less than 90 minutes one night–finishing shortly after midnight.  I originally wasn’t going to post about it, but, I like how it turned out, and so I thought the idea was worth sharing.  Please bear with the after-the-fact pictures.  I think you…

Young Frankenstein: Peasant Girl #2

After completing my first Young Frankenstein: Peasant Girl #1 costume I was having a good time and decided I needed to make a thrift store run to look for some inspiration.  I was hoping to find some white shirts, and maybe a vest or two, and some skirt possibilities.  I really liked the border tablecloth and thought…
