So it was okay, but it could have been better. Wendy has a very specific hairstyle but I couldn’t afford a $100+ wig at the time. The first time I wore the costume, I styled my own hair and…it wasn’t great. My friend Amber made my bow, and I got an acorn kiss necklace from a site called Whosits and Whatsits! I wanted the fullness, so full circle it was. If you watch the movie, you can see that there’s a lot of fullness in the skirt, and too often (even in the parks) her dress is cut as plain, slightly gathered panels. The puff sleeve is also very small and delicate like this, which I think is more Wendyish. The sleeve is pleated at the hem and fully lined, so it doesn’t need a cuff or elastic. Luckily Simplicity 1873 had the perfect sleeve pattern. I wasn’t fully happy with the fit, but it looked nice. I heavily adapted the bodice of Simplicity 1873, making it a wide boatneck, eliminating the darts in favor of gathering the front of the bodice, and making it one solid piece in the back instead of a closure. And of course I trimmed the bloomers with eyelet, because that’s who I am as a person. I just knew that I wanted a very specific look- I wanted a full circle skirt, I didn’t want a back closure, I wanted puff sleeves without a cuff, and I wanted a lightweight cotton.īut of course I started with bloomers. I had wanted to cosplay as Wendy for literally years, and I finally bit the bullet for Akaicon in 2016. She’s one of my favorite literary characters of all time. After that came the book, then the live action movie, then the Cathy Rigby version of Peter Pan (which I actually saw live when I was eighteen, and I bawled the whole time), and then the Disney Peter Pan. I have loved Wendy Darling since I was a toddler- although, truth be told, I discovered her first through the Mary Martin version of Peter Pan.
