I'm actually dressing up as American McGee's Alice myself. She's so awesome! The way I'm doing it, I basically drew out the dress and the pattern pieces I would need to make it, took measurements, etc., applied measurements, and cut them all out from scratch. After that, it's just sewing it together, which is where I am now. You can get plain fabric anywhere, so the materials are easy to find. If you're not that experienced with sewing, you might want to try looking for similar patterns you could use or check thrift stores for dresses or aprons you could alter.

alice is definitely awesome! your way of putting the dress together sounds divine, so thank-you very much for that. i'm going to have to make a trip to the fabric store soon, i suppose. maybe my grandma will help me. anyway, i'd love to see pictures of the finished product. xoxo.

I'll definitely post pictures when I finish it.
Good luck with your project. If you need any help with anything, feel free to ask. :)

la jupe est tres belle! so lovely. so that means i could either make my own, or be lazy and buy one. hmm...decisions decisions.

the clothing does look well made on her site. and $60 for the wonderland dress is a very reasonable price indeed.
