Pan Am Costume
About 5 years ago I found a awesome Pan American World Airways travel bag at a thrift store so I was super excited to be able to use it this year for this costume. Inspired by the Pan Am TV show and so easy to make!!!
Getting Ready With the Materials to Sew
Materials :
Blue fabric
White fabric for collar
Pattern for a blazer and skirt
http://www.simplicity.com/p-5832-misses-miss-petite-sportswear.aspx this is the pattern that I used.
White trim for the hat
Gloves
1 gold button
Thread
... then any fun accessory/prop for that vintage look.
Lay out your pattern for the blazer and the skirt - cut out then sew your 2 basic pieces for the costume. For the white collar, I just used the same pattern piece and cut it out with the white fabric then attached it to the finished jacket - so easy!
Making the Signature Hat
Cut out your fabric on the pattern - add the white trim on the outside of the hat and to wing. Once finished add a gold button to your wing on the hat.
Finished
You are all done - put on some retro inspired makeup to finish the look and then your ready to go!!!!
Happy Halloween everyone.
