The Dandy Pirate

Jamie is partaking in The Big Toddle this week and the theme is Pirates. So I started his costume today with a piratey top...


And some britches...


For the record, he is stoked.


Maia? Devastated she doesn't have one. Not like she doesn't loathe the doctor's coat that I made for her birthday and refuses to wear. Steven? Unconvinced that this is a genuine pirate look and not just a dandy. So I guess I have to butch it up a bit. So what do you think? Waistcoat? Eye-patch? Bandana head? Less feminine top? Sigh.

    Eye patch for sure. The waiscoat sounds great too. And ofcourse a scarf around his head. And what about some (fake) earrings? And a hook to pretend like it's his hand?

    But I think that even without all those extras he looks like a dangerous pirate already!

    i'd go with a bandana . an eye patch will either be lost/ taken off/ impair his binocular vision .

    like the idea of an hook!

    I love the top, just add an eye parch, bandana and tash and he will be perfect

    I'd go for a waistcoat and bandana or eyepatch...whichever he is most likely to keep on!

    The top is perfect! Waistcoat and red sash with fringe - very piratey.

    Is there time to find a beany baby parrot and sew it on the shoulder?

    A matching sash and bandanna would swash-buckle it up, too.

    A waist coat and a matching headscarf would finish that off nicely! Thanks for the reminder - my Missy Moo's Toddle Waddle this this week too! I'd forgotten about it.

    Great costume!! My kids love to dress up as pirates. You'll get a lot of use out of that costume!

    It does need an eye patch & maybe a parrot.
