This costume is the Schweetz-est thing.

For the leggings:

• Fabric glue the 1/8” purple ribbon to the center of the 7/8” white ribbon
• Fabric glue this ribbon to the right leg of the leggings in a spiral from top of the leggings to the hem
• Fabric glue the 5/8” white ribbon to the left leg of the leggings in a spiral (at a steeper angle) from the top of the leggings to the hem

For the skirt:

• Use the black skirt or sew your own pleated skirt with the following instructions:
• Make 2, ¼ circle skirt patterns with butcher paper or newspaper
• (C=2 x pi x r) The circumference is the total waist measurement
• Find the radius using the formula
• Make a ¼ donut circle pattern using the radius measurement for the inner circle
• Pattern 1 will be 7.5” long (measurement from inner circle to outer circle)
• Pattern 2 will be 6” long (measurement from inner circle to outer circle)
• Fold ¼ circle pattern into half (vertically), then another half and another half to create evenly spaced accordion pleats
• Spray the brown cotton fabric with heavy starch spray and iron to stiffen
