White-Swan Costume

This getup, starting with a leotard (start with a white ruffled option from Leotard Boutique (from $11, leotardboutique.com), which works well past the holiday) and tights, is fowl play at its best. Two pieces of felt (we sourced ours from Mood Fabrics ($9 a yard, moodfabrics.com))—form the head, black and orange felt finish the face, and a cape—pinned at the top or secured with Velcro—begs to be flapped. For cygnet feet, top the tights with black knee socks and shoes (Mary Janes look particularly sweet). It all comes together with the help of our downloadable template.
