Jack In The Green Costume

My Mayday Costume for the Jack in the Green Festival
This costume is literally made out of off cuts. Net curtains (dipped in tea), heavy curtains and linings. I had a load of fake greenery hanging around from other projects over the years (which I dug out of the shed). All the skirts (there's 4 layers including the bustle) are simple tube construction and either left hanging or tacked up to create bustles, tucks and swags. The top is from a charity shop...I hacked the neck off and the bib at the front is just a cheap lace doilie....dipped in tea to match the skirts. The only expense really was the corset...but I use it a lot so well worth the 30 pounds :-)
PS Thats my 13 year old son in his altered 3 piece grey tux (charity shop find) which goes between the JITG festival and his Steampunk look...it just gets revamp :-)
