Mary Poppins
A 1964 musical fantasy Disney film, set in 1910 [Edwardian fashion era].
I’ve just finished working on a Poppins theatre show, and still had had the music in my bones.
I wanted to make this outfit because I can't get the song 'Anything Can Happen' out of my head.
I made the skirt completely from scratch, Not even a sewing pattern, and it only took a weekend to sew. It’s lined, floor length and has a pocket. It feels great, but I think it could be More historically accurate if it didn't have so many pleats on the front half. I've done a similar more-historical look, check out my Edwardian walking outfit. I do a lot of mostly-historical stuff these days.
The blouse was purchased and the ribbon bow was added. I had the umbrella, and I had made the carpet bag myself some time ago as a prop [it's made of a cardboard box].
This wasn't a difficult costume, but I realize that its not immediately identifiable as Mary, since she rarely wears just her blouse/skirt, usually she wears an apron or has a long coat with it.
Costume consists of: blue long skirt, striped button shirt, black hat.
