![]() (see pictures) I had a last minute idea for a little added originality. I used blue felt strips (same color as patch-different lengths) and glued two on each part of the square. The last step was putting the little stitch lines on the patch. She made a simple circle shape and sewed it just enough while leaving enough to stuff for shape. ![]() While I was doing this, my “Jessica” was making the tail out of some of the white fur. I found these giant yellow buttons at Jo-Anne as well and they were perfect! A little hot glue to the front of the suspenders (right above the silver clip that attaches them to the pants) and that’s all it took to make my unique Roger Rabbit pants! wait! All rabbits have a tail, right? Before we did the tail, I cut out a nice-sized square of blue felt and glued it to the pants. They screamed Roger Rabbit! So I opted out of making homemade suspenders and chose these for originality. While I was in a Halloween City store, I saw these red suspenders with white hears all over them. After that, she flipped them inside out to hide the seams. I wanted the overall part to lay right about the “boob line.” It took some trial and error, trying on and taking off, but once we found the right fit, she sewed the sides up making sure to make it narrower toward the top to give it the cartoon pant belled out shape. While cutting the outline, I made sure to leave extra room for sewing and hemming. I laid on top of it and she traced the outline of my body. We doubled the felt and laid it on the ground. I bought 2 yards of simple, inexpensive red felt from Jo-Anne Fabrics. The best part? They only cost $2.99!īecause my girl is such a quick-thinking, talented woman, (brownie points) designing the pants were not as hard as I expected. I took three black strips of felt for each foot and glued them to the top for the toe lines. She sewed the majority of the fur, and I used a hot glue gun to touch up and secure the loose pieces. We used some white Faux Fur to cover the slippers. ![]() (I wear a 9) But this made the appearance that I had big ol’ floppy feet. (B for “Bunny” feet.) I found these ugly boot style slippers, but they were brown. Of course, when you are looking for something, you usually will never find it! So I had to resort to Option B. I went to a Goodwill store on a mission to find the perfect big, white, fluffy, furry slippers they used to sell at any department store. Rogers Feet:īelieve it or not, the feet were fairly simple to complete. Not to mention a lot of patience to work with your significant other! Because we knew Roger would be the most difficult and time-consuming costume, that was the one we started first. A few yards of different colored felts, some white faux-fur, some polyester stuffing/filling, a mini glue gun, and some odds and ends listed below was all we needed. Most of the supplies were purchased at Jo-Anne Fabrics. Jessica’s costume was mostly store-bought items put together since it would take forever to hand make a sequin dress. So, here is our breakdown of our Jessica and Roger Rabbit costumes. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh? I’m all for preparation, but spontaneity sometimes brings the best ideas and results. The entire process took about two days…and we started on October 29 th. I am lucky to have been touched with creativity and an artistic hand and my girl (Cindy) is an awesome amateur “seamstress.” Or “sewist” as I called her, but was quickly corrected with the proper terminology. With some help from various websites and a much-needed viewing of the“Who Framed” movie, we were ready to begin. Our life resembles the movie characters in the way that she is a gorgeous, cute, classy, and unique woman and I am a clumsy, goofy, lovelorn and infatuated funny bunny! After a brief search of costumes online, we were unimpressed with quality, originality, and most of all…price! So, we decided to take matters into our own “paws” and hopped to it to design our own versions of the classic characters. People in the community know and refer to us by those names, so it is a big standing joke! It did not take long to figure out what we were going to be because our Facebook names are Jezzica Rabbitt and Roger Rabbitt (unique spelling included). Halloween was very special for us this year, mainly because it was both our first times going to a costume party as a couple.
