Fake braids

Another carnaval costume I made before. M wanted it so much, because we were into the fairytale period. I used a real pattern, even in English, which was quite hard to understand. The cape is made out of woolen fabric, the color of the lining is purple. The evening before a little drama happened: she yelled disappointedly that she looked like a witch! The cape turned out to be far too long. You understand I was busy till late that night to correct it.
She especially loved her fake braids at that time. How could she know about her beautiful real ones of today?
