We began with sketches to design the characters. We decided to turn Dorothy into a Gothic Lolita. We originally hoped that a black and white gingham dress we ordered would arrive in time for the display. As we neared the deadline, we decided that Maureen had better begin working on one just in case. So, she created a circle skirt from black and white gingham, and we used a white shirt we had in stock, and we preempted the red belt we had originally slated for the "lion". Kris made a gorgeous gothic necklace from red nylon chain and black aluminum chain. A great wig find and some fab black and red gauntlets solidified Dorothy's kick-ass status. THEN, Kris came across the red Dorothy shoes in a Spencer's gifts store in Mansfield, and the outfit was finalized. A robo dog as Toto completed the look.
