Because I know you’ve been waiting with bated breath…here’s what I’m thinking for Kendrick and I this Halloween: Buttercup and Westley immediately after their escape from the Fire Swamp (ROUS-bloodied shoulder and all). I know it’s not the most earth-shatteringly original idea ever, but I LOVE The Princess Bride (my parents’ new kitten is even named Westley), and I also think it’s kinda…well, hot.

The Westley costume will be easy enough to create (although I suspect pouring Kendrick into a pair of black tights will prove to be challenging), but I need a red cloak-type gown (v-neck, wide sleeves, loose body). I’ll scour the Salvation Army this weekend, but I’m thinking I’ll probably end up making the thing myself. Anyone have any super-simple sewing patterns that might work?
