I shared this dress a couple of weeks ago over at Louise’s “Sew Ready to Play” Game series….where we were asked to sew something based on our favorite game.
***********************************************************************
One of my favorite games growing up was the game CLUE. It was just so thrilling to move around the game board, going into mansion rooms and then taking those tiny weapons (those were so cool) to make “who dunnit” predictions until one person got to open that mystery envelope in the middle of the board. Ahhhh, those were the days…..
And then when the movie came out? Even more love for the game. I remember the first time I watched it was at a slumber party—and there were a bunch of tween girls all sitting around screaming every time the lights would go off during a scene. (Man, am I dating myself right now.)
But, back to the point. I LOVE the game clue. So, taking inspiration from my favorite character (I loved Colonel Mustard–weird, but true) I give you…..
I decided to make an outfit based on Miss Mustard….but a bit more tame (no weapons)….
The dress is simple front-button shirt dress with a piped peter pan collar, a piped belt and some vintage buttons that I recently scored. I love piping, it is such a simple but fun detail to add to any project and makes it look like you spent a lot more time than you did.
There is a previous collar tutorial HERE if you want to learn to add piping to your next project. And trust me, once you start with piping—-you will be piping EVERY. THING. (Sorry about that….)
I loved making this little dress. It was such a fun project to think about the CLUE characters….and you just might be seeing more inspiration from the character cards soon. Wouldn’t a Miss Scarlett outfit be so fun?
I need to know…..who was your favorite clue character?
It’s so cute! It would even make a cute adult dress!

SOOOO great! and I loved Miss Scarlett 🙂
Oh my gosh, once again, I am just in love with your costume ideas!
Ha, would you believe that I tried to be obsessed with the game (and the movie) but my mother refused to let me have anything to do with Clue!
Oh, that dress is so adorable! I love love love it. Nice work! 🙂
