Dalmatian forever

You may remember this dog costume from a few years ago, as it played a big part in my book project of first year – The Child Who Wanted to Be… At the time of doing the project I asked my dad to have a look for the costume for me, in the loft at home, but sadly he said that it had been thrown out years ago.

But no! He found it. So I have been reunited with my 6 year old self who wanted nothing more than to have a pet dog, and when I couldn't have that I settled for being the dog myself.

The head part of the costume still fits perfectly (so my head hasn't grown since I was 6?) For this reason it is tempting to cut the head away from the body and keep it as a hat but… I don't want to spoil the full costume.
