My friend Jodi created this brilliant chicken costume for Martha Stewart's Kids magazine. When Lila was a baby Lauren dressed her in this costume for her first Halloween and she won first prize in a local costume photo contest by Roberto Falck. The photo (left) was taken by Roberto that day.

 

The costume is so simple to make - you just dress your baby in a white one piece and white tights or pants and wrap a white feather boa around the torso, securing it with safety pins. A pilot cap is adorned with a comb made from a small piece of red felt - that is the only sewing involved. Yellow rubber gloves make great chicken feet.

 

Lauren plans to dress Noah as a chicken this year...so cute!
