It's World Book Day on March 6. What inspired (or desperate) costume feats have you pulled off in the past? Post your pictures (old or new) here and on Friday 14 March we'll put all the entries into a pot and pluck four out. The winner will receive a wonderful Hugless Douglas bear and three runners up will each receive a bundle of books from World Book Day authors.

If you are stuck for ideas visit our World Book Day page for some great suggestions from mumsnetters and Book Aid International.

Our primary doesn't do this nonsense so I have no photos to submit.

Half the girls in DD's primary (inc DD) were wearing pale blue Cinderella dresses refashioned as Alice dresses :)

Ds as 'The Boy in the Dress' (brave choice considering most of year 6 didn't bother). looked like Mia Farrow Grin
dd1 as Lucy as an evacuee fro 'The lion, witch and the wardrobe'
dd2 in her sister's Rapunzel dress (nursery were very last minute telling us, and I didn't have a bear costume for 'Bear hunt' Grin )

Here is our little one dressed up as "Wheels on The Bus" which is her favourite book at the moment. It only took me a week of nights to do it, once she had gone to bed!
