Got an purple clothes? Violet Beauregarde from Charlie & the Chocolate factory?

Alice in wonderland?

Snow white?

Horrible aunt from James & the Giant Peach?

Maisy Mouse (Big white paper snout & ears?)

The witch from Room on a Broom (or any other witch book!) - lots of Halloween stuff available right now!

Any of the Princesses

Dora in purple shorts, etc. - there are books as well as the programme

Mary Poppins

our primary school had their book day ;last week (odd i know) teacher was mog (cat from meg and mog) and nursery nurse was the worst witch.

A friend of mine did the school run on foot dressed as Jane Austen you wimp robinpud...!
The White Witch from the Narnia Chronicles?
Erm...Miss Hoolie?

I did Winnie the Witch a couple of years ago, but you do need stripy tights and a hat! My TA came as the little old lady in the gingerbread man (talc in hair, pinny, mop cap etc) and she had a cardboard gingerbread man in her pocket. She hid him in the classroom at different times of the day for the children to find - they loved it.

Other ones I've done... Burglar Bill's wife (stripy t-shirt, swag bag etc), and my favourite was Mrs Wobble the waitress (Alhberg happy familys), with mop hat and pinny again.... and a jelly on a plate.

thanks everyone
Gladbag- I like the little old lady one a lot; was also thinking of Mrs Wobble and trying to rememember whether fishing net was handy and if dd's roller skates would fit!
am off to check the dressing up basket downstairs but keep them coming...

Ok- have pinny but not mop cap.
Will go and text people who might have a mob cap...torn between gingerbread old woman and Mrs Wobble..
Also could do Funny Bones again which was white skeleton bits pinned to black top and trousers

whilst heavily pregnant was the cat who liked to hide in boexes with large box on and cat costume.. slightly tricky to sit down in..

I know someone is already doing a witch, not surprisingly.
I love the idea of little old woman but the olny dolls I have are Barbies or Tiny tears which wolud be a little heavy..
anyone with a mob cap handy please?!
