DIY Eponine Costume from Les Mis

Julia and her friends always come up with an amazing theme for All Hallows Eve costumes! They are usually easy, DIY costumes. Her DIY Eponine costume from Les Miserables is one of my favorites!

DIY Eponine costume

Julia came up with the idea for this DIY Eponine costume and I just love how it turned out. She pieced the outfit together from her closet and found the trenchcoat Goodwill.

She looked up how to make a Cockade Rosette Pin on youtube and made her own with scrap fabric.

Brief history behind the tricolor cockade: Shortly after the Bastille fell, the tricolor cockade became the symbol of the French Revolution. Later it was adopted by the Republic, and hence also worn during the Paris uprising of 1832. The traditional colors of Paris were red and blue – red for Saint Denis and blue for Saint Martin. The white represents the French nation.

It was such an easy costume to put together, for such a fun night. They sang the soundtrack and quoted lines and made the entire neighborhood sing along!

She found this video to help her make the pin, and it turned out perfectly:

I always love her themes and can’t wait to see what they are planning on doing this year!
