Matador Costume for UN Day

Spanish Matador

The day i learned that my son will be representing Spain for the upcoming UN DAY celebration at their montessorri, i immediately went to work with my hands in googling Spanish costumes for kids. I found photos of Spanish dancers with colorful raffles but i don't want my boy to wear those.. that will look good on girls but not on my boy.. also some sites suggested Zoro / bandido outfits but I think thats not a good example to kids..so that one is one.. and then finally.. the MATADOR.. manly, brave, warrior just like the meaning of my son's name..Andre. Perfect!

And so yesterday, while waiting for my husband to pick me up, i took advantage of where I am.. I was at Market Market! and decided to go to the department store.. unfortunately, no Matador costume.. there were Spanish dancer costume for girls though. I passed by some Halloween costume for kids and I saw a Bandido costume. And so an idea came up! If I can't find a Matador costume, I'll make one myself.

I was so excited with the idea that I went online using my mobile phone right there and then and search for some inspirations. Again though google. And so I picked up the Bandido costume.. I'll  make use of the black pants, black cape and will cut the black longsleeve shirt to make it as a vest. Then I headed to the bookstore and  bought some gold laces and shiny golden ribbons to accessorize the costume. I just need a while long sleeve polo shirt and a black necktie and i'm good..

I can't wait to start this project.. I just hope it will turn out great.

this is the finished product i hope to achieve.
