Practically Perfect in Every Way! That's how I remember Mary Poppins. Her impecable style, her perfectionism, and her beauty.

"In every job that must be done there is an element of Fun! You find the fun and... SNAP! The job's a game!" Mary Poppins.

Who knows me, knows I love Mary Poppins so much. Mary was part of my childhood, actually, I don't know how anybody can make it through childhood without this classic. In our home we even named a meal after Mary.

My mother was also a fan of Mary Poppins, she was probably 4 o 5 years old when the movie came out. My grandmother made her one of the dresses from the movie for one of her roller skate performances. We still have this dress today (see below).

That dress got a lot of love and countless ours of playing dress up... and when I couldn't fit in it anymore, I made my brothers wear it. I really wanted a sister, so that was the closest I would get to have one. I was probably quite bossy (perdoneu germans!! :D)

Ryan and I decided to be Bert and Mary for this year's Halloween. This has always been one of my dreams (it's the little things) and I decided to make my costume from scratch.

We chose the scene below, one of my favorites of the movie:

I began my search for a similar pattern that I could use as a reference. I knew I would have to do some changes to it but I found the top and the bottom patterns from McCall's; for the jacket this one and for the skirt this one .
