comments:
I always adored this movie when I was little, I used to watch it several times.
The actress Julie Andrews has such an amazing voice and the songs/ settings were an inspiration for me. :D

This dress/outfit was chosen because I like the combination lace/Victorian so much.

As this was quite rare to cosplay, I asked my friend Tom to be my Bert.
It was an amazing time and I still have much respect for our nanny. ;-)
Tom and I had a wonderful time, we enjoyed it a lot!
Little children and grandparents were fond of us.

I chose tea roses because they go to drink tea at Teas. (the name of the place with the penguins).

The parasol head was changed 3 times.
First because I made the parrot head, secondly because I thought it was a flamingo (pink etc) and lastly it was another birds’ head.
Mainly because it was difficult to see what type of bird it was on the pictures.

In London they were fond of the idea. I never expected that they all would recognize it! ^_^

More pictures will be added when we went to a photoshoot with the completed versions!
