DD is going to be Snow White, at her request, for Halloween. My mom made her costume. She has asked that DS be Dopey, which is fine....but I cannot find a costume anywhere and I really don't have time/want to sew one. He wears a 2T. Even Etsy was a bust.

Team modified snuggy. Or quick and dirty style polar fleece costume. It would require no hemming as major indicated. Fold the fabric in half (this will be the shoulders and sleeves) cut out a T (the arms being the top of the T, the body the bottom). sew, staple or glue under the arms and down the sides. Cut a slit up the front and a hole for his neck. sew on some velcro to hold it shut and a little tie to cinch it at the waist!
Add a black belt with a gold buckle, or use a black ribbon with a big gold plain brooch or even a piece of yellow construction paper. And big gold buttons, from a craft store or made from construction paper or felt. Safety pin a couple of yellow felt elbow patches on the sweater if you have time.
Or go to Walmart or a craft store and get a big square piece of green cloth or felt. Cut a hold for his head, drape it over him, and use the black belt to cinch it closed and make modified sleeves. Add the leggings and the big gold buttons, plus the purple hat.
