when i was very young, (early 1970's) my aunt made my sister and i the most beautifully crafted clown costumes! big billowy bright green base, lots of big felt round colorful circles, white zigzag rickrack around the arm cuffs and leg bands. some other details i cant recall now! along with a matching tall pointy hat that fell over to one side with large white pom pom at the end. they were the most adorable costumes ive ever seen! and all hand made to perfection.
kicker is, i hate clowns!!! dont know why! nothing related to this costume as the were absolutely precious!
