Costumes by Joanna
Ugly, Drake the dad, the ducklings, and Ida the mama
Many of these costumes were pulled or bought. I lucked out by finding the duckling dresses right away at Walmart. The mom, dad, and Ugly were all pulled/consignment store finds.


The cat originally was going to be a girl in a black leotard and skirt, but a boy was cast so the costume was changed to make him look more like a magician. He had a white oxford, red bow tie, black jacket, pants, hat and tail. All items were donated by various kids and myself.

The geese squadron. The director wanted the geese to have goggles which I had one of the kids paint during art time to match the camo pants. The scarves added to the aviator effect of the costume and the camouflage made them look like the squadron they were supposed to be part of. I tried to keep the colors in realm of geese colors, except for Barnacles the goose who was supposed to be a little different had blue camo pants. The leader of the geese I gave a camo shirt, and his wife is wearing the skirt with black tights to make her legs look more like a goose.

Froglets, Frog, and Ugly. I bought green T-shirts and during art showed the kids how to cut and tie them into dresses. They also had a lot of fun making the glittery green belts. I found the green leggings from a dance catalog and green pants for the boy. The head frog was supposed to be ugly so she had a tweed jacket over a green jumpsuit the theatre had. We tried covering hats I found at a tag sale with glitter, but these ones from Party City looked much nicer. Check out the frog's eyes, also from the party store!


The Blizzard people and swans. The Father Swan and Ugly's swan costume just needed a little altering, but had been used in a previous show. Some of the kids painted baseball hats for the swan beaks, as well as other animal beaks for the show. The white tutus were courtesy of Christian Academy of Dance and looked fabulous!
