the pumpkin queen gown
Costumes Designed by Amanda Jenkins
While working at Kings Dominion, I was often asked to construct garment for other parks. This includes the pumpkin queen gown from the Tricks and Treats parade. This gown was inspired by the Katrina Von Tassel gown from Sleepy Hollow (costumes designed by Colleen Atwood). This gown needed to be easily alterable as I would not be able to fit or see the actress wearing it, and the garment would be fit and finished by the Carowinds costume shop. The gown also needed to transfowm from day to night. How I achieved this was by having the actress remove the skirt for the night time look and attach a pointed tail piece to the front.
