Dress Like the Famous Aviator - Amelia Earhart

I grew up in Kansas, so naturally Amelia Earhart was a hero to me. Actually her flying achievements and the mystery surrounding her disappearance and death still intrigue people.

For Halloween or any other costume event, you can dress like this famous aviator from generations ago. I've assembled a variety of pieces to achieve the Amelia Earhart look. I hope it simplifies it for you to put together your Amelia Earhart costume.

    What a unique idea for a costume! Thanks--I'd never have been able to think of all that was needed. She was certainly a woman ahead of her time, and a great woman for all times!
