If you follow me on Facebook you might have seen where I’m trying to keep track of just who my son, Jack thinks he is every day. First he was Batman and requested, “Batman french toast sticks” and “Batman ice water” for breakfast. The next day he was Spiderman. Then he was Raphael the Ninja Turtle and then finally at the end of the week he proclaimed that he was Flash Gordon. The kid loves to pretend and he loves superheroes, especially. It’s super cute. It’s funny because it’s so hard to keep track of who he is pretending to be at any given time and if you call him Jack or the wrong superhero, he will quickly correct you, politely of course. ;)
So when I saw the super cute superhero costumes that THIS Etsy had for sale in their shop a couple of months ago I just KNEW Jack would freak out about the awesome costumes that Marlis makes by hand.
I contacted Marlis and told her about my son’s love for any and all thing superheros (especially Ninja Turtles) and Marlis sweetly sent me a couple of costumes to review.
To say I was excited is an understatement. I mean – I just could NOT wait to see Jack’s face when I showed him these costumes. Marlis sent me the Batman costume and the Raphael Ninja Turtle costume.
I just wanted to give Jack one costume at a time because I knew he’d be SUPER excited and thought I’d give him Batman first and then wait about a week and then give him the other one – so that’s what I did. Just like I thought he squealed with excitement when I pulled out the Batman costume. ;)
The costume came with a super cute Batman cape, black mask, yellow Batman belt and two Batman wristbands. Jack LOVED it! Needless to say the kid did not take off the costume the rest of the day and then proceeded to put it on for the rest of the week. He even wanted to sleep in it! Ha! Oh, and when we went to Whole Foods he insisted on wearing it and the folks in the checkout line LOVED it. He carefully explained to them what each piece of the costume was and how he was Batman. It was so cute!
Here’s Jack enjoying the Batman costume:
Then a week later I pulled out the Raphael Ninja Turtle costume and that was a BIG hit, too! He immediately took off the Batman costume (sorry Batman) and asked for help putting all of this costume on. Currently Raphael is his favorite Ninja Turtle so he was a bit excited. ;)
This costume came with a super cute mask, wrist bands, ninja belt and turtle shell.
Both costumes were handmade with felt that looked and felt like a really high-quality felt. The stitching was great and I just loved the little pieces that each costume came with. How cute would these be for Halloween? Totally cute!
Jack wore both costumes A LOT. I mean – he lived in them, basically, going from one to the other. I think I can put these costumes on him in my sleep! Ha! The felt did get a lot of wear and I noticed that the felt had some pilling (felt balls on the surface of the fabric) since he wore them so much, but that is to be expected. Each costume had such great detail and was very durable!
I just love handmade things! I can tell that Marlis put a lot of time and love into these costumes. You can check out her shop HERE.
She has a wide variety of goodies in her shop and you can purchase the masks, capes, wrist bands and belts separately OR you can buy complete costumes and the pricing is great!
Definitely another great shop to check out and one that I wanted to share with my awesome readers! She’s working hard on Halloween orders right now, but definitely bookmark her shop and check back! She has a great variety of fun, felt costumes for boys and even girls! SO fun!
Have a great day and thanks again to Marlis for the super cute costumes! I think these will definitely be passed down to Luke! ;)
- Curly Q Bowtique is a sponsor of One Happy Mama and sent me these two costumes for my son to enjoy and for me to review. No other compensation was given and all thoughts and opinions of these goodies are my own. The little superhero in your family definitely needs one of these. :)
