Lily costume FAQ
- How do I make the lily petals stand out?
- Use stiff white felt, craft foam, or back your fabric with iron-on interfacing so the petals flare outward instead of hanging flat.
- Can I make a Tiger Lily version instead?
- Yes! Swap the white skirt for bright orange petals and use a black fabric marker to paint the characteristic dark spots onto the petals.
- Is this costume comfortable for walking around?
- Very. Using a stretchy green bodysuit and a lightweight felt or fabric skirt allows for full mobility and comfort all day.
Did you know? While beautiful, true lilies (from the genus Lilium) are highly toxic to cats, making this safe, synthetic costume version the perfect way for cat lovers to enjoy the flower.
