My nephew Casey loves playing dress-up, and one year out of the blue he wanted a Max costume! I was living in Cali at the time, and it happened to be summer so the hardest part of this costume was finding the sweat suit! So it’s perfect for Halloween =) I just sewed some white ears from felt and top stitched them into the hood. Then I found the perfect fuzzy tail from Jo-Ann’s and attached that to the bottom of the suit. I also made a little gold crown out of poster board that I glued the extra part of the fuzzy tail around to make it furry just like Max’s crown, but I seem to have lost those pictures!
If you want to go the extra mile, get white gloves and sew some felt claws to the end, and maybe even do little shoe covers with more claws for the feet. Casey loved growling in his Max costume! =)
