Dana’s Costume

Dana was an extremely curious and adventurous little girl who imagined all kinds of prehistoric creatures into real life so that she could better understand their behaviour. Her clothing was perfect for a young paleontologist and explorer. She often transformed herself to look like the creatures she was studying. On top of her main costume, here you can see the crocheted hood, claws, backpack and tail that turned Dana into a Tyrannosaurus rex.
