I am looking for creative ideas for costuming the caterpillar and the cheshire cat. I went with multiple actors (5 for the caterpillar...one main and 4 for the body) and need ideas for costumes that keep them looking like one being but allow movement and dancing. As for the cats, I don't want a typical furry cat costume with a big head. I would like something cute and colorful (my actors are all middle school girls). Any ideas, patterns, suggestions would be helpful!
