While the boys are away, the ladies will play...ball! And while we know, we know, “there’s no crying in baseball,” we are here to tell you a little known secret: the world of competitive costuming is no different.
The battle of a costume competition is a cutthroat realm where skill, determination, and innovation are required. Much as the All American Girls Professional Baseball League took the country by storm, this A League of Their Own Deluxe Dottie Costume for Women will sweep the competition when you strut your cleats across the stage--eyeing the championship prize. The crowd will roar your name, “Dottie, Dottie, Dottie” until...Kit comes onto the stage. Then the competition really gets fired up. You know that Dottie sure was a real sweet peach, until you got her mad, that is. And Kit could get her really mad.
But you are here to play fair and square, so you ignore your sis and spin to show off this patch-adorned dress and adjustable red belt. You tip your matching ball cap to the judges table. You pull up the red knee-high leg warmers, and blow a little kiss. Then, you wow them all with your killer swing and a grand slam to left field. There may not be crying in baseball, but we may have been wrong about costumes. Because indeed, we do see some of your costumed competition in tears now that you’ve stepped on stage in this licensed look. They know they don’t stand a chance. And of course, it doesn’t hurt that one of the judges is Jimmy Dugan.
