Child Cowgirl Costume

- Have to sew a cowgirl costume TODAY. NEED HELP!?
My 9 year old daughter decided to be a cowgirl for Halloween. She couldn't decide and when she finally did I couldn't find a costume anywhere and I didn't like the prices online. So now I have to make it and make it today. They trick or treat EARLY in our area (Tuesdsay 10/26). And I need to do this on a very tight budget so i'm working with cloth and materials I already have on hand. Ok here are details: She wants this style of costume http://www.costumeexpress.com/Cowgirl-Cutie-Child-Tween-Costume/70416/ProductDetail.aspx?REF=SCE-CEbizrate or even this one http://www.costumeexpress.com/Cowgirl-Cutie-Child-Tween-Costume/70416/ProductDetail.aspx?REF=SCE-CEbizrate You may have to copy and paste that if the link doesn't work in this post. I know I can't sew one that looks that good and the fabric I'll be using is really not that great but I hope to do the best that I can with what I have. I can sew a little. I do have a machine. But I do not know sewing terms or have a lot of "tools" to work with as far as special feet for the machine, special cutting mats, no zippers, etc. What I have for materials is a pink cowgirl hat I found at the Dollar Tree, a light weight pink cotton vest, a ton of leftover ligh tweight cotton flannel fabric I plan to dye pink, and elastic. I may be able to find some embelishments packed away somewhere. So, can anyone give me tips? What kind of skirt to cut : A line or Circle skirt? I want it kept as simple sewing wise as possible. Sorry to spring this on you for help so last minute...I have just come to my wit's end with the costume search and this is my last resort. Thank you so much!

A No special tools or presser feet needed. You can make the ruffle for the bottom of the skirt buy stitching the longest stitch your machine will do and then pull the bobbin thread to create a ruffle.

- What were your little ones or your costume?
What costume did you or your child wear? My nieces and nephews were princesses, pirates, cowgirls, and other things. I saw a cute little costume, a little baby dressed up like a christmas present.
