Typically, a variety of Halloween outfits are prepared in advance, because this is one of the most interesting and colorful carnival parties. You can go to specialized stores and buy something like that, or you can rent it (also a good option, given that next October 31 you want to dress up as someone else). However, if there is a desire, time and a drop of ability, most of the outfits can be made on their own, while spending very little money and effort. This can be both witches and zombies with ghouls, fairies, leprechauns, angels and demons, any otherworldly creatures and even pirates and personalities from the Middle Ages. However, the presence of one character remains traditionally unchanged. So, make a skeleton costume.
Why is he
This image, despite the well-known gloominess and noticeable plaque of sepulchral yearning, is one of the most popular on Halloween, and besides, it can very easily be made from handy tools lying in your own closet. There can be a great variety of skeletons - from sexy beauties in mini dresses to the beautiful Dead Bride from the famous cartoon with the voice of Johnny Dapp. The costume consists of clothes and makeup (the latter is not a necessary element at all).
What you need: option number 1
So how to make a skeleton costume? We climb into the closet and conduct an audit. We need a black swimsuit and black leggings, or a black tracksuit, white adhesive tape, plaster or white paint on fabric, powder or whitewash, black eyeliner. We put on all of the above, glue or draw bones, cover the face with whitewash, and reduce bruises under the eyes. Everything, you can go on a holiday.
Option number 2
A wonderful skeleton costume can also be constructed from this set: we take a black turtleneck, the same color pants, Czechs, black gloves, a hat that will become an imitation of a skull. The color scheme can be classic, that is, black and white, and maybe alternative, for example, yellow-blue or blue-red (although such options are less common). The skull needs two pieces of fabric, black and white.
Getting to work
The skeleton costume in this embodiment is done as follows: using a pattern or directly on the eye, draw the bones of the chest, spine, pelvis and limbs (or cut them out of white fabric and sew on black clothes). For the skull we take the prepared fabric, we sew a pipe from it, the top of which we sew. It looks like a hat. We make slits for our eyes, sew the cranial bones from white fabric, put on the head and fill the lower edge with a turtleneck. You can sew it to the collar for fidelity. In principle, making a skeleton costume with your own hands, you can take clothes with a hood, and do not cover your face with a mask, and paint - this will also be spectacular.
Option number 3
The skeleton costume in the first and second versions is suitable for both adults and children. Girls can wear black leggings with painted bones and a short dress, open or closed - as you like. The skeleton costume in the form of a hoodie, on which bones are painted, looks no worse.
