Often, girls at the carnival decide to wear a pirate costume. Do it yourself is quite simple. The main thing is to emphasize the main features of the outfit of corsairs.
Distinctive features of a female pirate outfit
What should be remembered in order to make a pirate costume do-it-yourself beautiful, elegant, and so that everyone immediately knows who the girl portrays at the carnival?
The features of this outfit are that the pirates are, firstly, sailors, and secondly - robbers. There is another important detail: being robbers, pirates had a weakness for jewelry, leather and velvet robes, and bright fabrics. Therefore, in order to build a pirate costume with your own hands, you need to get an old vest or striped cloth, a wide-brimmed hat, high boots, better boots, a leather vest, bright chiffon or nylon scarves, wide belts and belts from the pantry or from the mezzanines with buckles, a bandana, large shiny jewelry and weapons - you can use children's toy sabers, swords, swords, muskets, pistols and the like.
DIY pirate costume with vest
If there is a vest and high boots, then the issue with the suit can be said to have already been resolved, all other items will only be an addition to it. You can wear leggings or trousers, shorts or breeches, a skirt or Bermuda to the vest - this is a secondary issue.
One of the options for the outfit is a robber. Then it is recommended to turn the bottom of the skirt into rags, cut holes in the vest, and put on a black blindfold on the eye. A bird toy on his shoulder perfectly complements the image of a sort of bloodthirsty pirate ataman.
Outfit for pirate coquette
The situation is more complicated if there is no vest. In this case, you will have to make a pirate costume with your own hands, based on other distinctive features of this outfit. And it will be a hat or bandana, applique on clothes in the form of a skull and bones (you can even draw an emblem with white paint), a wide belt with a large metal buckle.
A pirate coquette can put on a leather vest or a long-cuffed velvet camisole, a short skirt or shorts and high over-the-knee boots, remove hair under a bandana, hat or loosen it, grabbing a ribbon on the forehead. You can make such a pirate costume with your own hands, the photo of which is presented here: with an uneven asymmetrical bottom of the skirt, a bright scarf-scarf tied on the hips, with a low-necked blouse, the sleeves of which are quite wide and pulled around the wrist by a drawstring, and with a vest that completes the general look.
Pirate Weapon
But it may happen that there are no toy weapons in the house. In this case, you can make it yourself. As an option, a curved short saber, which can be easily made of cardboard, is wonderful.
Having drawn on the cardboard, for example, from the box from under the sweets or cookies, the outline of the blade and the handle, it should be cut with a sharp knife. Then the blade needs to be glued with foil, and the handle wrap with electrical tape. Rhinestones, old brooches, chains, bright buttons and other “sparkles” glued to the handle will imitate the inlay of weapons with precious stones.
Can also be cut out of cardboard and musket. Putting together two templates, they can easily be wrapped with electrical tape and covered with black paint. "Encrusting" a musket with improvised shiny things is not only forbidden, but also welcome!
