On New Year's matinees, girls are most often convicted of the image of a Snow Maiden, Snowflake or Zimushki-Zima. Autumn ball is held in the costumes of Autumn or Princess. Growing up, girls dream of more daring and frank outfits for a variety of celebrations. In this article you will learn how to make one of such expressive and memorable costumes that will decorate any carnival party - a pirate costume.
Remember: in order to independently make any carnival costume, including a pirate outfit, you do not need to be able to sew perfectly. The main thing is the presence of imagination, everything else will follow.
What is needed in order to make a bright and memorable pirate costume? Firstly, you need to look through your entire wardrobe: any interesting details can become accessories that will highlight your outfit among others. There are several basic images of a pirate that any girl can do with her own hands. Depending on the available clothes, you will create the image you like.
Pirate costume with vest
If you have a vest lying around (as a memory of a vacation on the Black Sea last summer or as an inheritance from a papa-sailor), it's time to use it for creative purposes! It should be elongated, slightly covering the hips. Its bottom can be cut with scissors (cloves or even stripes). On top you can wear a wide belt or bandage the waist with a narrow piece of fabric. If the vest is wide on you, you can use two belts - one to put on under the chest, the other - just below the waist.
For this costume, you still need tight pants or leggings. The color can be any, but dark colors are preferred: black, dark gray, purple, blue. There may be patterns on the trousers, the main thing is that they are combined with the image of a pirate.
You can use a skirt instead of trousers - the costume will become more frank and cocky. The skirt should be either short, fluffy (with several linings), or a half sun style. The latter needs to be slightly modified: cut the bottom of the skirt curly with scissors . Wear high heeled boots on your feet, preferably with lacing. Voila, the pirate costume is ready! You will be simply irresistible.
Pirate costume with blouse
Each elegant girl will find a white elegant blouse - you will use it for this option. Add a wide black belt and many jewelry to your blouse - beads, metal chains, pendants. Bottom - black trousers or leggings, a black skirt can be an option . Do not forget about the high boots with heels. Twenty minutes - and your pirate costume is created.
Details are important!
Without the necessary accessories, a pirate carnival costume will be imperfect. A pirate hat, bandana or bandage should be on the head. A wide belt and high heeled boots are a must-have item. Remember about jewelry - pirates love them very much, and the more, the better! You can wear a blindfold, especially if you're preparing a pirate costume for Halloween. So, you will make your image more awesome. Do not forget about weapons: a saber, dagger, musketon - everything you find in the children's world can be used for your costume.
