This year I am going to two Halloween parties, one on the Sunday and one on Monday (actual Halloween), therefore I have come to the decision that I need two different outfits! But there is a problem, I've had loads of uni work to do recently so I haven't got much time/inventiveness to spare so they'll have to be quick and easy.
So these are my plans:
Costume 1: Devil
I haven't dressed up as a devil in aaaages. Vampire is normally my "go-to" Halloween costume and I always through devil is so overdone but as I am lacking in time, I thought I may as well bite the bullet, so to speak. My plan is this; transform a (very) old red dress into a more wearable style and buy some horns and a trident. Normally I'd make my horns because it's cheap and easy, but I couldn't find any cheap hairbands to use as the base so I had to buy ready made horns. Ok, so it may not look great, and I may have created a franken-dress but its better than nothing!
Costume 2: Plastic surgery reject
This is my stroke of genius. I have bought 10 stretchy bandage rolls and am going to wrap my head up, leaving one eye ad my mouth free so I can see and drink. I am also going to make a bandage dress! And what I mean by that is be super lazy and wear a bandeau top and skirt and literally wrap myself up in bandages. Then add some strategic fake blood, red lips and "cut here" lines and voilà!
Clever eh? You'll have to forgive me for my cop-out devil outfit though. But it does give me an excuse to try out my new super-duper sewing machine! (Thanks mum and dad!)
