So this year, we’re on our game! We combed through the internet to find everything from funny costumes to cute costumes to DIY costumes to - you get it. Second, say, “Hey babe, let’s be (fill in the blank) for Halloween!!” And finally, forget every single idea you had come September. We’re ALSO ready to dress up and have some FUN! But if you’re like us, your year goes something like this: First, randomly think of the best couples Halloween costumes all year long. This costume was time consuming but worth every minute!! It was a HUGE success, I came in first place in a costume contest and won $200.Halloween is on the horizon and we’re ready for our annual free pass to buy candy in bulk. The dress was quite short in the front so I found a satin material skirt at the thrift store and it matched with my dress perfect so I used that to make the illusion of the dress being the correct length for me. I had my boyfriend wear a suit and carry a bloody toy axe to be my groom that chopped off my head!! I wore a white scarf around my neck so the lace wasn’t so itchy all night. I then dressed the torso put into the dress and cut a hole for my head to stick out of. I inserted green foam blocks into the backpack for the doll rods to stick into for extra support. I used four dowel rods duct taped like crazy to the outer side of the torso. I hold glued them to the upper part of the arms. I ended up cutting the arms off and using white opera gloves for the arms, I stuffed them and used pipe cleaners for the fingers to give them flexibility. I dumped fake blood on it and allowed that to dry. I then used hot glue on top of the neck to make it appear like guts were coming out. I used a paper bowl upside to make the neck form. After it completely dried I painted it white. After duct taping it I paper mached the body with a flour and water mixture. I stuffed it with stuffing so I had the form of the upper body, I then removed it and started to duct tape the form. I started making this costume by putting a long sleeve shirt inside of the upper portion of the dress. This is my costume I home made this year! I wanted something visually stunning that would make people do double takes and wonder how I pulled it off.
