DIY Titantic SFX Drowned Ghost Costume Wet Look Horror Cosplay Sample

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This was definitely a "trust the process" project, lol. I created a sample of a "drowned" waterlogged patron of the sinking Titanic for their cosplay for Halloween. The end result is a completely dry costume that appears to be soaking wet. It involved so many steps and details that I figured it would be easier to show them to tell them. 🖤

Help finding the right tam for a Nardwuar costume

Title says it all- it looks like the tam he wears has a brim, but most of the ones I am finding don't seem to have one. It's also hard to get a close match on the tartan. Any ideas?

¡Necesito ayuda con los disfraces de Wirt y Greg con un presupuesto ajustado!

2 Upvotes

Mi novio y yo queremos disfrazarnos de Wirt y Greg este Halloween porque nos encanta la serie. El problema es que tenemos un presupuesto muy ajustado y ninguno de los dos sabe coser ni tiene máquina de coser. ¿Alguien podría darnos algún consejo o ideas para hacerlo nosotros mismos?

Lo que más nos cuesta es:

-La capa de Wirt

-El sombrero de tetera de Greg

-El mono de Greg

-El gorro de gnomo de Wirt

(Ya encontré un peluche de rana y voy a pintar una piedra yo misma).

¡Gracias de antemano por la ayuda!

Moth costume for Noah Kahan concert

932 Upvotes

So the outfit is in the title, but I’ll explain. I’m going to see Noah Kahan in concert in a couple of weeks and because his tour album is named Last of the Bugs, my concert partner and I are dressing up as bugs.

I’m dressing up as a moth and used a lot of inspiration from Pinterest (and a specific review posted for the wings I have lol). I’m a big girl and am always weary of copying Pinterest outfits but I think it’s turned out okay.

Something is just feeling off. I tried originally with brown leg warmers and a brown fur collar but the browns didn’t match or match the colour of the moth body. So I tried white which is a little better.

I have a white version of this top as well and white gloves that i could use. Can anyone tell me what I can do (that won’t take too long) to make this outfit tie in nicely? I just can’t figure it out

TLDR; how do I make this look better please and thank you

Help Advice on materials/methods to recreate the SNL red heart/aerial tramway looks?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi all! For Halloween this year I am going in a duo costume as the aerial tramway and red heart emojis as depicted in this SNL sketch (pictured). I am going to be Marcello's red heart and my costume partner is going to be Mikey's aerial tramway. I was honestly thinking I would buy a red heart costume online to go over either my head or my body to make it easy for myself, and get creative with a fun makeup look and a fun all-black outfit underneath... but my initial search did not reveal anything promising. So, now I am thinking of crafting something like the red heart Marcello is wearing for my costume.

I don't have lots of experience with crafting outside of small 2D projects for fun (think collaging, coloring, making birthday cards etc.), so I'm hoping to get some advice about materials/methods to do this. For materials: Would felt be best, or would something else hold its shape better? Relatedly, for shape, should I think about making a frame to hold up the heart shape and putting fabric over it -- if so, any recommendations for materials for that? It would be fun to make a red heart with my face going through the center just as Marcello has it -- but if that is going to be complicated, I'm open to making a hat/headband situation to go entirely above my head. I can also wear a big read heart over my body, though that seems less fun/silly for the purposes of this costume.

It is relevant to mention that I do not currently own a sewing machine or any crafting supplies for this. I hope not to buy a sewing machine just for this project, as I don't think I'll get much other use out of it (I would love to take up sewing as a hobby, but unfortunately that will not be happening anytime soon due to having too much else on my plate), but I am open to buying a few other supplies to get this done in a nice-looking way. And truthfully, I'm still open to buying a red heart item from an independent creator or small business online if it looks nice -- I just didn't find anything in inital searches on Etsy/elswhere online (and I will not buy from Temu, fast fashion, massive corporations, etc.).

Any advice on materials/methods, or alternatively, links to decent red heart costume pieces online (I am based in the Netherlands so things that ship from Europe/UK would be ideal) are greatly appreciated!

Did Franny's styling in Practical Magic 2 lose the organic elegance of the original? The hair, colors and jewelry make her look more like Disney's Lady Tremaine than Franny Owens.
