This was my first attempt in making a costume. I made the entire Rainbow Brite costume as well as the wig.
Growing up, Rainbow Brite was my hero! So I decided to be her for Halloween. It was such a hit. Everyone at the Halloween party I attended raved about it. I had so much fun being her that night!
To make the costume I simply printed out a ton of Rainbow Brite pictures and drew out a design. I went around to Value Villages and Thrift Stores and found old dresses, material and stuff and managed to put it all together. I actually hand stitched the outfit because I don’t own a sewing machine. Man, I put hours into this outfit.
After I was finished the outfit I looked around for a wig but nothing looked right, and since I have very short hair I had to wear one. So, I bought 2 straight yellow wigs and took them apart and what you see in the picture is what I managed to come up with. I was actually quite happy with the result.
Altogether I would have to say that it was my best Halloween ever!

how the heck did you make that wig?? I’ve been looking all over for a wig and you MADE this one?? tell me your secret!!
Your wig is awesome!!! It matches perfectly, you could make some money trying to make those cause I have tried finding a wig to go with my Rainbow Brite costume everywhere and NO ONE HAS anything!!! you did an excellent job on it on the entire costume at that!!!
I love this!! It is soooo much better than the crappy ones the stores sell. I absolutely love it, and the wig – it is perfection!
You did an awesome job, and should be so proud!
I saw this on e-bay and thought it was the most amazing one on there and I should have got it then cause now its gone and I don’t know what to do for Halloween!
