Halloween is my favorite holiday. However my fiance’ said he would only dress up with me if he liked the costume. So it came down to a homemade Beetlejuice and Lydia costume.
I purchased a black negligee from Salvation Army and painted a spider web on the front with fabric paint. I bought 2 pairs of red fishnet stockings and cut one pair to fit my arms and wore the other on my legs. I had an old black Indian wig from a previous year.
My fiance’s costume is actually a women’s white pant suit from Salvation army. I took it out on our driveway, duct taped it with stripes then spray painted it black, flipped it over and did the back side too. The only thing I bought at a Halloween store is his wig, for $9. And I teased it with a comb and hairspray.
I got my plastic jewelry from salvation army and a piece of fabric from Wal-mart and sewed it around an old head band for my veil. We won 1st place and a bucket of beer for that costume!
