This Dead Couple Costume was a complete last minute jobby! I managed to pick up an Indian wedding outfit from a charity shop on the morning of the party, and wore the skirt pulled up as a dress and turned the shawl into a veil using a hair slide and super glue. My boyfriend already … Read more
I made this zombie costume as a doctor zombie. I Used my name tag from work, and bought blue scrubs, drenched them in blood, burned holes, rubbed them outside in dirt, and ripped them.
