I actually got the idea for this costume from this site! I was really excited, as I’d never made my own costume before.
I had an old black dress in the back of my closet, so that became the base. I got thick white pants and thin string from goodwill, and some small bells off old Christmas earrings I had (a total of 5 dollars!) I cut all the spots out of the pants, and then cut the pink tummy area out of an old pink t-shirt, then glued them all to the dress.
I cut a tail out of a black t-shirt, and attached some of the white string to the end. I took a glove from work, blew it up, and attached it to the tummy as an “utter”. The necklace was made from more white string and the bells from the earrings.
I had angel wings from an old cotume, and those got Velcroed to the back because the dress zipped up the back, so they had to be removable.
Finally (and this isn’t pictured) My halo was made from an silver headband, and intertwined silver and sparkly white pipe cleaners, and my ears were black and pink t-shirt bits that I sprayed with starch and stapled to the headband.
It was cold that night, so I worn this with black leggings and a little black cardigan. It took people a little bit to figure out what I was but, once they got it, the laughs didn’t stop. They we’re very impressed when they found out I had made (almost)all of it too!
