For Halloween 2008 we dressed up as some of the characters from Richard Linklater’s cult-classic “Dazed and Confused”. My friend and I dressed as the “Senior” girls in the hazing scene, and our boyfriends went as Dave “I love them high school girls” Wooderson and O’Bannion (complete with paddle).
Everything was a Homemade Dazed and Confused Group Costume – including O’Bannion’s patchwork shirt, which was crafted by cutting up pieces of fabric and gluing them onto a button-down shirt. We even scanned and printed out a cover of the Ted Nugent album that was on Wooderson’s t-shirt throughout the movie and ironed it onto a white t-shirt. For the Senior girls, we cut up some white sweatshirts and sewed them back up to resemble vintage football jerseys. Then we ironed on the word “SENIORS”.
We also carried around trick ketchup and mustard, which actually “squirted” out string. Everyone who saw thought that we were fantastic!

From one of my favorite movies, I’ve always wanted to dress up as the Senior girls. I think I’m going to give it a try this year!! Thanks for the great ideas!
I was wondering where did you find the white shirts cause me and 3 of my friends want to do it and we cant find the shirts anywhere
where did you get the Wooderson pants and t-shirt?
I am looking for the white shirts to print seniors on as well, I am having trouble finding them.
…sorry for the late response, if anyone is interested, here is how we made the shirts…they were a little tricky. I bought v-neck hanes white sweatshirts and actually cut up the shirt to shorten and taper the sleeves, and we tapered the bottom of the shirt so that they would look more like old-school jerseys. We printed the “Seniors” on iron-on transfer paper and ironed on. The Wooderson pants were actually my boyfriend’s father’s old pants.
Wooderson’s t-shirt was also a plain white tee. The decal is actually an iron-on transfer. It’s an old Ted Nugent album…unfortunately right now I can’t remember the name of the album.
Its the Tooth, Fang, and Claw album.
How did you make these or where did you get them from?
BTW, ya’ll looked awesome!
I picked up the fake ketchup and mustard at a magic shop.
Hey not sure if you ever check comments on here anymore, but could you tell me what font you used on the Seniors tee shirts? I’m a bit OCD and have been trying to match it up for my own tee shirt haha. Thanks!
