All fall I was thinking of a Halloween costume, when I finally thought of a mummy. Tried to find an already made one online, but none of them appealed to me. I also wanted to be a cute mummy. So I decided to make my own Homemade Mummy Girl Costume.
I started by buying a nightgown. Next I bought a couple of rolls of gauze and some premade bloody gauze at the Halloween store. I sewed the bloody gauze around the bottom of the nightgown so it would more of flow off my body then sticking to it. Next I sewed the top of the dress with the bloody gauze so I know it would be secure.
Then I started to wrap the midsection in figure eights with both type of gauze. Added some more fake blood, an arm wrap, and some bruises and I created a mummy.
