When you saw my original Halloween how-to post, I know what you were thinking...where did she get such an awesome gray and black striped dress?!
(Oh, you weren't thinking that? Well you're going to find out anyway.) =)
I found this dress at the Goodwill for $8 LAST YEAR (At Halloween, so everything was 50% off...make that $4)
MATERIALS:
A dress (gray ugly boring one)
Black spray paint (had it on hand)
Masking/painters tape [Thinner the size, the better]
Scissors
Accessories [To dress up the outfit!]
Oh and a wonderful boyfriend [best friends/sisters/and moms work too!]
First wash the dress-you know, with my fancy little cleaning guide!
Simply place the tape vertically down the dress.
Perfection is impossible, so try not to worry about it. I only had thick tape on hand, so I used scissors to cut the tape down the middle to make two strips.
Once it was all attached, take it outside and spray paint away!
I let it dry for an hour or two before removing the tape.
Then I left it a day before washing in HOT water (to set the paint). After it dried I washed it again using dishsoap to make it less crinkly (and smell good!)
I accessorized the dress using a black high waist belt, stockings and fedora.
Instant Gangsta just add spray paint!
Total cost (for me) $4 [For the dress!]
Have a question? Let me know! I'd be happy to answer it!--I guess you know which costume I WONT be this year ;)
EDIT// I got an email asking what my boyfriends costume is. He was Clark Kent with his super hero costume on underneath.
