Let’s face it: Halloween is practically here, and you totally forgot about your costume (don’t lie.) It’s too late to order one, and your class schedule is too hectic for you to leave and buy one. At this point, the best thing you can do is find something cute lying around your room. Try building a costume from that one central piece!
Here are a few examples of great made-from-scratch costumes:
Costume: Rosie the Riveter
What you’ll need: a red bandana, a button-down shirt, and a sassy attitude
Costume: Mary Poppins and Bert the Chimney Sweep (for couples)
What you’ll need (for Mary): big, black skirt, white button down, red bow tie, hat, and umbrella
What you’ll need (for Bert): black slacks, button down, vest, tie, suspenders, hat, and chimney sweep

Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz
What you’ll need: a blue dress and, of course, red shoes with white socks
Cyndi Lauper
What you’ll need: crazy colors, bulky jewelry, and 80’s-inspired clothing
