Pirate costume with your own hands

If there is the most simple and at the same time very effective and original New Year carnival costume, then this is a pirate costume made for the girl with her own hands from improvised means and things that are sure to be found in the house. Who are the pirates? People with an adventurous character warehouse, prone to risk and search for adventure. But they dressed the same way as ordinary people in their time. The only nuance is negligence and some shabby things, because the sea winds and the scorching sun did their thing. And with the care of the outfits of pirates, who spend most of their life on the ship, there were certainly problems.

For us, needlewomen, this state of affairs is only at hand. Especially if you sew a pirate costume in a short time and without much expense. The case for small: choose the image you like or create it yourself. Good problems with this will not arise, because the characters of the famous heroes of the famous saga "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Treasure Island" recall very easily. So, we offer some interesting and easy ways that will tell you how to make a pirate costume for a girl. Shall we proceed?

We will need:

  1. The first way to make a pirate costume is to give the old T-shirt a careless look. It's very simple! It is enough at the neck and on the bottom edge of the T-shirt to cut and tear the sections of the fabric. Striped t-shirts-vests look best. Do not have one? No problem! Usual white t-shirt with the help of paints can be turned into a vest. And no pattern of pirate costume is needed.
  2. Method two: a suit from a shirt. To do this, use scissors to cut the bottom of the shirt, cut off the collar and cuffs. If the sleeves are too wide, you can slightly drape them. Then in the gate area, make a few holes and decorate the pirate shirt with lacing. You can put a short vest over your shirt, decorated with pirate symbols.
  3. If as a supplement to the costume you decide to choose trousers, then treat the bottom of the legs with scissors so that the edges turn out careless. Great, if the pants are striped. As for the skirt, it can be any, but cut "the sun" looks spectacular. Even a short dress, worn under an elongated jacket, is suitable for this purpose.

This could complete the process of creating the image of pirate, but it will be incomplete without the characteristic accessories. First, shoes. Model shoes are not our option, because the shoes of this adventurer must be firm and reliable. Men's shoes or shoes in the style of unisex will be an excellent solution.

Do not forget about the headdress for the pirate costume. It can be a characteristic hat-tricorn or a bright bandage on the hair. If the girl will not mind watching the carnival with one eye, you can put a pirate bandage on the second eye. A variety of metal chains, bracelets, massive rings and earrings - all these accessories will give the image of young pirates of piquancy and chic!

As for makeup, then focus on your girl's age. Of course, as an exception, even the youngest beauty can be allowed to draw a darker pencil in a brighter way and tint the eyelashes. For the image of pirate, such make-up will be quite appropriate. The last preparations are completed, "the suit is sitting", it remains only to be charged with a good mood and go to conquer the seas! And let the sea - just a fantasy, but fun adventures are provided!
