I was a Titanic victim the year the movie came out, and went for REAL authenticity. I was really influenced by the scene where the lifeboat came back to look for survivors and you saw the dead woman in her lifevest holding her baby.

I found a long navy flowered skirt, an assymetrically ruffle-neck blouse (very immigrant looking), and a pair of short black lace up boots from Goodwill, a plaid shawl from Target, and ribbed black tights.

Found the cheapest baby doll possible, painted her face light blue and lips purple, and wrapped her in a blanket.

I did my own face pale blue and my lips deep purple as well. Washed my hair and put in this "wet look" hair gel, then as it dried, I painted salt into the front and sides to look like frost. The crowning touch was a life preserver I bought from a pool supply store and stenciled "HMS Titanic" on.

Everyone who saw it loved it.
