Thread: Need ideas for Evil Hamble Doll/Wedding Dress Costume

Tweet

Here are two pictures. My son is 14. He'll be wearing this wedding dress I bought at Goodwill for $65. I almost hate to mess it up but it's Halloween so it has to happen He's wearing the dress with this creepy Evil Hamble Doll mask. Any ideas on what I should do with this dress. Not sure if this will work but I thought about soaking it in tea to darken it up. We'll tear it up and put some blood effects on it too. I guess my question is: does anyone have suggestions on how to do this. I'm not sure if soaking it in tea will work for this type of fabric/material. Would something else work better. Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction with what to do with this outfit and someone may have a better/more creative idea. I'm open to anything so what do you all think.

Spray bottle whatever you care to use of it while its hanging up out doors , for least mess . for blood you can get the small bottles of arcrylic paints at michaels,ac moore etc... and while dress is hanging use a flinging motion to apply. somewhere i have pics of me doing mine and the dresses after effect ...though the dress was not nearly as nice....

Great idea!!! The spray bottle and flinging stuff on it sounds like a great way to get a realistic look. Thanks

I'm saying I'm going as a Vampire of the Red Court from the Dresden Files, but really, I'm just dressing up in something that I would find awesome to wear regularly, but would get funny looks if I did.

I'm working on a sleeveless dress with a black top and dark red skirt. I'm wearing a pair of black pants underneath becaus the skirt is going to be short and It'll probably be cold. Then I have my amazingly awesome long black hooded cloaky-cape thing (unsure of proper terminology) that my gramma made for my a couple years ago. add makeup and costume is complete.

that is one creepy mask!

That is one scary and creepy character. I would not like to meet her in a dark alley.

I thought that my idea for The Ugly Duchess was creepy! Wow!

I love making costumes of all types, thanks for showing a pic. I used a new type of spray on blood, not the caro syrup kind. It is at the Party Store, it dries completely and not sticky, looks like real spray & splatter. It is at www.sprayblood.com I think the spray tip is better than ones I have used before. Good Luck with it . I'm sure it will look great.
