Trying the bark armor plan it wasn't TERRIBLE, but I realized it wasn't going to work great.
However, that "skirt" was a real treasure we stumbled on. (it's actually a scarf I've mangled). So, we went back and bought a black version for a new skirt, and I managed to piece together something semi resembling a dress from the first piece.
World's ugliest seam in the back will mostly be hidden by hair. Flowers and leaves will get attached through the dress. Still working out how to do the skirt.
Open to advice from the more beauty oriented among us.
Especially with suggestions for makeup, which is where we want a bit of creepy to come in.
To give you an idea, this is about the peak of my skills in that area (and granted, the first time I've tried, usually leaving this stuff to the boss). It's not terrible but not great either.
However, that was a facepaint kit, which at least I'm familiar with theatrical makeup having made plenty of zombies in my day. I'm wondering if more proper "real" makeup would work better for something like this? Is there any good tricks to using "real" makup? Anyone ever done fall colored makeups?
