We cut up an old set of cow pajamas for the vest, and found a cowboy belt buckle that we painted flat god to make it look plastic. I created doll curls by sculpting my hair around curlers (I left them in all night), and I curled my hair (I don’t have bangs!) around a toilet paper roll, to make her perfect poofed bangs.įor his, we thrifted to find a bright yellow shirt and cowboy hat and belt that looked plastic-y. Underneath, I wore light blue capris pajama pants fringed with lace as my pantaloons. To give my skirt lift, we bunched up an old huge tulle mosquito net and sheets around a piece of elastic in the absence of a hoop skirt. I had a more accurate shirt (for a close and easy match use a pink deep V-neck, and a lacey blue camisole), but at the last minute I borrowed my Aunt’s corset for the party, because It just looked cuter. The shepherd’s crook is a shower curtain rod and a large candy cane yard decoration wrapped in blue wrapping paper (and some packing tape). The sleeves were made out of left over skirt fabric. The hat is actually a large white sun hat that I sewed pink fabric onto and tied into place with wire and fishing line. I made mine out of a 3 XL white polyester skirt, that we painted pink circles on, using paint dipped styrofoam bowls as a template, white tights, and shoes I found at a thrift store. I saved a picture of the couple on my phone, and for weeks, I would stop at every thrift store, garage sale, and garbage pile I passed, collecting any component I could find for either outfit, checking things off of my list as I went. Sick and tired of all of my peers going around in short miniskirts and cat ears, or X-Rated Disney princesses, I decided you could make a sweet and sexy G-rated costume. Every year, we look at ourselves and decide what couple we could play convincingly, so our looks will lend to our costume.
