Making my Ursula halloween costume!

So two years ago I dresses up as a black cat for Halloween... and while out and about that crazy night I already had the best idea for next Halloween... URSULA! What a fantastic costume that would be!! So two years later, my dream finally came true... and all for 16 dollars!!
Matchin up the sides of fabric
My hand-crafted pattern made out of taped Winco bags

All legs designed


Each leg took a minimum of an hour to sew by hand. Then
I sewed up the sides of the skirt


Each leg was stuffed with pillow stuffing and a wire hanger





I pinned the skirt on me to measure, then I sewed around
and up the back to complete the bottom half




View looking down on my legs! ha ha




THE FINAL PRODUCT!



After using a glue stick to paint through my eyebrows, comb through and let dry (repeat) I painted on the blue eyeshadow with a wet mix. Continued the same with the purple, and finished with a black liquid eyeliner for the eyebrows! I even sewed the shell onto the black ribbon and used my black thread to create the earrings!! It was a very successful costume!! I already have my costume idea for next year!!!

  2. Oh my god! I've been wanting to do this costume ever since I did Mulan in High School. This is the first one that looks like what I came up with in my head. Thanks for giving me something to better visualize with. I wasn't sure if it would work but yours looks awesome.

    Where did you get your wig if you don't mind me asking?
