A costume dilemma

[Leyelle]

If there are any costume lovers here, help!

I was so excited to make a costume for a party but then plans changed so I won't be going to that one. I was invited to another party but the date for that one is literally in four days (on Wednesday) and I don't feel excited/motivated at all to make a costume for it, since the pieces I wanted for my original crow-themed costume won't be able to arrive by Wednesday. I probably won't go at all unless I can figure out a costume with the things in my closet so I need suggestions fast!

If anyone is interested in helping, I can provide pictures and descriptions of what I have to work with.

Oh damn D: I hope you figure out something! I’m not sure if you play sims, but there’s a DIY sim plumbob to make out of paper, you’d just need to buy a headband and any outfit would work.

Here’s a link with some instructions:

How to Make a Sims Plumbob

A cat is cute but kind of basic, but it’s a classic for a reason, and they have lots of cat headbands in even grocery stores around this time of year! Sometimes they have tails too lol?

You could also try dressing up ultra goth, or super punk!

[Leyelle]

I don't play the Sims so I have to Google what that means. idk what a plumbob is XD

[beebutterbee]

OH lol I guess scrap that idea! A plumbob is the (usually) green diamond thingy above the characters’/sims’ heads.

I have lots of crappy ideas but idk if you want such a lame costume jdkdksk but I have another idea: You but as a celebrity. Which is usually just dressing more extravagant or eccentric that you usually do, don’t forget some over the top sunnies lol. And make up a celebrity name for yourself jdkdks it’s not dressing as a real celebrity, it’s YOU but in an alternate universe??

[beebutterbee]

I’m thinking of dresses as one of my own characters this year! Maybe you could cosplay as your own character too?

[Leyelle]

Those are all really fun ideas, honestly. The plumbob idea is a good one too, just didn't make sense to me cuz I hadn't played the game XD. I was talking to a friend of mine about dressing up as one of my characters when we go to comic con together. I'd probably be Alicia or Essence. (I'm way too short for essence but whatever lol)

Who are you thinking of dressing up as?

[beebutterbee]

Aww you’d be cute as either one of those characters! ^_^ Alicia will be tricky ONLY for the fact she wears heels but you could substitute with some dressy flats.

I’m dressing up as Nydia! I don’t have her blonde wig though, but I have everything else. I guess it can be an AU where she does get her hair chopped off, she has long black hair at the beginning of the story.

I have sort of similar clothes, and was thinking either if these outfits of hers:

[Leyelle]

Could you not find a blonde wig or did you not want to buy it since you'd probably never need it again (I feel yah tbh?)

Both outfits would make a cool costume so I hope you have fun!

Essence usually wears heels too, but she's not addicted to them the way Alicia is XD. I'd just need a purple mini dress and a fabulous fro

[beebutterbee]

I had a wig picked out honestly, but I didn’t have enough funds i probably would have worn it normally not even lying lol It was a nice wig not costume grade! Maybe I’ll still buy it one day … becoming my art haha! Why not? Live the dream

OH I remember now! You did mention Essence wears heels so she becomes even TALLER. Truly she is too cool!

[Leyelle]

Good wigs are not cheap TT. Building a quality costume costs too much

[LunarScyphozoa]

Maybe a headband with cat ears, attach a box to you, pretend to be dead sometimes, and you’re Schrödinger’s cat?

Wednesday Addams could work if you have some similar black/white clothes (typically white collar) and fashion 2 dark-hair braids. The Netflix show is current enough that it could work.

You can be a Blue's Clue if you're okay with adding a blue pawprint somewhere on you.

If you have an "ugly Christmas sweater" (not sure where this idea is from), you can just be someone who likes Christmas. Why have clothes for only one occasion.

If you have any pokemon plush, take them with you. You can be a pokemon trainer.

@lizardlullabye @LunarScyphozoa

Both great suggestions thanks!

[Leyelle]

I have decided to be a nymph. Got this dress for 10 bucks lol

Now I just need some flowers for my hair

Thanks for all the suggestion everybody!

[beebutterbee]

Aww cute! Have fun at the party ️ Also glad it was so budget friendly lol!

[Leyelle]

Thanks. I can't afford to empty my wallet for one event. I will also be wearing this for my job's Christmas party XD

[beebutterbee]

Yess! Even better that it’s multi purpose, and it does have a pretty Greek myth vibe, especially with the flowy sleeves.

[Leyelle]

Yes! My inspiration was Calypso from epic the musical
