Pirate Costume - Simple Quick Ways in Creating Your Costume
Having or being invited to a pirate costume party would be a new wonderful experience to have in your life. Especially if in your children time you wished to be a pirate, then wearing a pirate costume would be such your past dream is coming true. The easiest way to get the pirate costume is by purchasing it from a costume store. Yet, you can make it yourself if you want to.
How to Make a Male Pirate Costume
Male pirate costume generally appears in white shirt and red shirt. What you have to do is cutting the both of those shirts arms. After cutting those arms, you have to do the next steps. The next step is cutting the cuff of the arm of the white one. Then you should not forget to silt the arms of white cloth at the seam.
The next step is you have to gather the fabric altogether at the end of the cut. Secure it at the throat with a safety pin, to shape a feathery rumple at the neck. To give the bottom of the shirt a ragged look, cut the hem and fray the edges of the fabric.
To create a vest you should take the red shirt and cut the hem obliquely. You should keep the hem shorter at the sides and longer in front, forming a V in the front when the shirt is closed. Glue three big black fabric dots on either side of the vest to give the impression of double breasted buttons for your final pirate costume.
Pirate Costume Accessories
Several accessories for pirate costume are better bought at the shop than striving to create them at home from cuts. You can come to your local craft store or five-and-dime toy store to buy a black pirate’s eye patch, a black, three-corner pirate’s hat with a white skull, and a plastic or foam-core pirate’s blade.
How to Make a Female Pirate Costume
You can begin with a loose white or pinstriped shirt and a length of dark vinyl or leather fabric. Cut a wrap-around corset out of the leather fabric, and cut four parallel slits down each side of the front of the corset. Fasten an extra long, strapping, strong ribbon through the frontage of the corset. Tie it in a bow at the base of the corset.
The next is you have to cut the collar off the dress shirt and turn the raw edge under. To form a casing you can stitch up by hand or with a sewing machine. Thread another ribbon through the casing and get together it to shape a peasant blouse neckline.
Finally, making a pirate costume will not be difficult at all. What you have to possess is extra patience in making the costume well. Yet, by following the above steps, be sure that a wonderful costume will be yours. If you need more information, please explore links on this Costume Design Ideas site.
