SUPER MOM COSTUME MOVIE

If you want to go to a costume party as Carrie, you’ll need fake blood to pour on your dress. Nothing is worse that having a costume that you have to explain!” I put on a long blonde wig, wore my white graduation dress from high school, had the same homecoming sash on and had fake blood all over me. She went to prom, was the homecoming queen – and gets pig’s blood poured all over her.

“I went as Carrie for four years in a row and won quite a few awards. In case you don’t know who that is, Sissy Spacek played her in the 70’s movie Carrie. “This was my all time favorite dress up idea for women: Carrie from Stephen King,” says Kathleen, who created Lucky Day Boutique. It’s both classic and sexy!Īnd, here are eleven dress up ideas for costume parties that you can create out of the stuff in your closets and kitchen… Carrie costume – from your closet (and Stephen King!) I was working out the kinks though, and it shouldn’t take as long doing it again, or if you do it.If you’re going to a costume party, a way cool costume is a Red Riding Hood Costume for Women on. It took me about 3-4 hours to do this costume, working at top speed the day of the party. The costume was less than $20, as I only needed the pink vinyl, the cape material, and the cap. Also, “work” aprons are available in craft stores like AC Moore or Michaels, as well as Home Depot. I used this to attach my tools, but you could punch out some holes, or attach the ribbon with staples just as easily. In the drapery section of the fabric store there is a kind of tape with loops on it they use for curtains. I stitched it, but you could staple it, duct tape it, or use a hot glue gun too. The apron is just a rectangle of pink vinyl folded up to have pockets. So, I designed my logo in my computer and ironed it onto the pink fabric using transfer paper, which is very easy to use. If you did that you could use Sharpie Markers to write your logo, but I didn’t think of that until later. The plastic curtain would work as you could just draw whatever you needed direct on it, and save a lot of time. If you don’t sew, you could use vinyl fabric, shower curtains, or tablecloths and it would work just fine. Just a fold over hem at the top and bottom, and laced my daughter’s pink sash through the top for attaching at the neck. The cape I made from material at Joann’s fabric, about 1 yard or so, depending on how tall you are. I chose Pink and black as pink is the color of hope and support for women, and I planned to wear my black shirt with pink breast cancer awareness logo on it anyway. I used markers and vinyl fabric to cover over the police insignia, attaching with hot glue. The taxi hat was a $3 police hat at the local 5&10. I lightly stuffed the gloves, and attached them to the hose with elastics, and tied off the sleeve to the glove with fishing wire, which is virtually invisible.

I took “sleeves” or pant legs from old or discarded clothes and covered the blue hose. Everything else can come apart easy for re-use. Only the backpack had to be cut with four openings, 2 each side, top & bottom. You could also use swimming noodles, a regular hose, flexible ducting etc… I had saved the pool hose from years ago just in case it was needed for costumes, like Medusa or something. I cobbled the back set-up from an old backpack my friend Melissa donated, and blue pool hose I had laying around. In addition to the costume contest criteria, I wanted something easy on and off, so I could lose the costume if it became too hot once the dancing started. Mom’s diner is also open 24/7… as well as the national Bank of Mom. I wanted a taxi type hat reflecting my chauffeur enterprise 24/7, and every mom needs to have “eyes in the back of her head”, a referee whistle, and an unlimited supply of food and cash. I envisioned a costume that incorporated 3-5 arms, each hand representing some household chore or use maybe even carrying items related to the arm, like a wash bucket, garden tools etc.

The details just followed along! I also used some internet “jokes” that came my way about what happens when mom is not on the job, to fill in some details too. This helped inspire my costume, along with 2 t-shirts that I had purchased from Terri at TNT Designs entitled “Mom’s Taxi” and “Mom’s Diner”. It said, “If evolution were true then mothers would have 3 arms”. A few weeks before the party I opened my refrigerator and saw a magnet that had been there forever. I thought long and hard about a costume that would be fun and different. This year the theme was “Hero’s and Leaders” in honor of election year, and we were encouraged to interpret that creatively.

Every few years my dear friend Jenny hosts a themed costume party.
