I plan on being Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas this Halloween and I need some help.?

Question

I haven't really sewn using a sewing machine before, so this is the first major project I'm taking on.

Here's the things I need help with:

What fabric(s) should I use.

What type of dress pattern should I get.

What type of face paint (or other option) should I use.

If you could get back to me fairly soon about this (I'm starting on this in a short while and I'd really like to know what to buy so I don't overspend.)

Thank you!!

Answer 1

Try different types, it'd go well with the dress. Don't go crazy with velvet or leather or anything, but various types of cotton or polyester should do.

And I'd search for a basic one online, or at a store that specialises in that kinda stuff. The dress looked fairly simple, so it shouldn't be too hard.

And try pale creamy white make-up, with maybe eyeliner or something  as the stitches.

Good luck, it sounds like a fun costume. :)

Answer 2

Get a dress from a thrift store with patches on it and cut the bottom so it looks rough. face paint colour should be white/grey.

Hope this helps, have a nice day!!

Answer 3

get a gray dress and sew different color patches on it out of cotton material.i would take blue makeup and mix it with white makeup to get your base then get a scar kit and go to town

Answer 4

Honestly, it is cheaper to buy the outfit than make it or buying stuff to look like her. Here is a link to the cheapest I found:

Answer 5
