I'm heavier than most girls[size 16, 5'5] but everyone INSISTS that I'm not fat[whatevs]. Anyway, this Friday, there's a costume picnic for my drama club. The theme is Peter Pan. I have NO CLUE what to be. I don't want to look like an idiot, but I don't have any idea of what to dress as.
Besides being heavyish I have medium brown hair, green/gray/blue eyes, fair skin, and good curves.
I want a semi-easy-to-make costume, because it IS finals week, and I need to focus, but I'm a good seamstress, and I CAN do a LITTLE sewing this week. The actual making needs to be less than 1 hour though. I have a huge amount of fabric, but not a whole lot of any one print and type.
HELP!
Additional info, added Monday June 4 2007, 7:42 pm: ughhhh... Okay, guys. I KNOW those are the most popular, but I don't have anything like that, and I can't go shopping until its too late. Please, something that I can do here-ish. I might be able to borrow some stuff, but nobody I know has anything like that.. Want to answer more questions in the Hobbies category? Maybe give some free advice about: Theater? NinjaNeer answered Monday June 4 2007, 7:54 pm: How about a lost boy?
ammo answered Monday June 4 2007, 6:38 pm: Everyone already pretty much said what I was goin to say. But I will add you being a size 16 doesn't make you fat at all. Yup I'm another person that insists. :P
superstarblue89 answered Monday June 4 2007, 6:25 pm: I'd go with Tiger Lilly...that whole Native American look is really popular right now...go to target and get some moccasins and some beaded jewelery and you just need a tan shirt, brown belt, and a skirt that's edged up at the ends...its super easy to put together and most people will go as Wendy or Tinkerbell so you'll be original too [ superstarblue89's advice column | Ask superstarblue89 A Question ]
beckyboo answered Monday June 4 2007, 6:12 pm: Well, the two easiest costumes would be Tinkerbell and Wendy.
Wendy-- Long, light blue dress with a empire-waist belt around it. If you want to make it a little less conservative, shorten the dress. Put a blue ribbon in your hair-- it'd look good with your medium brown hair.
Tinkerbell-- Medium to short legnth light green dress, with the bottom cut into the triangular pattern. If you want, you could put on a wig or dye your hair yellow, but it should be in a loose bun. You could make little fairy wings; not like the 6-year-old costume, but cutesy. If you want, you could also make a little wand.
