Vinyl Halloween Costumes
Halloween is just around the corner. For the serious hobbyist, it’s time to start thinking about outfits. This post should help get those creative juices flowing!
Vinyl is a great fabric for costumes for a variety of reasons including: wow factor, plastic look lends itself to cartoon characters, taboo / sexiness, and our 4-way stretch vinyl is great for hip hugging skin tight costumes.
Ok, on to the costumes. Proven concepts that are sure to impress include: cat woman, nurse, dominatrix, and for those who really want to push the boundaries – nuns. There are a ton of varieties that you can do with these. The cat woman can be anything from your basic catsuit to something resembling Michelle Phieffers outfit in batman.
You can also make an easy nurse outfit by using an apron pattern and putting a cross applique on it, or go all in and add a hat, garter, stockings, and dress with contrasting sleeves and button front. Nurse costumes can also be made from a wide variety of colors.
Black and red for evil nurses, white and red for the basic, pink pvc for a more girly look, or go with metallic green vinyl as the base color for a more different look.
Dominatrix and nun outfits are commonly done in vinyl and are guaranteed to draw attention. It is Halloween so this is the one time of year you can really go over the top. Lady Gaga created quite a stir with her outfits in the video Alejandro. Videos and movies can provide great inspiration for outfits.
