How to Turn a Black Dress Into a Costume

Do you have a late invitation to a Halloween party? Perhaps you have just been too busy to get organised this year.

Don't you worry, we have got you covered.

Here's some last minute ideas created with things you might just have around the house.

Last-minute DIY costume ideas for adults

Kim Kardashian's Met Gala outfit

This one is sure to get a few laughs, and all you really need are leggings, a black t shirt and some tights. Make the train from strips of bin bag.

Bernie Sanders

A fold up chair, anorak, and some mittens, and you're gold.

Olympian

You will need some sort of Team GB t-shirt, home made is fine, and a pair of trainers. Add some knitting and you're Tom Daly. Please include an Olympic medal made from a chocolate coin.

Rosie the Riveter

This famous image is easy enough to do with just a denim shirt, a red bandana, and a purposeful look in the eye.

Mime

A stripy top and some white face paint/make up is all you need for this one.

Robber

You can use that striped top again, along with a sack and some sort of mask – perhaps painted on. Or just some ladies tights.

Regina George

Perfect if you're already blonde. A mini skirt and some holes cut in a vest are all you need.

Men in Black

A suit and some sunglasses and you're there.

Amanda Gorman

A red headband and a yellow coat can turn you into the poet of 2021.

Sandy from Grease

If you have a leather jacket, a black top and some leggings then you're there. Just get those curlers in.

Danny from Grease

Leather jacket, white t shirt and a pair of jeans. Perhaps make this a couple's costume.

Cruella de Ville

Brunettes, if you have some white hair spray, or even maybe dry shampoo, and you can recreate Cruella's famous up do. Extra points for a toy Dalmatian dog.

Harley Quinn

Blondes, if you're brave enough, colour the ends of your hair pink and blue to recreate this famous look. White face powder, shorts, and a heart drawn under the eye will finish this one off.

Princess Diana

90s sweater and cycling shorts and you're done. Add a tiara if you want it to be really obvious.

Farmer

Dungarees and a piece of long grass is all you will need for this. Maybe even dirty up your hands a little.

Dexy's Midnight Runner

Ditto – but with added violin for that extra something.

Scarecrow

Again, this is pretty much the same outfit.

Squid Game contestant

A green tracksuit and a terrified expression is all thats needed here. If you have some sugar and baking powder in the cupboard you could add Dalgona candy.

Pirate

A hooped earring, bandana, and an oversized man's shirt will do the job here. Make a sword from card board wrapped in tin foil.

Kamala Harris

Statement earrings, blow dried hair and a power suit will turn you into the most powerful woman in America.

Ghost

Do you have a white sheet you're willing to sacrifice? Well there you go.

Bunny

Make ears from cardboard or a wire coat-hanger, covered in cotton wool balls, as well as a tail.

Angel

Use a similar technique to make wings or a halo.

Mummy

Double check your stocks of loo roll, then go wild.

Gomez Adams

Create an eyeliner moustache, wear a crisp white shirt, with some braces, and affect an aloof demeanour.

Morticia Adams

A black maxi dress, red lips and long black hair will do the trick here. I could go on here, but most of the Adams family would be pretty easy to do.

Susie from Rugrats

A yellow dress and purple leggings can be paired with some adorable bunches. The other Rugrats are good for DIYing too.

Superman/Clark Kent

A superman t-shirt under a shirt works wonders here. You will need some glasses though.

Dora the Explorer

A pink t-shirt, a back pack and a wide-eyed love for learning.

Harry Potter

You will need round glasses and an eyeliner lightning scar. Extra points if you already have some sort of cape.

Carrie

Fake blood on an old dress and you're there.

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

It is amazing what a black hair band and a peter pan collar can do.

Gossip Girl

It is a similar look for one of the Gossip Girl characters. Whether you prefer the original, or GG 2.0, a hairband with a school tie and an unrealistically well styled uniform will work.

Spice Girls

Any of the Spice Girls are easy enough to make at home.

Medusa

Fake snakes and a toga (read: sheet) make this a simple one.
