Alex from Clockwork Orange Halloween Costume
This is a costume I have been wanting to do for a couple years now so I just went ahead and did it this year! I'm into a lot of obscure movies with Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange being on the Top 5 list. I wanted to do a female version of Alex which was a simple enough idea - replace pants with a skirt.
I'm not good at sewing or anything like that so my homemade costume came from using what I have and spending a little on what I don't. I bought a bowler hat and cane from Spirit Halloween. The skirt was a really lucky find on eBay after months of searching that looked exactly the way I had pictured in my head, suspenders and all. (I kept the suspenders hanging down rather than over my shoulders, though, just for comfort reasons.) I bought the shirt at a Goodwill. To wrap it all up, I used some of my black leggings and little black shoes. The eyelashes on my right eye were drawn on with eyeliner...
and - tada! Viddy well, li'l brotha, viddy well...
