I like the idea of headless costumes and never want to spend a fortune on costumes. So I decided to make a waiter serving…well me! I hate when costumes are too tall as they don’t look quite right so I got a hollow mannequin body and strapped it to my back. Taking an old suit … Read more
This particular headless Bride halloween costume was inspired by an old wedding dress found in a vacated rental property. I borrowed a backpack and some tent poles from my nephew. Next, I stuffed an old t-shirt with plastic grocery bags. You could use any kind of stuffing, these were handy and lightweight. Then I slid the t-shirt over … Read more
