Re-do Beetlejuice costume

Halloween is almost here!

The first jacket I taped up was very heavy and the stripes did not match the leggings I bought,

so Re-do it is.

I went back to the thrift store and the only thing I could find was a long white button down shirt but it looked good as an open jacket also.

Finished look: Under the jacket I wore a black corset with striped leggings and high heel boots. I sprayed my blonde hair green (a little too much- I looked like the Joker) and applied white powder to my face, purple eye-shadow and green shadow to my forehead.  

Materials:

• White shirt/jacket (Goodwill $4)
• Black electrical tape (2pk at Dollar Tree)
• Scissors
• Cork board (optional)

 I laid down a cork board in the shirt & then buttoned it up to make the shirt more stable.

 Depending on your pants you'll want to determine the width of the tape. My pants were just a little bit wider than the width of the electrical tape so I only laid down 1 strip of tape instead of the two I did with the last jacket. 

 Keeping on taping. 

For the arms I striped them vertically but in the movie Beetlejuice has horizontal sleeves. Horizontal sleeves tightened the material too much so I opted for vertical.

 For the sleeves make sure to tape them all the way to the end seam.

***When trying the shirt on I liked it better folded up to make it more fitted. It was easily taped inside with extra electrical tape. 

Black corset, bought in 2016 for $6 on Amazon but my oh my have those prices changed. 

I ordered an XL but could have gone down to a L. 

I purchased my leggings for $9.99 through Amazon but of course the price will change. 

The shoes were pretty expensive, $15 plus $10 shipping on Amazon & no longer available.
