Ragdoll Costume

Creep people out by dressing as a living doll!

I've been planning this costume for about 2 years. I used the this tutorial for the yarn wig: http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2011/10/rag-doll-halloween-costume-diy.html It was a little tricky to wind the wool from the ball into the length I wanted for the wig. It got really tangled, but it was worth it in the end. The wig is held on with combs but I had so much hair I had to use a pair of tights over my hair to keep it all in, so the combs didn't grip and it moved a around a bit. I added the scarf round the fron to help hold it on and cover any of my hair that was showing. I had the dress already and just added the apron and tights to make it more 'ragdolly'. I've added my make-up as a seperate version. This was a really fun outfit to do! It was pretty easy and cheap to make as I only really bought the tights and apron and I got loads of comments and compliments from people when I was out.
