Tanya Harding Halloween Costume - Homemade

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Anyone who’s tried to find a last-minute adult Halloween costume knows what a mad dash the process can turn into. When you’ve got a Halloween party to attend and have to come up with a costume quickly, you might find yourself stuck with picked-over costume selection. Oftentimes, the adult Halloween costumes that remain on the rack might make you feel uncomfortable, or could carry a pricetag that’s much too high for a one-night event.

Satirical Adult Halloween Costumes: Tanya Harding

Luckily, making your own adult Halloween costume can be a manageable and fun project. It’s easy to dress as the favorite criminal of the ice skating world, with just a little creativity. This costume is simple to make and packs quite a punch at Halloween parties!

Materials:

  • Short dress or skirted swimsuit
  • Opaque beige nylons (without control top)
  • Sturdy white socks
  • Dark shoelaces
  • White tennis shoes
  • Metal pipe section or wooden stick
  1. Don the nylons underneath the short dress or swimsuit.
  2. Pull white socks over your nylons, and cut two rows of 3 or 4 small holes vertically in the socks.
  3. Using a cross-lacing technique, thread the laces through the holes in the socks to create an iceskate effect.
  4. Don the white tennis shoes and carry around the pipe or stick as your “weapon” of choice.
  5. French braid hair and apply blue eyeshadow and bright lipstick.
