Inside of the dress, I hot-glued in a bra, so that the dress would be able to fit her and be held together. Her matching gloves were a costume store purchase. I made her fur coat from some shag fur at the fabric store. Her hair embellishment was a pendant found at the craft store, that I glued some furry black feathers too, and then pinned into her hair. I completed her look with a fake cigarette holder and a matching red purse (prom/wedding store). Colonel Mustard’s jacket was made from a woman’s blazer found at the local thrift store.
The most notable part of Dionne's plaid look is, of course, her larger-than-life hat. Check out this tutorial from Brit + Co. to learn how to make your own. Even little ones can get in on the Clueless fun. If the yellow plaid ensemble doesn't get the message across, a DIY "as if" sign will. During the Revolutionary War she used a clothesline to communicate to American spies.
Mr. Green in the Billiard Room With the Rope / Clue Short-Sleeve Unisex T-Shirt
Because the bottom of the wrench was made from rubber, the spray paint would not stick, therefore I had to wrap the bottom in tin foil, and respray it.
Because a woman’s jacket would not fit him, I extended it by adding a brownish fabric to the sleeves and back of the jacket. I purchased a mustard colored shirt that I used for extra material. The fringe around the epaulettes were curtain accents I bought at a fabric store. I made his monocle using a small magnifying glass I found in a glasses-fixing kit at the dollar store. I added a chain from the craft store, and pinned the chain and monocle to the jacket.
Clue Halloween party
I put my own spin on the typical blue-suited, grey-haired Mrs. Peacock from the board game. I had a short black flapper/vaudeville dress, and made a 100% silk peacock-blue coat to go around it. I fixed it with a belt that I embellished with peacock and black feathers. I made my own peacock earrings, and a small fascinator hat. The hat was made a from a small, round cardboard box. I covered the box in thick ribbon, and added black veil material, peacock and black feathers, as well as a large jewel to bring it all together.
And didn’t come across any other purple things that would work again. 1950's exquisite nude illusion, scalloped lace, full skirt, cocktail party dress. There are hundreds of items to choose from with a variety of sizes currently available. "I went to a Flyers game like this on Halloween when I was 17. I won second place in the costume contest, which I didn't even know was happening ." "The mask requirement worked out great for my Star Wars–inspired costume! I was Ruth Vader Ginsberg and had a gavel coming out of my lightsaber." Weapon of choice – wrench – sprayed with shiny sliver paint.
Last-Minute Gift Ideas
This diverse selection of costumes and accessories are all artfully designed and expertly crafted by our talented team of artists, designers, and developers. Oh Colonel Mustard… I specifically bought the Husband very yellow pants and a jacket. He complained that the jacket didn’t fit (it was women’s sizing) and that he had something better.
The people there loved our costumes, and loved coming up with fun and unique photos for us and we loved posing for them! They were even gracious enough to clear off an old bar set for us – just so we could do some 1940’s style poses on the bar. We believe that costumes have the power to create some of life's best moments.
The gold ring was cut out and white material was added to that part and to the bottom of the dress. Her pearls came from the thrift store, along with her purse, and her lacy black gloves came from a costume store. Miss Scarlet’s dress was a $5 purchase from the thrift store. It was a few sizes too small for her, so I found some extra material from a fabric store, and added it to the back of the dress, which made a nice train.
I will give him extreme props on the Colonel Mustard beard! Also, he lucked out that the boys picked Green and Plum, because Colonel Mustard is always his favourite character. I love the idea of assigning characters before the party and tweaking classic roles to accommodate the person playing them. The artsy and ambitious could create a similar product.

"My coworker and I went as Lisa and Ralph from The Simpsons. Our 'Floreda' and Idaho costumes won first place in the costume contest." Found something you love but want to make it even more uniquely you?
Col Mustard wore a beige shirt tan jacket and glued cotton balls for eyebrows mustache and side burns. Professor Plum wore a purple jacket hat, nerd glasses and carried a pipe. Mrs. Peacock put a peacock in her hat and wore a purple dress. I made the coat using a white bathrobe that I essentially cut in half.
If you didn’t know, the whole premise of the game is that Mr Body was killed and you have to figure out who did it, with what weapon, and in which room. Okay, I know I mentioned that this is a costume for 6 people, but I had to get Tootsie in on the action! She was the only character I chose ahead of time. No matter the holiday, theme, or occasion I will find a way to costume-it-up. Each year, I commit days, weeks, the past few months to putting together my Halloween costumes.
I trimmed the arms up to three-quarter length, and glued all of the arm and bottom edges, so nothing would fray. On the outside there was an embroidered logo, which I covered with black feathers, and glued on a small robe piece to give the illusion of a pocket. The dress was a black thrift store dress that originally had a small gold ring in front.
Remember when Cher wears her "most capable-looking outfit" for her driver's test but fails and drowns her sorrows in a shopping excursion? Channel that vibe this Halloween with a blue argyle skirt, black blazer, and sheer knee-high socks. Cher's most iconic Clueless ensemble is an easy one to pull off. Just hunt down (or make!) a matching yellow plaid jacket and skirt and pair it with a white tee and knee-high stockings.
I had the perfect little gold brooches/earring, but she didn’t want to wear them. For Halloween, she’ll probably wear red leggings and a red coat too (it gets cold here!). Here is a bit of a breakdown of our costumes (I thrifted 90% of the items). We asked the BuzzFeed Community to show us the best Halloween costumes they've ever worn. Here are the genius ideas you'll probably want to copy. Weapon of choice – candlestick… a wooden craft store candlestick, spray painted shiny sliver, like the rest.
