If you want to have fun and get creative with your next Halloween costume, consider dressing up with a washcloth. All you need for this look is a small colored tulle and elastic.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Making the Bundles

  1. 1 Cut eight large pieces of tulle. Each should be approximately 2.3 meters long.
    • To make the sponge more voluminous, you can make more tulle bunches. The number of bundles must be even in order for the suit to be proportional.
    • It is not necessary to cut perfectly straight and precisely. The pieces of tulle should be about the same size, but it's okay if you end up with a few different pieces.
    • You can also use a matte nylon mesh instead of tulle.
  2. 2 Fold the tulle in half. Fold one piece of tulle in half lengthwise to cut the width in half.
    • Repeat the same action with the other pieces.
  3. 3 Fold each folded piece of tulle in thirds. Fold one piece of tulle in thirds widthwise. The length of the tulle will be cut three times.
    • Repeat this step with other pieces.
    • Don't worry if it doesn't fold perfectly and accurately.
  4. 4 Tie each piece of tulle into a bunch. Squeeze one piece of folded tulle in the middle and secure with a small piece of elastic (about 0.6 cm) at this point.
    • You can also secure the bunch by wrapping an elastic hair tie around the center.
    • Then gently fluff the tulle with your fingers.
    • Repeat this with the remaining pieces of tulle.

Part 2 of 4: Part 2: Stripe the chest and waist

  1. 1 Measure your breast volume. Wrap the measuring tape under your arms around the widest part of your chest.
    • Stand in front of a mirror and ask someone for help to make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the floor on all sides.
    • Connect the measuring tape at the front so that it is easy to read the numbers.
  2. 2 Measure your waist. Wrap a measuring tape around your waist at the narrowest point.
    • The narrowest spot at the waist is usually just above or near the belly button.
    • Make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the floor on all sides. For additional verification, ask someone to help you.
    • Wrap the tape around your back so that the ends are in front.
  3. 3 Based on these measurements, cut two pieces of elastic. One piece should fit your waist and the other should fit your chest.
    • Add about 10 cm to the length to make the elastic tie.
  4. 4 Tie an elastic band and trim the edges. Tie the elastic to form a belt and trim off any excess around the edges.
    • Attach elastic to both chest and waist to make sure it fits. If the elastic is too loose or too tight, tie over and try again.
    • Tie a knot so that the elastic locks into place.

Part 3 of 4: Securing the Ligaments

  1. 1 Tie or pin the tulle to elastic belts. Secure half of the tulle bunches to the elastic on the chest and half to the elastic on the waist.
    • Place the ligaments so that they are evenly spaced on the belt, at the same distance from each other.For example, if you have four ligaments on the chest and four on the waist, the distance between the ligaments will be equal to a quarter of the length of the elastic.
    • Attach the bundles to the belt by tying a short elastic band (0.6 cm) to the center of each bundle. Tie the other end of each elastic to the belt.
    • You can also attach the ligaments to the belt with a safety pin.
  2. 2 Slip the belts over your mini dress or bodysuit. If possible, wear a strapless dress or tulle-colored bodysuit.
    • If you can't find a dress that matches the color of the tulle, wear white or black.
    • You can wear short shorts and a tube top instead of a dress or bodysuit. For a more conservative look, you can also wear tights or leggings.
    • Put one belt on your chest and the other on your waist.
  3. 3 Alternatively, you can pin the tulle directly to the dress. If you don't want to make elastic belts, you can attach the tulle bunches directly to the dress or bodysuit with safety pins.
    • Pierce the tulle with a pin at the base. Several pins may be needed for each bunch.
    • When pinning pins to your dress or bodysuit, straighten the fabric as much as possible. If there is too much fabric in the pin, the dress will bunch up and you will not be able to put it on.
    • You will need to try on your dress or bodysuit while you work to make sure it still fits easily.
    • Make sure there are as few gaps as possible on the dress.
    • If you have a lot of small bundles of tulle, this option is preferable to the previous one. If you have from 8 to 12, then you can use any option. For more ligaments, it is not recommended to use chest and hip belts.

Part 4 of 4: Part 4: Final touches

  1. 1 Fluff up the tulle. Beat the tulle with your fingers so that the layers of each bundle are distributed, covering the maximum area of ​​the suit.
    • Continue fingering and fluffing the tulle bunches until there are no empty spaces in the suit. The finished suit should look fluffy and fluffy like a washcloth.
  2. 2 Attach a white string or string to the suit. Cut the white lace or string long enough to wrap it around your neck and attach the ends to the top of the suit. Attach the ends of the string to the top of your mini dress, an elastic band around your chest, or the top row of tulle bunches.
    • Attach the rope with safety pins. You can also do this with a hot glue gun or a needle and thread.
  3. 3 Spray yourself with glitter spray. For a “wet” look, spray the glitter spray on your hands and feet. Also apply some spray to your shoulders and neck.
    • If the spray is safe, apply to face as well.
    • This is not a required element of the costume, but it will make the look more like a bathhouse.
  4. 4 Apply gel to your hair or wear a shower cap. The gel will add a wet effect to your hair, and the shower cap will enhance the sauna look.
    • If using hair gel, apply it all over your hair. A cheap gel will be even more suitable as it will make your hair look wetter.
  5. 5 Put on your shower slippers. Complete the outfit with mesh shower slippers, flip flops, or rubber flip flops.
