Step1
Wear bright colors and many layers. A long colorful skirt is great, but two skirts of different lengths layered together are even better. Gypsy women often wore bloomers. Leggings make a perfect substitute and are readily available in the store if you don't have a pair in your closet.
Step2
Add a ruffled and or lacy blouse as well as a patterned or solid color vest. It doesn't matter if they match or coordinate. Varied patterns and colors only add to the creative look of the costume.
Step3
Use a long scarf for a sash and tie another one around your head. A fringed shawl looks great around your shoulders but is not necessary.
Step4
Wear appropriate shoes, if possible. Sandals or flats work best.
Step5
Apply bright red lipstick and blush to accent the face.
Step6
Make an impact by wearing tons of jewelry. Big hoop earrings, layers of necklaces, bracelets and ankle bracelets add the final touch to this stunning gypsy costume.
