Sailor costumes are easy to make at home.

Every year when Halloween rolls around, it might be tricky to think of an easy to make costume that is still unique. One easy costume to make at home is the 'sailor girl', which you can create by finding a few pieces at the second-hand or retail store and adding finishing touches to complete the look. You can make a sailor girl costume either sexy or simple depending on the theme of the party and your comfort level.

Instructions

Simple Costume

1. Find a pair of white or navy blue polyester pants and v-neck shirt to wear.

4. Wear a white pair of tennis shoes, like the old-fashioned deck shoes or Converse.

Sexy

1. Purchase a white leotard and mini skirt.

3. Wear white platform high heels or stilettos. You may also wear a pair of Mary Jane heels in either red or white.

4. Tie a plain red or blue bandana around the neck, and tie a knot so each open end hangs down over the chest area.
