How to Dress for Christmas Elf Costume

Video Transcript

"Seasons Greetings! I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you today how to create an elf costume. The next step in our elf costume is our main top piece. This is what's actually going to fit over your head and down onto your shoulders and arms. It's really going to cover up your mid section. You have to be careful because some of the areas will actually expose some cloth underneath your neckline. White t-shirts are okay. Green and red will be better if you have them lying around the house, even if it's a darker green. It's pretty simple actually how you put this on. Again, it's going to go up over your head. It's going to be resting on your body. There's no bins, buttons, zippers, or anything crazy like that. It's just fine. Again, the white collar, that's not too bad. If you have red or green that's okay too. I want to keep it real. Also, think about what you're going to have in your wardrobe, so don't worry too much about that. The big thing to worry about is a lot of these costumes are one size fit all. Definitely make sure and ask the costume store clerk if you happen to be particularly large or small, ask the costume store clerk what exactly does one size fit all mean. You want to make sure it doesn't look like a pancho. On the other hand, you want to make sure it's like you don't have any room to move either before you put it on and buy your costume."
