Game Boy Dress

No playing, this Game Boy dress is easy to make, and just perfect for Halloween.

So press pause on Tetris, and get out your sewing machine, because it's time to build this thing!

Step 1 Materials

For this dress, you'll need a gray fabric for the base, as well as some black, green/shiny gray, red, and light gray for all the buttons and borders. I ended up using a lot of scraps I had around already.

A key part of this dress is how stretchy it is. Be sure to get fabric that's got some give to it, so your dress will fit snuggly.

[rifakungen]

I Really like the look of the game cartridge! ;D

[MerlinTheGreat]

Nice software!
Actualy it looks a bit more like a game GIRL...

Well done.

[baldmosher]

The gray material for the body should clearly be beige!! Which would in fact make this dress insta-boring, albeit geekily accurate.

[IkilledKenny]

Simply breath taking. Three minutes later I realized this was for the dress.

Does it have an on/off switch? How many built in games?


Nice idea!

[dronex]

Great anytime, but also for Halloween! Very nice!

While making this, you should listen to the Freezepop song 'I am not your gameboy'....too perfect...

I've never wanted to play a Gameboy more than I do now. Thanks! Good work on the costume too.

[Doonular]

And here I thought I didn't like video games... I could play that one 24/7 ;-)

That is a cool dress though :-) Nice job.

[lkitz]

This gamegirl is my niece. She is as smart as she is beautiful. Make the dress.

[kazmataz]

Aww thanks Aunt Lois!

[bobbelsekwol]

[androela]

[PikesPeak]

[Bob Lowes]

Where do the batteries go?

[PikesPeak]

:-)

[azigta]

mmm... I´m thinking in somewhere... But Not! it can´t be! xDDD

[l8nite]

if gameboys came with that shape I might have actually tried playing one ! Cute project.......

[wazzup105]

Indeed, my initial reaction was: Can I play ? (and I guess you'll get that A LOT)

[rockhardmj]

Same here, "I want to play you!" was my thought.

As for constructive criticism, you should try to find a flexible e-ink display in the future, and rig it up to a looped mario brothers game or something. Would be pretty awesome.

[silveruno]

I belive i would have put someting on the display.
Nice project and, hmmm, nice model too. ;-)

[punkrockbeth]

I will be making one of these to wear year-round. Who needs Halloween. I am a geek 365!

[becomingthebeast]

Never before did a game boy happened to look so lovely!
Very nice retro-look-wear!

[jj.inc]

[cifer]

Creative and cute. Very nice.
