Halloween 2012 - Headless Marie Antoinette

For Halloween this year I wanted to be something super scary. I always go a little too far with costumes, but this one (though it doesn't look it) was incredibly easy, very light and comfortable! I completed the entire costume in a day, and have developed some tricks and tips so that you can make it in a less rushed time and have it turn out even better!

What you will need:

1. Fancy dress (and any extra material or thread you may need for sewing)
2. Industrial foam
3. Mannequin
4. Mould release agent
5. Dowels (wooden or plastic)
6. Duct-tape
7. Small Backpack
8. Fake arms (or simply fill some long gloves with stuffing and sew them to the inside of your sleeves)
9. Paint/paint prushes

Step 1: Find a Mannequin

I found this mannequin for 15 dollars on kijiji! Craigslist would also be a great option!
