You modelled most of the costumes outside, your neighbours must have had a lot of fun. I can only imagine all the guy standing at the windows. Good work on all the costumes!

lol, you should have filmed that. Must have taken you hours to clean your feet ;-). Really good work, you really look like her.

Toupee tape will hold the caution tape to your body. Whoever suggested Gorilla tape has forgotten that people are mammals and are covered with hair. Yowza!

Someone needs a meal...

This must be very painful when it's time to take off the costume.

the caution "tape" has no adhesive on it

Hey, my fiancee´ lived in this building! Photo from the same view... just no caution tape!
Oct 31, 2011. 4:56 PMtsimpson5 says:
It's only logical that you should post the photo for comparison then ;)
Nov 3, 2011. 3:28 PManthonyshafer says:
Yes, it's a great view, even without tape girl.

Cheap ,simple and easy to make .
I like it .
Good job.
Would it work better to use a skin tone body suit and just stick the "Caution Tape" costume to that ?
It would then stay in place where you put it and it needs to be and easy to get back off.
If done right , the body suit would be invisible as not many would be looking that close to find the seams of the suit ,right ??

That's why it's "caution" tape right lol.

Nicely done!

Clearly you do not live in Canada as we are looking for ways to winterize our costumes..

Enjoy

Would like to know what crime was committed at this scene.

I gotta hand it to you, that costume takes a lot of courage to wear. Great job!

Um, so you're like, nude under that? What does the backside look like, because I may not be so daring to try it if I knew what the 360 look was... Show us?
Oct 30, 2010. 11:13 PMOrtzinator says:
Most people are nude under what they're wearing.
Nov 19, 2010. 4:17 AMhariseldon78 says:
ooooh that's exciting :)
Nov 5, 2010. 10:27 PM1oooop says:
let's hope that it's warm that day...

I would entertain an instructable that shows a step-by-step of the wrapping procedure.
Oct 30, 2010. 11:55 AMbaratacus says:
any idea what the back side looks like? It doesn't look like there's a lot of coverage in the photos,... and the one no one wants to ask... how do you pee in that?
Oct 30, 2010. 9:36 AMbikemender says:
as odd as it seems my daughter assures me more than one person appeared at the vancouver show in this costume. I think a body stocking would by appropriate for public use of this outfit.

but on a lighter note there is nothing funnier than wrapping a buddies front entrance with police tape when he is going through a bad spell like a divorce or such.
Oct 29, 2010. 8:25 AMelementfiftyfour says:
Who in their right mind would actually go trick or treating in that costume? :D
