This is my first instructable, so wish me luck. c:
Basically, this is how to make all of the components of a Silent Hill nurse costume; so that includes shoes, tights, dress, mask, hat, and makeup.
Anyway, I did this for Halloween 2008 (sorry this is so late..:( ), and it was a great success. Everyone seemed to love it, but I remember looking everywhere for help on how to do this. I wound up having next to no luck, and figured that I may as well make an instructable to help others with the task, cause it's not an uncommon costume.
Also..leave yourself a bit of time for this. I somehow managed to complete it in three days (once I got the pattern in the mail), but if you want to do a fantastic job, I'd take more time on it. It didn't come out as well as I'd expected, unfortunately. Additionally, I apologize for lack of step by step pictures, and the fact that the the pictures are so low quality..I don't have a real camera besides that on my cell phone. I decided to make this once I was well done with it, so next time I submit something it'll be better, I promise. Either way, here goes. :)

Signing UpStep 1What You'll Need
You will need:
-Shirt Dress pattern (most will do, just try to get one similar to the costume. You'll be shortening it after. I used McCalls M4769)
-1 Yard of White or Off-White linen & all the fixin's..buttons or velcro, thread, etc. (I wouldn't place any bets on the amount of fabric used, cause I reused a costume I previously made. Just follow what's on the pattern for your size, and a little extra for the hat.)
-Plaster Strips
-A Plastic Bag
-Scissors
-Tea
-White & Clear spray paint (Optional..but you can get 'em at cheapie stores for a buck apiece.)
-Acrylic Paints (brown, light brown, dark green, black, and red)
-Fake blood (Also optional, but very useful. Only downside is if it dries on your fabric it tends to look a little pinker than one would like)
-White tights
-Old pantyhose or knee high..something like that.
-White high heels or flats (since I did the costume last minute I'm afraid I didn't have a chance to get a pair of heels I didn't mind messing up..I'm sad about it. :c )
-Paintbrushes & Newspaper
-An outfit you don't mind screwing up in the process

Hot costume. :)
For anyone planning to do a Silent Hill nurse costume, there's a good Youtube tutorial for teaching the walk and how to pose: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lapdpwvjFtY . It's awkward to do, but keeping in character will make your costume a lot more impressive.
A couple of my friends are professional photographers and we did two photo shoots using the costume. I've added some pics to my Instructables library. They should be attached to this message, but in case it doesn't work, check there.
Thank you for making this Instructable! <3

I'm going to try making this costume for halloween but my hair is thick and curly and I have no idea what to do with it.
Except for the push-up bra and heels probably though. D:
great ible by the way.
I'd be tempted to just try and make the mask at some point :3
*will have to look into that*
i wait next customer.
;)
A friend of mine did this costume for Halloween a few years back and she said the trick to help her with the walk was one shoe a size too big and one half a size too small.
hope that helped!
I don't trust myself to not suffocate
"Now, put the plastic bag over your head..."
You could go with someone wearing the "Red Pyramid" costume I see is listed in here also! Or if you had a daughter, dress her as "dark Alessa"!
That would freak everybody out!
Bravo on a great job!
