Pirates are very popular characters on carnival and masquerades, especially after the release of a series of films about pirates from the Caribbean Sea ”. But how to turn yourself for a while into a dashing sailor from the ship Jack Sparrow? Or any other character from Tortuga? Or in a completely different pirate of those seas that you like?
How to make a pirate costume
An adult pirate costume differs from children’s, as a rule, only in size. Although there are elements that should not be added to the image of a small pirate – for example, everything related to alcohol (the famous “Roma bottles”). And so everything is similar, although the outfits for guys and girls will be slightly different. However, on the deck of a ship, it will be more convenient for a pirate of any gender to walk in pants than in a long skirt. Therefore, pirate women generally dress like pirates, except perhaps with more jewelry. So, let’s look at the pirate image, as they say, from top to bottom.
A pirate man wears a hat of a special shape on his head, or a bandana, and a pirate woman wears a bright scarf. It is much easier to get a bandana or make it much easier, but you need to tie it in the manner of Jack Sparrow, well known to everyone from films. A pirate can also add bright monistos or rings in her ears to the image, but only for an adult woman. If a girl is dressed up as a pirate, she should use clips instead of earrings. Do you have facial piercings? Do not take it out, it will add a bit of specific flavor to the pirate. And if you are a man without piercing, like most, you can, if you wish, put on one of the ears clip that imitates the pirate “earring in one ear”. The brighter your jewelry shines, the more interesting. Pirates like magpies or as gypsies reach the brilliance of gold and precious stones. Of course, you do not need to use expensive things in a home -made suit, quite ordinary cheap jewelry, if only it sparkles well!

Often, the pirates wear a bandage through one eye, and even decorated with some kind of symbol, for example, a “cheerful Roger” (this is a skull with bones). However, we do not advise abuse this accessory. If there are several pirates at the party, and even with equally broken eye sockets, it will be incredibly funny.
The pirate style involves wearing a white (or other bright) shirt with a toad and lace cuffs. Pirate’s pants are always comfortable, in case, and suddenly he will have to get into a fight? Sometimes they offer to wear pirates in crumpled clothes, they say, these are not the dandies that are always in the parade and are smoothed. However, at the festival, most often, such “creativity” will be inappropriate. Let you get a clean and neat pirate at the ball. Let’s say he fell in love with you, then he will put himself in order, probably.
A sash is usually tied on a pirate belt, instead of which you can use a bright and long scarf. And, of course, what a woveliber without personal weapons? Dag or saber – it goes without saying that the fake, complement the face of a marine robber.
Pirates’s boots – as always, high, if possible with large lapels. But swamps should not be used, do not replay. Heights to the knee are enough for you to create a convenient and colorful pirate-flibeen appearance. And, of course, you can always improvise, for example, replace the sash with a wide leather belt, and it will be especially convenient for it to cling to a “pirate” weapon! Women-pirates can be put on a skirt, preferably with a slanting hem, so that it seemed as if one edge is torn off. It is good to use the fringe at the bottom, it will bring the necessary bit of lively sloppiness. Or maybe you will like the idea of decorating the hands of a pirate with a temporary mehendi tattoo?

However, true fans of films and books about piracy, probably, can not be told at all how to make such a suit. Just imitate as much as possible the appearance of those characters of the pirate world that you like more than others! Add whatever you like – antique pistols or flint and flint pouch. Or maybe it’s a bag for golden doubloons? Or maybe you even have a real (or toy) parrot, ready to portray the best pirate movie friend? Let your imagination run wild and create your perfect image of a pirate.
