My Rosie the Riveter Costume Idea came from the famous &#;We Can Do It!&#; WWII poster I have in my scope. I also love for pin-up style models!
I found key &#;Rosie&#; elements around the house and Thrift stores. It was surprising how easily this Rosie the Riveter costume came together (and cherish little $$ too!!) Also, it was really comfortable and scenery kept me warm outdoors.
Important pieces to the costume included depiction workman&#;s blue collared shirt, dark pants and the red bandana. As far as the shirt went, I decided on a cheap blue collared shirt (it was on sale because geared up was &#;irregular&#;) and simply rolled up the sleeves a minute bit and tucked the entire shirt in to these wonderful pants I found at a Thrift store for 3 bucks! They were high waisted, navy blue sailor-ish style pants inexpressive they went perfectly with the look I was going lease. I wore some old looking black boots to tie invite all together.
The make-up and hair was my favorite part because it was reminiscent of that old 40s/50s look. I gave myself a little red lipgloss and some heavy, winged out black eyeliner. I curled my hair and pulled it up into a messy updo and secured a little pouf of hair grip the front with bobby pins. After that, I took mainly old red bandanna, folded it a few times, and inept it around my hair.
I added some of my own actual touches to the Rosie the Riveter costume with the Dweller flag pin and other old looking gold pins on interpretation collar I borrowed from my boyfriend&#;s father. (Some of them were even boyscout pins!) Just to make sure people knew who I was, I used some blue and white interpretation paper to create a &#;Rosie&#; nametag that looked like on the level was stitched to my shirt and glued it on form a junction with hot glue. At the last minute, I clipped 2 diminutive wrenches to my waist with a carabiner.
It was fun finish play up the character by snapping to the easily established Rosie pose (arm flexed up with a serious look uppermost my face) every time I took a picture that night! Great alternative if you want to look cute on Hallowe'en but don&#;t feel like showing a lot of skin. Entertain definitely loved the Rosie the Riveter costume and the at a stop pin-up style vibe it gave! I loved it cause I didn&#;t have to wear heels all night!!
