My favorite costume - I bought a bunch of gray paint cards and taped them all over a blazer. Nobody could figure out what or who I was, lol! I was "50 Shades of Gray". I stumped everyone at the party I went to. It was fun!!

[@TheSorryGirls]

This is a good one!

4:15 Fun fact: Coraline isn't Tim Burton, it's Henry Selick. He directed both Coraline (Burton not involved in any way), AND Nightmare Before Christmas (Tim Burton was the producer).

[@JayofallTrades]

They used the Disney studio to make the NBC movie though that's how Disney got merchandising rights.

[@jannevanlimpt1726]

additional fun fact: the film a nightmare before christmas bears the name of tim burton because he came up with the story, furthermore it was the intention for burton to direct the film but that did not work out because he was also busy with bat man at the time

The button eyes you could maybe attach with glue for dentures, I see cosplayers sometimes use that trick, but be sure to also buy the specific glue remover/solvent, so It's easy to remove without hurting your skin.

I did a DIY Price is Right contestant a few years ago. Loved it and super easy. Used cardstock to make the oversized yellow nametag and bidding screen and laminated them. Pinned the name tag and just wore the bid screen piece as a necklace. You know how people add a dollar to the bid? My amount was: $1031 As in 10/31 Halloween 👻🎃😜 Came out super cute and took me like 30min to make.

[@bozenabertolini3111]

I started watching your channel 7 years ago when I wanted to DIY a Rey costume. I thrifted most of the costume the top bottoms boots and a purse out of which i made a pouch. You all are so inspiring.

[@floatingsmartie]

I relate so much to Rochelle! I’m not too social either 😊 For work one Halloween, I did the sims costume. Made the green plumbob on a hair band and then just wore my usual clothes

[@Leslie-wb8cb]

I went as the color purple one day, because we were handing out candy in the cold, and I had a big, eggplant colored duvet I wrapped myself in. 😀 A purple hoodie and a pair of flashing purple hearts on a headband finished the ensemble.

[@TheSorryGirls]

Love, so creative 😎

[@vickytimmerman1365]

one year I did the orange yellow tights and t-shirt cut .pool noodles.spray painted the same color...mac and cheese

I actually thought Becky's gloves could be easy to upcycle too. Some old preused kitchen gloves spray painted maybe?

[@MBMCincy63]

I am 60, and I am not up to date on most of the people you mentioned. However, I am enjoying watching your joy and enthusiasm over a great holiday!

[@CelticSunflowerStudios]

I started making my Halloween costume over a month ago. I crocheted a black and red sweater to be a comfy/cozy Harley Quinn. Just pair with a black pair of leggings and some doc martens that I have already. And crocheted little clown-like ruffles to wear as a choker and around the tops of my boots.

[@danacapodarco1363]

This was enjoyable to watch while I was taking apart some old items to make a faux fur pellet for my Halloween/ renaissance fair costume. I am going as a Wild Hunt spirit (think Celtic worrier with stag horns.) Minus the plastic horns, and steer horn to sound the hunt, I created my costume out of repurposed clothing items I had for years. I’m not even done with it yet, but am still really proud of it

[@Spencer_123]

Beaky finally got the blue version of the mug!!!!

[@TheSorryGirls]

Rochelle is literally the sweetest!

[@Girasse]

I'm doing a coraline costume this year! The version of her in the star sweater the other mother gives her, but I got button eyes as if coraline decided to stay with her 😊

[@francescathomas3502]

The very FIRST Sorry Girls Video I ever saw was a few years ago back in an old loft and you were setting up for a Harry Potter party. At this point it was mostly just Kelsey & Becca, but I think Danielle was still there as the camera person. You set up a 9 & 3/4 doorway, Lots of games/subjects and of course foods. The costumes were wonderful. Been hooked TSG ever since.

[@jonnalange4886]

Halloween is such a wasteful holiday. I appreciate your approach so much! It always hurts me when people say that they ordered their costume.

[@nitzeart]

Here’s a list of easy but crafty costumes I’ve done: Cookie Monster with an all blue outfit and a styrofoam eyes glued to a headband, mary poppings, and last minute I was a cute witch and matrix 😅 If I had anywhere to wear it, I’d for sure be one of Chappell roan looks. The pig red carpet or the vmas red carpet would be like top tier but probably the hardest ones to replicate.

[@SuseFishUK]

Bless Rochelle for representing the introverts: we stay at home with you, babe xxx

[@shae113]

Best two costumes I've ever seen (one simple, one complex): Simple one: was at a college party and saw a guy wearing a blue sweater, then had a rubber chicken on a rope around his neck - like the chicken was a large pendant - we had to ask and he was Chicken Cordon Bleu (or Chicken Cord-on Blue, to be punny)! The complex one, we had a kid in the neighborhood who was a claw machine! He build a box from dowels & cardboard held up by suspenders around him. The bottom was solid, so it was filled with stuffed toys. He fashioned the claw out of aluminum foil and the 3 "glass sides" were heavy plastic sheeting. He even had one of those battery operated tap lights in the top.

[@courtlynmcpeak2169]

as a girl's girl, i cannot support the idea of Popeye cheating on Olive Oyl with Betty Boop.

[@TheSorryGirls]

Agree!!!

[@CaliMel184]

The thing is, people are saying people are dressing up as Popeye and Betty Boop but they're not Olive Oyl wears a red dress and has black hair. People on Tik Tok put the wrong name, and now everyone thinks that's what the costumes are when it's very clearly not.

[@catlane871]

My favorite simple costume is to dress up as a road. You just need an all black outfit, tack on some felt strips for the arterial, add a toy car or two and whatever road sign option you choose. It’s also easy to make it a couples outfit by having your partner dress as a road construction worker.

[@ToniPust]

I once went as a party guest from the "Rocky Horror Picture Show". Best thing is: You don't have to look exactly like one of them, because they were only extras in the background. A vibe is enough. I had some of the clothes/stuff I needed at home, and for the rest I paid 15 Euros or so (in a thrift store and a party shop). And it was such a fun costume 🥳

[@susangruhlke8782]

We got to dress up for a week at work so I asked my son who just happened to be in charge of the store if I could be stitch, from lilo and stitch. He said no. So I asked him can I be penny wise( mind you we were supposed to be hero’s.) He said absolutely NOT he’s a villain!! I said, are you kidding me a killer clown that scares the piss out of kids, sounds like a hero to me!!🤣😂

[@mpty3]

[@saramichelle2589]

Not costume related but I have thought Workshop Floor Sims videos could be fun. Set up challenges like build a house in 10 minutes, decorate room/ house in X theme or X decade, design a room for X celebrity (obviously mods needed =p) ect

[@TheSorryGirls]

I love this idea!

[@rosestormwolf]

My Halloween costumes almost every year is some sort of cosplay of my favourite characters from various fandoms. More often that not they’re closet cosplays with clothes I already own, but accessories that are hand made to make the cosplay.

[@selkie_dream5039]

I did a beatnik one year, black beret, turtleneck, jeans, thrifted copy of Kerouac’s “On the Road”-even read out of it-and no one got it 🙃 I choose to believe that I was at the wrong party.

A few I've done are the black market: all black outfit with fake ssn, dob, and names all over, smarty pants: dress kinda nerdy with glasses and suspenders and pin the smarty candy all over your pants, thing 1 & 2: use as i am or another temporary hair color gel in teal and all red outfit. The hair color gel works great for sooo many ones like Inside out too

one halloween in my twenties, i went as gogo yubari from kill bill. i DIYed my own ball with spikes and printed the school logo and slapped it on a blazer. got a plaid skirt from target that was on clearance and wore chuck taylors and knee-high white socks. i already had a white button down shirt in my closet. my friends and i went clubbing at boystown (the gay district in chicago) and omg, i cant remember how many gay guys came up to me to have a selfie/take a picture with me on their digital camera (this was like 2009 or something, when the movie was fresh on everyone's minds). for one night, i felt like a celebrity, lol

24:42 I just got a super cute $5 croissant pillow from Five Below that would work SO WELL for this!!!!! (As a former cosplayer, I can easily see it being altered into a purse, it’s the PERFECT size!! And it would provide a bit more functionality than carrying around a pillow as a prop.)

I went out and foraged some grass and leaves and glued them to my outfit and a year later the glue didn't really come of BUT my friend said that you can iron the hotglue through a bakingsheet and it'll transfer so I'll try that.
