Thread: costuming help for my man...warrior dude

okay so for our halloween hafla I suckered my hubby into performing with me...going with a warrior chic theme and I am doing part sword dance and we will do part battle, ect....I dont know how to dress him. LOL.

He didnt want to get a costume from the place I bought mine, and he doesnt want to spend alot for something he will wear once...

any ideas??? LOL

some sort of janissary costume?

Here is link with photos of costumes I have seen at Pennsic and found pretty awesome:

Well, what kind of warrior? What era? What geography? Fantasy or reality? What are you going to wear? It's hard to make a recommendation when we don't know whether you'll look like a Safavid lady or Xena Warrior Princess.

I guess its more Xena like. I am having custom bra/belt set done that has a metal look to it. I will wear a short black skirt and my black leather boots...and have a headpiece with horns LOL

at first, I was going to have him to the bad guy that I would slay, but now I am thinking, maybe I will be the bad girl and he can be the good one..LOL

can't you both be bad? (more fun that way!) it's just deciding who 'wins'- maybe you can form an evil coalition...

I suggest going to the thrift store & seeing what they have in leather. Supplement with Duct tape.
