Our very own Lady Gaga How does she look?

The finished result

By handsewing the beading, catching at certain points with a stitch, however for the back it was individual beads sewn on!
The lightning stripes at the back were cut out from the excess of the material from the bag.

A Homemade Lady Gaga Costume

.....was it going to be impossible?

Lady Gaga T-shirtsWe had to find inspiration from somewhere.
So we found a few photos of Lady Gaga from her video Poker Face, and browsing the net, we printed the ones that that my daughter liked and decided to draw out our own version, now I am no artisit however I could imagine the basics.

We had to think about what we needed,
BIG shoulders body suit, lots of beading, a blonde wig with her signature ligthning streak on her face. Sounds simple...

How I got Lady Gagas huge Shoulder Pads look

Lady gaga postersLady Gaga loves huge shoulders, and is a recognisable look.

I found a square Silver Shopping bag, and thought this was fabulous and just what we needed. I turned it upside down, and cut a slit up the front and back, cutting toward shoulder to shoulder making space for her head to go through.

I cut it diagonaly from side of the bag (sleeve to neck opening) at each side, (leave enough of the side of the bag to be tied around your arms, and same at the back.
This will sit over your shoulders and give a very square look, if the shoulders need re-inforcement, just cut some cardboard and glue along the shoulders to strengthen.

Gagas costumes always have

Body suit & leggings

homemade halloween costumes - lady gaga As my daughter was only 10, I decided to use a black t-shirt and leggings and a pair of sparkly leggings underneath I cut a cheap black pair of leggings to make shorts, to create the illusion of a body suit, making going to the loo easier

I used the left overs from the bag to make lightning designs and hand sew onto the t-shirt, I also used old christmas beads to sew Lady Gaga onto the back of the costume.

The Skirt

homemade lady gagaWe used an old net skirt, and to get it to stick out we threaded a coat hanger through the hem, you could use a Tu-Tu. this would probably be a lot more comfy, especially for younger children.

My daughter loved the whole, 'excuse me, you need to move so I can get my skirt through' experience.
