Pirate Themed Costume Ideas?

I'm going to a pirate themed birthday party next month! woohoo!

I was hoping you ladies might have some inspiration for good outfits? I think guys are a lot easier than girls, but I want to look awesome!

and makeup ideas?

Ooh Pirate themed party!! Can I come? haha

I love pirates!

You could go for an old worn out looking pair of jeans tucked into boots, a big belt, white shirt with the sleeves folded up and then wear a bandana on your head and big hoopy earrings. Old looking costume jewelry would look really good with it too.

*sigh* I so want to be a pirate

Hope I helped!

Here are a few ideas Rosie:



Keep us updated and don't forget to take pics

well this is bound to be popular



but can i assume you will be a female version of a pirate. You're not going to crossdress are you? (oh my!)

here is the tatoo if you were looking for that



this is from this Flickr inspirational set

I found some links for you Rosie;

Halloween costume projects: how to make your own cheap pirate costume

i would totally just dress up like jack sparrow!

Here's a few.

















There's a lot more ideas here .. Sexy Costumes, Adult Halloween Costumes and Sexy Halloween Costumes: Lollipop Lingerie

If you don't have a full-on costume, you could wear a shirt-dress/dress or a flowy blouse with skinny jeans and add a vest and a pair of slouch boots. And maybe try a hat to finish the look?

oooh thanks ladies! I'll have to check all the links... lol I love the way jack sparrow looks, I'm guessing some of the guys will dress like that!

I dressed as a pirate for my friend's HW party a few years ago...I wore a flowy and poofy white blouse with a black tank-top over it, a bunch of gold and beaded necklaces, hoop earrings, a red bandana in my hair, and jeans with boots. It's low-key, but everyone got the idea.

As for makeup I'd do heavy-ish black eyeliner and maybe red lips? Don't really know, pirates don't exactly wear makeup. Unless they're Jack Sparrow.

Put beading in your hair, totally! Lmao.

need the Puffy Shirt! did you ever see that Seinfeld episode?

i would go for a tomboy's look, lol. skinny pants, slouch boots, a big black belt, my little brother's plastic pistols (lol), my little brother's plastic sword, a white shirt with big sleeves (well, the shirt usually associated with pirate looks), a sleeveless vest or a corset on top. and a sort of messy hair, messy eyeliner.

and really bad eggs !! (lol)

Rosie that looks like so much fun! Yar, matey!!! You'll have to post pics!

lol! I will! the best part will be the speaking! yo ho ho and a bottle of rum me hearties!

i'd buy a really piratey shirt.. yknow one with ruffles or something and get it in like a mens size or a really huge one. and then put a belt over it maybe, add some rips or weather it a little and wear it over some black or brown leggings. and a hat/sword/super dark eyes/backcombed hair to complete it!!
