![]() ![]() But much like the skirt, it’s not one of the more important details of the costume. And the shoes, well, if you want to get them right you want something black with a strap on top. You probably have some long white socks in your house somewhere. The “real” Darla’s skirt has a lot of yellow in it, but nobody is going to notice if yours doesn’t. There are lots of plaid skirts out there. :-) (Hey, it was 2am and I was delirious.) The first time I did it I forgot to take the backing off of the transfer, which meant that I had to start over with a second print. I cut the design out carefully, and then I did the ironing on a wooden floor, with a pillowcase underneath the sweatshirt. If you’re printing the digital download, it should go right to the edge of the iron-on transfer (unless you’re putting it on a very small kids’ sweatshirt, then you might want to print it a bit smaller). Next, you need the Rock n Roll Girl logo for your iron-on transfers. You could buy a long-sleeved purple shirt with a similar design already on it instead if you don’t want to make the shirt yourself, but honestly making the iron-on transfer is really easy, and the digital download of the logo is simple to work with. The white polo shirt goes under the sweatshirt. If this costume is for a child, this one would work. I used this purple sweatshirt, and it was perfect. You need a purple sweatshirt or long-sleeved crew-neck shirt (not a hoodie – no zippers!), and it can’t be fleece, because fleece might melt under the iron. I’m planning on wearing mine frequently and non-ironically. :-D The Clothesĭarla’s sweatshirt is awesome. You can have them hold the tinfoil in place by biting down on it with their teeth. I slipped it between the braces and twisted it behind my neck, so that there were no sharp ends.Īnother option is to forget about the fake teeth/braces altogether and make some headgear with tinfoil. A thicker wire would probably look better, but I wouldn’t have been able to weave it into the braces. ![]() If *I* were going to try trimming them, I would file the cut parts with an emery board.Īs for the headgear part, I used picture-hanging wire. You could also try trimming the teeth with very sharp scissors or a sharp knife, but I’m not sure it would work and I’m not responsible if you hurt yourself or your child. You’d have to check a Halloween costume store for something smaller if this Darla costume is for a child. These teeth would probably be too big for most kids, and they’re really the only fake braces that I’m seeing on Amazon. I used fake teeth with braces on them that are no longer available, but that might be a good thing: they were really uncomfortable! They seem to have been replaced by these, which look easier to use. Or, Rock N Roll Girl shirt with long sleeves (if the short-sleeve version shows up, scroll down the TeePublic page to see the long-sleeve version of the shirt).Purple sweatshirt (cotton or poly-cotton blend).Among all of the Halloween costumes I’ve ever worn, it is definitely my favorite! It turned out rather amazing, if I do say so myself. (And hey, if you’ve got more than two days, you can probably find a lot of this stuff in thrift stores or borrow it from friends!) Remember Darla? She’s the little girl with braces and pigtails who has a reputation for killing fish? Purple sweater, headgear, and a fish in a bag? I knew I could throw this funny costume together in two days! And so can you. For some reason Darla Sherman, from Finding Nemo, flashed into my brain. I just had too much to do before the trip to bother about a last-minute costume.īut then, two days before the conference, inspiration struck. The organizers made it clear that nobody should feel pressured. Last week I went to a blogging conference in Atlanta, and one of the parties was sponsored by Disney. And it was a costume party, which got me kind of stressed out. Do you need a costume in a hurry? How about Darla from Finding Nemo? I’m going to tell you everything you need in order to dress up in a cute Finding Nemo costume for Halloween!
