(Yes, he decided to take the pic of himself in this funky silver costume himself!)
This costume was worn to an early Halloween party just 5 hours ago by my friend! I made both the bodysuit and the tights/pants myself! (Note that the wig and the body paint/makeup were bought separately at a costume store!)
The bodysuit is a single-piece design long sleeve shiny silver metallic lame’ bodysuit featuring elastic at the leg openings and elastic at the neckline and sleeve cuffs for ease of wearing it on and taking it off! The bodysuit looks like silver aluminum, in fact, and the shade of silver goes good with the shiny silver lame tights/pants (which I also made), the shiny silver wig and the shiny silver body paint!
The fabric contents are as follows:
Bodysuit: 100% polyester (The bodysuit has a white backing that looks satiny and silky and feels very soft, satiny, slippery, and extremely silky)
Tights/pants:95% polyester – 5% spandex
