Dead High Fashion: The Zombie Halloween Costume

Zombie Halloween costumes are the most fun and interesting to create. There are so many variations to how zombies can look that you don't have to stick to one set formula for the costume. All you need to remember is that zombies are walking corpses and they need to look like they were recently killed.

This means you want to have a lot of fun with coloring your skin different colors like green or brown. But most importantly, you want to have blood stained clothes and possibly even blood coming from some area of your body. Obviously, you will be using fake blood that you purchase from an outlet or novelty store. If you want to get really creative and are limited on resources, you can use ketchup for the blood.

Clothes

You need to first choose what kind of zombie that you want to be. Are you a businessperson that
turned into a zombie? How about a cheerleader? Start off with clothes which resemble the type of person who was killed and then transformed into a zombie. So, if you were a business person then you would wear a suit and tie, dress shirt, khakis, and/or dress pants. If you are a cheerleader, then you would wear a short skirt which resembles the colors of a particular school. Whichever outfit you choose, make sure you won't want to wear it again in your regular life because you are about to really mess it up.

If you want to depict how the zombie was killed originally, you could use the fake blood to design wounds on the clothes which resemble stabbings or gunshots. If you have any specialized accessories, like fake knives, which you can have stuck out of your body, that would be even better. Otherwise, just squirt a bunch of fake blood in different areas of the clothing. For added appeal, make a few tears in the fabric of the clothing so that it looks scarier.

Basic Makeup

The makeup will be the most important part. You could have all the blood on your clothes that you want, but it won't make much of a difference if your face does not look like zombie's face. Therefore, you will want to either purchase a special zombie makeup kit or simply gather together some white face paint, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and black lipstick. These will be your essential makeup items for creating a scary zombie face. The end result should be a pale white face, black eye sockets, a black outline around the eyes, and black lips. If you want to add blood makeup to areas of the face, that will be good too.

Advanced Makeup

So far, you have a basic zombie look which includes blood-stained clothes and a zombie's face. If you want to take your zombie costume to the next level, you can use add contact lenses, prosthetics, and/or fake teeth. The most advanced will be the contact lenses because these will make your eyes actually look like zombie's eyes. You can get lenses that will make your pupils look green, yellow, black, red, or whatever else you want. Any full zombie costume will certainly have contact lenses like these. You can purchase them online at a number of Halloween stores.

Fake Teeth And Prosthetics

Fake teeth and prosthetics can be purchased anywhere, although the higher quality ones will need to be purchased at a Halloween store. Some of the prosthetics available can help create the appearance of stitched skin, facial deformities, scars, open flesh wounds, and hanging skin. As for the teeth, you can either use teeth makeup or just put it fake teeth entirely over your real teeth. The fake teeth will look green, rotten, and maybe even bloody! Just use your imagination and have fun with it.

Bare Necessities! Plus Size Intimates Embrace Your Curves

Every woman is unique and lingerie plays an important role in defining her persona. There is an intimacy that well-chosen inner wear provides and it cannot be replicated by anything else in the world. This is the feeling that women cherish more than anything else. Because much of this comfort depends on how good a fit is, choosing inner wear of the correct size is strongly recommended. Thus, while slim women should go for normal sizes, voluptuous ladies must opt for full-figured or plus-size lingerie in order to look perfect and feel comfortable.

From the manufacturer's perspective, the plus-size lingerie segment is potentially lucrative now, especially after having been overshadowed for all these years when 'slim-n-trim' ruled the roost. Thanks to all the attention that it has been receiving, nowadays there is an entire section of full-figure lingerie to choose from in sharp contrast to the bland options of yesteryears. What is even more encouraging is the ease with which this form of apparel can be chosen and bought in both online and offline stores in a variety of shades, styles, and fabrics.

A must-have inner-wear for every plus-sized woman is a corset. This need not be plain - in fact going

in for embroidered, strap-less, Zebra pattern or even ribbons and laces could definitely add the much-needed zing. Although the corset has been around since ancient times, its recent rise to fame can be attributed to its versatility. Due to its ability to provide a snug fit, highlight the right curves and conceal flaws, this garment is usually worn under a dress or combined with a pair of denims.

Panties are mandatory inclusions in every woman's wardrobe and functionality apart, these are now available in an amazing number of styles. Thus, her size notwithstanding, every woman can opt for a naughty, interesting or elegant version as per the situation. While a full-brief panty can be chosen for daily wear, variations like thongs and shorts can be chosen to cater for special occasions. Both are available in plus-size and while the former is meant to provide a dash of feminism, the latter serves a more practical purpose.

Chemise and teddy are categories of plus-size lingerie which can also be used as sleep-wear in addition to theirtraditional purpose. Chemises are universally regarded as being soft and feminine and true to their reputation, they assume the shape of the wearer without compromising on comfort. Silk, lace, and chiffon are some of the common fabrics in which chemises can be bought. A teddy could be best described as a single-piece innerwear which can be donned by itself at home or in combination with trousers.

One category of plus-size lingerie which has suddenly shot into the limelight is hosiery and it is a broad term that encompasses everything from suspenders to stockings and garter. While fashionistas opt for the fish-net and lacy fabrics, opaque tights are universally preferred owing to their all-purpose nature. These can be worn on any occasion and in combination with anything. Peignoirs and baby-doll styles are lingerie options which should be reserved for those special evenings.
