Long-sleeved t-shirt <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">A long-sleeved t-shirt is a great base for a ship&#8217;s mate style pirate costume. Look for long-sleeved striped t-shirts in 2 colors &#8212; any color will do, but just build the rest of your costume color palette around the shirt colors.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Or, use a plain white or cream colored henley or thermal shirt.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">B. A women&#8217;s blouse <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">A plain white or off-white blouse makes a great pirate captain shirt (or other plain colors, if the details of the shirt fit the pirate aesthetic). If you are dressing your child but using an adult blouse, roll up the sleeves, or put a loose rubber band around your child&#8217;s wrist and tuck the cuff around it.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Things to look for in a pirate blouse:<\/strong> lace (especially at the neck or cuffs), an interesting non-modern detail on the front like pleating, collars or no collars are fine. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Things to avoid:<\/strong> zippers and snaps.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">C. Add a vest<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Add a vest over the base shirt to include another layer of detail. Dark, plain vests are best: black, brown, navy blue, and red are all good choices.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">D. Add a jacket<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">You can also add a women&#8217;s jacket if you have one that looks somewhat pirate-y.

Knee-length pants<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Many pirates wore short knee-length pants. Choose plain pants (black, brown, navy blue) or pinstriped pants and roll them up to the knee or tuck them into long socks. Plain, dark capri pants can also work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">B. Raggedy pants<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Get the shipwrecked pirate look by taking a pair of old pants and cutting them off jaggedly at the knee.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">C. Pirate skirt<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Twist the idea of the pirate costume by wearing a plain dark skirt. Who says girl pirates can&#8217;t wear skirts?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Assemble the Pirate Shoes and Socks:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">A. Choose knee-length socks in black, white, or stripes. Pull them all the way up to the knee.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">B. Wear black or brown shoes. Best shoes: dark boots, leather dress shoes or mary janes. Add an oversized cardboard buckle, if desired. Plain dark tennis shoes will also work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">C. Another option is to wear sandals without socks (good for the shipwrecked pirate look).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>Just Add Pirate Accessories (choose one or more):<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38606\" src=\"http:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/pirate-costume-halloween-craft-photo-220x165-hmann-08.jpg\" alt=\"The ultimate guide to creating a last-minute DIY Pirate Costume\" width=\"220\" height=\"165\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">The accessories really make your pirate costume. Try to have at least one of the classic pirate details: an eye-patch, a hook, or a sword.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">A. <strong>Belt\/Bandolier:<\/strong> The best pirate accessory is a wide belt with a large buckle, slung over one shoulder. A plain leather belt with metal buckle will also work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">B. <strong>Scarf Sash:<\/strong> Make a sash for your waist with a long lightweight scarf. Wrap it around the waist once or twice and knot at the side.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">C. <strong>Neckerchief:<\/strong> A white or plain-colored scarf (or piece of fabric) tied around the neck with the knot at the neck is a great pirate detail.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">D. <strong>Eye-patch:<\/strong> You can make an eye-patch if necessary, but it is far easier to buy one. Store-bought eye-patches fit well and look good.\u00a0You can find eye-patches at the dollar store (toy section), or at a drug store near the visual aids section.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><strong>DIY Eyepatch:\u00a0<\/strong>If you want to make an eyepatch, cut a half-circle piece of felt and tie on two pieces of ribbon or elastic. Adjust to fit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">E. <strong>Hook Hand:\u00a0<\/strong>To make a hook hand take a party cup (make sure the pirate&#8217;s fist can fit inside comfortably), cut a slit in the bottom of the cup. Insert a hook made from cardboard (cut a hook shape out) or the end of a plastic hanger. Secure with duct tape or hot glue. (Note: Avoid using wire hangers because they can be dangerous and cause injury).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1938\" src=\"http:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pirateboy.jpg\" alt=\"Add a pet parrot to a DIY Pirate Costume\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pirateboy.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pirateboy-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/dollarstorecrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pirateboy-399x599.jpg 399w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">F. <strong>Pet Parrot:\u00a0<\/strong>Use a toy stuffed parrot or other bird and attach to shoulder.

Hoop earrings are a good choice for girl pirates with pierced ears, or find a clip-on earring for pirates without pierced ears. You can find these at party or dollar stores.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">H. <strong>Accessorize with jewelry.<\/strong> A pirate medallion will do for a hard-working pirate, or clip on sparkly pins to a fancy pirate captain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">I. <strong>Pirate Weapons:<\/strong> Attach a sword or pirate gun to the costume.
