Contortionist Costume for Cosplay & Halloween
How to Make Contortionist’s Costume
| # | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Big Card Board | Cut a big circle on a board, it can be a meter in diameter and cut the center part that can fit your waist. |
| 2 | Red Cloth | Once the board is cut, use it as makeshift “table” and add table cloth with yards of red cloth. |
| 3 | Velcro | Then, velcro can be used to make sure the “table” and the “leg” are secured on top and can suspend the table on the waist. |
| 4 | Filler | Use this filler for the fake leg. |
| 5 | Tights | Stuff this pair of tights with the filler to make it look like a folded leg. |
| 6 | Pantyhose | Once the tights are filled wear this pantyhose over it. |
| 7 | Crop Top | For the final touch, you can wear this cropped top over the “table”, too. |
This contortionist costume is mostly DIY. First, secure a “table” that you can wear as a skirt by making a sturdy one out of boards or foam. Then drape a red cloth over it. For the folded leg, you can stuff full-leg tights with fillers then attach it on the table to complete your contortionist look.
