60s Go go girl costume tutorial

The countdown to halloween has begun! Yayyyy so why not do a DIY costume tutorial?! This is a costume tutorial for a 60s Go Go Girl costume. I love 60s fashion so I decided why not make a dress?!

You will need: white fabric paint (I needed two of these size) 


A paint brush and a sponge 


And I TINY bit of water just to soften the paintbrush 

Tape (I used masking tape but you can use duct tape I just didn't have any) 


And a black bodycon type dress 


You also need a plastic sheet to put under the dress so paint doesn't get on the table and a plastic sheet in the middle ofte dress so the paint doesn't leak on to the other side of the dress 

Step 1: mark out we're you want the white squares to go, remember that underneath the tape is black so don't put the tape exactly half way unless you want more of the dress black than white. 


Step 2: start to paint the squares remembering to be careful around the edges so uo don't get white on the other side of the dress 


You will need to apply a few coats as the paint doesn't dry as heavy as when you apply it. 

Step 3: when your happy with the amount of paint you've applied sponge over the paint to get rid of any streaks that the paintbrush has made 


Step 4: blast with a hair dryer and leave to dry fully for at least 3 hours. 


Then remove the tape and you are done!
