Supplies for a David Bowie Halloween Costume

Video Transcript

Hi, This is David Jackel on behalf of Expert Village. And I am here to talk to you about how to find supplies for your David Bowie costume. So once you have picked out the specific costume design that you want it is time to get the supplies and there are different ways to do this. One thing you can do is look on line and see different options there. You can do a Google search and you can find items in Ebay, stuff like that, but I find it is more fun to actually go out and find stuff in stores. One place you can look is a costume shop because there you can find items like a wig which you definitely want to get at a costume shop because you have the most options there and you really don't want to get something like this at a second hand store. You don't want to wear a wig that someone else had been wearing. A second hand store though is also a good place to look especially when you are getting things like pants and top because there you can find items from the 70's and the 80's that really match what you are looking for. So for example, this jacket here comes from a second hand store. It is not very expensive, it has a cool design and it can be altered pretty easy. Another place you can look is a basic retail store where you're finding items that really have to be tailored to you and you don't need someones second hand clothing. So in the case of tights like these I didn't want to go to a second hand store. I had to go to a retail store to get these, because I could get the exact color I was looking for. And of course you are going to need to go to a drug store to get make-up and you will want to go to a place that sells cheap jewlery like a costume jewelry store to get costume jewlery. Another thing you can do is check with female friends and relatives who may have old clothing they can lend you, stuff from the 70's and 80's. It's important to take advantage of resources you already have like people who already have clothing that you can use or going to your closet and finding old stuff you can use because there is no sense spending a huge amount of money on a costume that you are only going to wear once.
