Sing-a-long-a-Hairspray Costume Help!

Nichola80, 26 September, 2008 at 12:52 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 7

In a couple of weeks time I'm going to see Sing-a-long-a-Hairspray with some friends from work (5 of us going, 2nd row seats) and I want to dress up. I went to the Sound of Music version a few months ago and went as a 'Brown paper package tied up with string' which was easy enough.

However, I can't go out shopping at the moment as I'm stuck on crutches for a while longer and I can only walk a short while so online shopping is my only friend so I thought I'd ask you lovely people of Hitched to give me some inspiration and ideas!

I'm size 18/20 so that makes things a little more tricky, although it shouldn't as several of the main characters are that big or bigger! I've looked at fancy dress stuff and found some official stuff but it was rather pricy to ship over so given that up. Here is what I'd looked at for a mo.

Any ideas anyone?

    I think that idea is fab, I guess with Hairspray you need to go dressed as either one of the characters or a giant can of hairspray and I know which I'd prefer!

    How about this wig? https://www.joke.co.uk/showPart_large.asp?part=10720

    Plus a white blouse and a checked skirt which you can get almost anywhere at the mo.

    There's plenty of wigs available yeah, that's going to be the easiest bit. I've been hunting for a checked skirt online but without joy yet.

    I'm open to any ideas really. I did fancy going as Motormouth Maybelle as I love her song 'Big Blonde and beautiful'!

    Can anyone help me? A shameless bounce I know but having watched the film again its renewed my desire to sort out my costume. I think I'd rather go as Motormouth Maybelle as her outfits touch the floor and seeing as though I'm bandaged up and using a crutch the bandages wont stand out so much if I'm wearing something to the floor!

    Try searching for kaftans on ebay. There are loads of Maybelle style dresses and some of them are truly hideous - so you get a laugh at the same time!
