Their are lots of tutorials online including this one, but the basics are white skin and cupid lips. She has a lot less color in her hair than I do, so it's a personal preference on how much you want to add. Speaking of hair, I found a blond Marilyn Monroe wig, teased the hair to make it big and used pink hair spray to add color. I twisted it around on itself and sewed it at the bottom to make a giant flower and bobby-pinned it to my hair. For the flower in my hair I used some of the leftover tulle. I am terrible at sewing, so if I could achieve this then so can you. I cut the flowers off and sewed them to a thick piece of black ribbon that I made into a choker with a couple snaps. After not finding the perfect skirt I ended up ordering this plum pencil skirt off of Amazon.įor the flowers around her neck, I bought a flower bouquet at the Dollar Store. then I used a belt to give the cinched waist that she had. I decided the color would be fine and added lots of tulle in the sleeves to get the puffier effect. Eventually I found this one that is lighter in color and the sleeves were not as puffy as I wanted. I searched all my local thrift stores to find a fuchsia, puffy-sleeved shirt. The most difficult item to find was the shirt. So, as you can see, my costume is more in the style of Effie than an exact copy. For those of you who aren't familiar with The Hunger Games, here is what Elizabeth Banks portraying Effie looked like:Įlizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket and Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss One girl ran across the room, just to hug me so I guess it worked. Walking around the Con people were calling me Effie. I know it is not an exact replica of her reaping outfit, but I must say everyone knew who I was.

As I don't have very many sewing skills, nor a lot of money, I decided to try and hobble something together from thrift stores. This year I decided to join up with all the wonderful Cosplayers out there and went as Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games.
