Dress Forms Ebay
Need help with a halloween costume, yes I know its only August. I’m planning ahead of time.?
Okay, when watching Invader Zim, I suddenly got a thought:
It would be cool to dress up as Gir for Halloween! I mean, Gir’s green dog disguise, not the normal robot form.

So, here are some good pictures of Gir, for reference:

Alright, now people, I’m not exactly on an unlimited budget, in fact, kind of a tight one. So please don’t be like, “Well I saw this costume on eBay it was like 700 dollars” or something like that.
Thank you so much! I appreciate any help.
Also, my friend wants to be the piggie alongside me. Those of you familiar with the show should know what i mean by “the piggie”, but to jog your memories:

Any suggestions for a piggie costume?
Oh I loved that show! Jhonen Vasquez *sigh* <3
how much can you aford? And can you sew? Not like expert sewing but do you know how? I'm no expert sewer myself but I made a bart simpson costume one year and it looked neat.
You could maybe try the same thing I did for the costume:
Go to a fabric store, or a thrift store or heck, look at home for old clothes in the colors you'll need. You'll need, green black, grey, and red. For your friend I'd look for pink. I think black, grey and red felt would be good for this costume for the ears, tongue and zipper. You'll also need old white tights for the eyes, get the tights so you'll be able to see. I purchased white kids tights at walmart fora dollar to make my bart costume. Walmart sells those tights on sale all the time!
Just simply sew the fabric into a Gir costume. It's actually kinda easy just use actual clothes and the images of Gir as your guide. For your friend I'd suggest doing the same thing and be a "Stand up human type pig" It'd be hard to look like that I reckon.
Perhaps you could also find a green hoodie, cut the arms off wear a black shirt under neath, use white, red, & black felt and either hot glue or sew the eyes on the hood. Same thing with the tongue and nose and ears. Use a black marker to make the stiching on the top look more apparent like Girs. Wear black pants. Try and pull the hoodie down on your face as you can but to where you'll still be able to see. Get your friend to wear pink pants and a pink hoodie. Use pink felt to make her a tail and sew that to the back of her pants. Also cut a circle of pink felt and using a black marker or tiny pieces of black felt make the little nose holes and glue or sew that the hood. Do the same with the eyes. This might be easier then my first suggestion.
Just try thrift stores like Goodwill r anywhere with cheapy clothes. You can get the felt and whatever at craft stores and the crafts department at walmart.
Good luck with your costumes! I wish I could see the finished products
