DIY Flamingo Costume

I made this costume for a breast cancer run at the zoo. It was in Arizona, in September & it was humid. I purchased a flamingo hat at the thrift store, hand painted a pair of flamingos on a tank top & wore pink shorts with crazy socks. I made a bustle tutu of 12 dollar store boas & about 30 yards of tulle. To get a fuller effect in the bustle, there are multiple layers of tulle. I had to stitch the boa pieces onto the waistband & throughout the tulle bustle.
