Statue of Liberty Costume

For the basics of the costume I got a green dress from ASOS for $20, then some cheap voile material to wrap around. Add in some green tights and green face paint (with shimmer) and I was good to start accessorising.

I made the crown from cutting round the shape of my head onto polystyrene and spraying green. Then the torch, I used an actual flashlight, wrapped in aluminium foil and added crepe paper flames so it actually lit up. To finish off, I attached a cardboard 'book' to a clutch bag to make the book to sit under my arm and job done. All for less than $40.
