Tong’s three Halloween costume ideas

1️⃣ A ghost bride from China.

Wearing the most horrifying costume on the most joyous day is an important part of Chinese horror culture. For Asian children, a ghost bride in traditional attire is a hundred times scarier than a bride in a blood-stained wedding dress.

Materials: LED lights

Wire

Beaded strings

Red chiffon

A traditional Chinese bridal gown

2️⃣ a fairy carrying clouds.

This is a fairy with a glowing, color-changing rain cloud above its head, wearing a coat woven from raindrops. It can control the rain.

Materials: LED lights

Glue gun

Fiber optic cables

Chiffon

Cotton

3️⃣ a female gunner (Gatling)

One thought on “Tong’s three Halloween costume ideas”

  1. Nice brainstorm, Tong! Something all three of your ideas have in common is an LED headpiece, so I suggest narrowing in on that as the one element to add LEDs to, rather than also having them on the legs and body– this is a practical suggestion for the scope of this project/time we have to finish it. So whichever concept you pick, I’m looking forward to seeing a more detailed sketch.
