Dressing as a pirate on the cheap.

[DTS]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This sunday my mate Sweatys bird is having a 30th birthday party.

She is obsessed with Pirates or the Carribean for some reason and has decided everyone has to dress as a pirate.

Now if it was a close mate I would push the boat out (excuse the pun) and buy an outfit etc etc. However as its a mates bird who I dont really know I am going to cut corners.

Basically I have no shopping days left bar Sunday and I need to get a convincing pirate outfit.

Ideas are welcomed as to what I could do to look pirate like. I will aware rep to the most helpful suggestions....

Cheers
DtS

cut down jeans, white t-shirt, hanky on your head and loads of mens jewellery......oh and don't wash for a couple of days....:p

Chopping half your leg off and replacing it with a wooden one would look good :p

But seriously Pirate is such a loose category, some tatty old jeans, old t-shirt with some ripped holes, obviously an eye-patch (if you have one) and of course an almighty sword!

Is this any good ?

Charity Shops. They are great for cheap party bits and bobs. Or find a party shop, or maybe some cheapy shops in town.

Worked wonders for us students at uni.

6 quid... sorted and especially good if loads of people don't bother dressing up, you can just wear normal clothes

Dress exactly the same as your mate usually does, do your hair the same as his, but make sure everything is less quality.

Then you can be a pirate copy


I'll get my coat........

I can lend you a small parrot

You could always borrow my friend Penny's knickers.

Then you could go as the Pirate of "Pens pants"

Door, Open... Gone!

After watching the Dirty Sanchez movie last night, to be an angry pirate all you need to do is pour rum/gin into your eye and get a mate to kick you in the shin.

Grow some sort of facial hair. Cut off jeans, a striped t-shirt and a hanky on your head and you're almost there. You can get an eye patch for about 50p.

My wife is having to dress as a pirate for her sister's hen do and as she's quite small was able to buy a kid's pirate outfit for about a quarter of the price. Lucky cow :rolleyes:

Being a Uni Student, I'm an expert at dresing up on the cheap.

Pirate = Black and White stripe T-Shirt, Long socks with trousers tucked into them, Red bandana kind of thing with an eye patch, sword and hat set from some joke shop. Draw on some joke facial hair and your set...

You leave me out of this Stringfellow, perhaps you should be lending some of your earings?

I thought a buccaneer was one of those things on the side of your buccanead.:p

A set of crutches borrow a parrot from the local pet shop, plenty of curtain rings for your ears, research Robert Newton saying "Jim lad" and you're away with it.
