Step 1: Get inspiration for an appropriate uniform!
There are countless ways you can dress as formal or outrageous as you want.
A simple rag doll dress can be found at a store, or if you want a flowery dress, you can buy/make one! If you are going for a crazy psychopathic look make sure there's lots of colors! In this case you may want to search thrift stores for those psychedelic colored dresses with crazy patterns.
Another option is the Gothic look.
Look for anything that has a lot of black in it in a pattern such as lace or consider going all white or all black.
Another great idea is dressing up like a bride doll! Find a white formal style satin dress with lots of detail,get some tulle fabric or a tiara and add on the glamor with rhinestones in any color.
If you need to, add buttons and stitches on seams to make your costume more authentic. -
