How to Make a Dread Pirate Roberts Style Costume
- 1). Wear a pair of plain black pants and a black long sleeved shirt. The shirt should be loose and have puffy sleeves that gather at the wrist. Leave the neckline open several inches in front and tuck the shirt into the pants.
- 2). Tie a length of black material (depending on your waist size) around your waist for a pirate sash. The sash should be long enough to knot securely at one side, while allowing approximately 8 to 12 inches hanging down.
- 3). Wet your hair and comb it straight back. Over the top, place the black bandanna and tie it in the back securely.
- 4). Measure a length of black material approximately 6 inches in width to twice the circumference of your head in length. Measure the spot where your eyes are and cut holes accordingly. Wrap the mask around your head and tie it firmly in a knot in back.
- 5). Tuck the bottoms of your pants into tall, black boots. Ideally the boots should reach to just below your knee. Allow the pants to blouse out a little at the top.
- 6). Complete the look with a dueling sword, black gloves and a pencil thin mustache on your upper lip.
