This homemade costume for women entered our 2017 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Natalie, the 'The Lady and Kong' costume creator:

I bought a blanket-sized piece of furry black fabric at a yard sale for only a dollar! I was very excited to make something with it for Halloween. Browsing online costumes, I saw a "carry me" type costume where the lower half was a bear. Knowing how hot it would be to wear a full size fur costume, this idea seemed perfect. Black furry...gorilla! Carrying a Lady, of course!
The gorilla body was easy to make, held up by suspenders. The chest was from a child's superhero costume painted black. The arms made with swimming pool floating noodles. The gorilla head was challenging, I could not find a suitable mask to use so I had to create it all from scratch. Using foam, bouncy ball eyes, plastic teeth, wire, and a lot of hot glue, then covering it with fake leather and fur - it turned out better than expected! The Lady legs are also pool noodles, melted to shape ankles, feet, and toes, with padding added for calves and thighs, then covered in a few pairs of little pantyhose. The little high heels are styrofoam, cardboard, lots of hot glue, then painted. My first attempt were carved from wood, but turned out too heavy for the legs. The rear view showed a peak of pantied butt through the shredded dress, made of nylon and stuffing. Fully dressed I wanted the Lady to look extravagant with big hair, gaudy jewelry, and drag queen style makeup. It all came to quite an amusing sight!
