Floating Genie Halloween Costume
Another illusion costume for this Halloween is the magical floating genie. Light as a whisper, she can breeze through a party suspended in mid-air. The actual costume is not hard to make with just a few supplies from the craft store, thrift store, or even just around the house. The genie on the set of Marie. Marie is Lucille Ball, if you can't tell. Your wish is my command. Cover a 2 inch pad with a patterned satin, in this case, I found a satin robe that I hadn't worn in forever, I cut the arms off and sewed it in a rectangle stuffing the bottom through the robe. Whip-stitch edges of the fabric to seal. With an Exacto knife, cut an "x" 1/3 from back middle, big enough so you can work your body through it, but not too big that the mat will fall off of you, it's got to be tight and you can always cut it bigger if it is too, too tight. Start conservative. Use bamboo sticks to make legs, measure your actual legs to get the length...
