- 1). Gather together all the basic clothing items you will need to make the costume. If you don't have an old pair of leather pants, a long, black or brown skirt with dark-colored leggings underneath will also work. Find a light-colored button-down shirt with long sleeves, a bandanna for your head, and a vest. If you don't need these clothing items for any other purposes, make strategic cuts in them with a pair of scissors to make them look worn and tattered. For example, you can cut a hole in the knee of your pants or a rip across the shoulder of your shirt. If you like, you can even rub dirt into the clothes to make them look dirty and more authentic.
- 2). Put on the basic clothing items first like the pants or skirt and the shirt. Tuck the shirt in and then put on your vest and tie the bandanna around your head. You can pull your hair back into a ponytail or put it in braids. Pull on a pair of boots to complete the basic lady pirate look.
- 3). Add different pirate accessories to your outfit to complete it. What you use as accessories will depend on what you already have lying around your home, and what you decide you can afford to purchase at your local party or costume store. Use things like flashy earrings, a tattered scarf around your waist, a toy sword, beads in your hair, or a pirate's hat.
