I wouldn't cut the sleeves, though.

Thanks, that helps!

I feel cheesy with my crappy costume now haha

Oh don't hehe. My sister was a pirate last year and wore almost the identical costume as you. I didn't see her in person though my youngest sister is being a pirate THIS year and is wearing my sister's costume from last year... she just went to the goodwill and bought a bunch of stuff. hehe.

Lmao, Audrey, I love your costume. I think it's perfect if you act exactly like that as in the pictures. And go "ARRGGHHH!!!!" Hehe, those pictures made my day.

I think cutting the sleeves would look... odd... If you cut the collar off on that shirt, it'd be weird too, but if it wasn't so dressy of a shirt (without the buttons and the look of it being just ironed) I'd say go for it. I wish I could think of the fabric name, but we used it in a musical.. but the point is.. with THAT shirt, leave it as is.

Thanks, good point!

My dad has a stuffed parrot from the monty python skit with thedead parrot...so it's a stuffed parrot, with x's in it's eyes and it's tounge hanging out...as a joke, I thought I'd pin it to my shirt on my shoulder

It looks like a mighty fine outfit Audrey . Love the parrot idea. I too am going to a fancy dress party as a pirate tonight, one thing i forgot to get was a sword lol.

Have a great time.
