Cheap Poison Ivy Costumes - Lethal and Super Sexy

By Berry Spoke

For anyone looking for a sexy getup to wear to a St. Patrick's Day party, a Poison Ivy costume could be perfect. It is green, slinky, and just right for playing Gotham's green thumbed vixen.

There are many ready-made versions available to buy online, or one can make her own special version for the festivities.

Pinching will not be a problem on St Patrick's Day, unless someone gets fresh after seeing such a sexy siren.

Poison Ivy Costumes

The one thing all of the ready-made costumes have in common is that they are all green, but they can vary a great deal otherwise. Most of the outfits are leafy little mini-dresses in hourglass, strapless styles. The hem is usually decorated with many leaves, almost like a tutu. There are usually gauntlets included, as well. These may be made from solid or sheer fabric, depending on the maker.

The dress material itself can vary, too. Some are super shiny satin and others are more matte with stretchy polyester blends. Most of the costumes come with some type of hair ornament, like a headband that looks like foliage. They are usually pictured with matching tights, but not all sets include them. This is not a big deal because green tights and stockings can always be bought separately. There are some versions of Ms. Ivy's look that are all-in-one pieces, like a unitard. These have details printed on them, like leaves and “boots”. 

The price will usually dictate the detail and quality of the outfit, but buying a costume during post Halloween sales could allow a shopper to pick up one of the “deluxe” versions at a discount.

How to Make a Poison Ivy Costume Yourself

For ladies who like to make their own costumes, the green vixen's look can be easy to achieve. There are patterns available for a lot of themes, but one can use any mini-dress pattern or a bustier and mini skirt combination with green fabric. Gauntlets can be made without any pattern since they are basically just tubes of cloth. The seamstress can then add fabric leaves that are cut by hand or found in craft stores to the dress and gloves. There are many appliqués and cutouts available that would suit this look very well. These can also be used for the headband. A bit of fake vine from the floral section of the craft store would be a perfect detail, as well. Pairing this creation with green stockings, some high heels or boots, and the shocking red hair will make an unforgettable Poison Ivy costume.
