A really popular choice of costume for women and girls is a cowgirl costume. Making your own cowgirl is quite easy so it is a great last minute costume idea which can be used for the likes of halloween or a fancy dress party.
Cowgirl Costume
You can make your cowgirl as authentic to history or as sexy as you want. The basis of this fancy dress is very much the same regardless of whether you go for historically accurate or sexy. Here is everything you will need to make your very own DIY cowgirl costume.
Cowgirl Shirt
 |
The first item of clothing you will need when making your cowgirl fancy dress is a shirt.
You should look for a western style shirt possibly featured a check pattern. This shirt can be worn tucked into your skirt or tied in a bow at the front. |
Cowgirl Skirt
 |
You could certainly wear a pair of denim jeans as part of your Cowgirl fancy dress. However, we would recommend that you wear a skirt instead.
We would recommend you choose a leather suede fringe skirt that has a western style to it. |
Cowgirl Shorts
 |
If you choose not to wear a skirt as part of your cowgirl fancy dress you can wear a pair of denim shorts instead.
These shorts are sometimes known as Daisy Duke shorts as a result of the Daisy Duke character in The Dukes of Hazzard. |
Cowgirl Boots
 |
No cowgirl costume would ever be complete without a pair of cowboy boots.
You can buy cowboy boots for women quite cheaply as well as spending a lot of money on a decent pair. |
Cowgirl Hat
 |
A cowboy hat is another important part of any cowgirl fancy dress.
You can use any cowboy hat for your fancy dress but a female specific cowboy hat will look best. |
Cowgirl Gun
 |
You will certainly need a gun for your cowgirl fancy dress.
Here is important to make sure you choose a western style revolver. |
