Seriously, how the hell can I make a Henry VIII outfit?

I'm desperate. Renting is out of the question.

If anyone has a fur coat I can borrow, I will officialy be your bitch.



  • tough

    I'd go with the wives thing. Either you can pick them up with your legendary skills and then kill them, or just strap six blow-up dolls to yourself.

    • ^ THIS

      could be good. Failing that go for the furs.

    • that is superb

      utterly superb

  • Big brown coat

    Brown leggings
    a crinkled hanky down your front

  • Dude

    If you update me on ur life on a status update and on here I might have to kick u in the nuts

    • No need for that

      • :) I know but i'm an utter bitch

        ask a fat man if he has a big coat and shave a ginger DiSer/neighbour in their sleep

        • I don't have a big coat

          Sorry Rich.

  • Can you hire a ruff at least?

    That's the key ingredient. I'm sure a female friend will own a beret which would pass as a hat. As for the cape- use an old velvet curtain.

    Buy some brown tights/leggings, or wear white football socks. I have some white fencing ones which would do the trick.

    • Is this something to do

      with The Apprentice?

      • :D

        I would love it if "making a Henry VIII costume" was one of the stages in the interview/audition process.

        • I would inevitably fail

          • ps What's happened with that form and stuff?

            Please make a real go of it. It would be brilliant.

            • Ok OK

              I will print off another one and do it properly. Just for you Phil.

              Although if you go to the press I will gut you like the fish that you are.

  • six girls

    two of whom are prepared to sacrifice their heads for the night.

    you could probably make that funny neck thing out of a big strip of card folded concertina-style.

  • I need to somehow look like Winston Churchill as well.

    Someone make me fat and bald.

    • Just ask for some chemotherapy

      • ...

        How is that going to make him fat? You haven't thought this through.

  • Pork Chops

    or chicken legs

  • You could do it

    by using a lot of paper.

    If you're nice to me I'll help you.

    • Ok

      Kayleia, you've always been my favourite. Please help me. Please.

      xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

      • The way I would do it

        is wear black trousers, and maybe some boots. Then get a red t-shirt, or a shirt in like xxxl size. Stuff yourself up so you look really fat. Then cut out a white bit and then trim it with some gold spray painted dolie. team up with a waistcoat? if it's velour, the better. Then buy a tiny hat like a beret and stick a massive feather in it. Also carry around a fit bird all night and a leg of chicken. and maybe a stick. don't forget a beard!

        • I'm going to combine your ideas

          with sophies ideas vvvvvvvvv

          xxx

          • See, I am nice to you

            :P

        • oh yes make a ruff

          out of some concentina paper!

          genius. outfit may be destroyed.

  • I can make you a ruff

    and a beard, you can buy a beret well cheap. I'm making a pillbox hat and a rosette for my Jackie Kennedy costume on Saturday, shall we have a craft day together?

    • Sophie, you are a star

      Yes, lets do that.

      • brill

        come to my house on Saturday afternoon. I live just down the road from a sewing shop! I have a sewing machine! I'm surrounded by shops and markets selling cheap crap!

        • Incredible

          I will be the best Henry VIII, since, well, Henry VIII

          Right, who wants to be one of my wives

          • What are the conditions?

            • Don't piss me off

              Or I will behead you.

              • I'll piss you off

                so I won't even apply!

  • White Tights.

    Tight cycling shorts on top.
    Black work shoes for your suit.
    Silver buckles on them made with tin foil.

    Gold foil for stuff around your neck.
