Make one out of what is already in the house

The constraint is the fun.

What you need

  • What is already in the house
  • One bought thing, at most

The trick

A coat and a hat is ninety percent of most things

Pick the silhouette out of the wardrobe first. The single detail you add after that is what names it.

Try this

  • All black, plus one wrong detail, is a dozen different costumes.
  • Borrowing from somebody taller changes the shape more than anything you can buy.
  • An hour of rummaging
