Product Information

We had to find someone connected to Alaïa and worry about if we could get the dress for free, if we could alter the dress to fit Alicia. Pin it all the way around, and then put it on to see if you’re actually able to get the skirt on without needing to add in a zipper. You’re going to sew the elastic to the top of the skirt, which will not only give it a clean finish but also give you four more inches! When you look at the ribbing, you’re going to see a little bit of a clean finish edge that looks a little better on one side than the other.

There was one tee that was cancer awareness, and we had one that was from an obscure bar in Austin—always thinking of fun cool messages throughout the film. She estimates that she made hundreds of costumes for the film because her team dressed every kid in the background of a party or in class. Place it on top of the skirt with the right sides touching, so you’re looking at the wrong side of the elastic. If you really want to be accurate, you can layer a yellow cardigan or sweater underneath, but folks will get the gist without it. I wanted to sew down the open part at the front of the skirt, but I decided to topstitch everything as a design detail.And while picking just one character to dress up as is great, we really do think the movie is perfect for those looking for duo or group ideas. The original jacket was not actually long enough to become its own cropped jacket and mini-skirt, as it was a regular-length blazer. When happy with the measurements, sew the elastic with a simple straight stitch, stretching your elastic a little bit as you go with a ¼-inch seam allowance. This simple white T-shirt and layered necklace look is a memorable—but also easy to throw together—option.

Check out this scary makeup look by talented artist Sarah McGray, and you'll never think of Cher's iconic feather pen the same way again. I topstitched the seam where the elastic was on the top, and then I just followed it and hemmed the entire piece with this little detail.Pin the elastic to the skirt, start with the center front, center back, right side, left side, and then evenly distribute any excess throughout the skirt.

So it makes sense that year after year, people are looking for Clueless Halloween costume ideas: you know you'll look good and everyone will love your getup. To sew, leave a very small seam allowance, maybe ⅛ inch right along the edge of the black ribbing, and sew it into place. The best part about using a plaid or a tweed is that there are straight lines you can follow, and you don’t need to measure or pin anything. The iconic '90s movie brought us everything from new vernacular to a different way to view being a teenager. And the phone and bottle holders I made—my friend just saw on ASOS they’re doing those chain bottle holders again 25 years later.And though Cher says she has a “way normal life for a teenage girl,” her closet has sparked a fashion fantasy that’s now older than Instagram. But perhaps its most famous for bring us incredible fashion trends, that just like everything else, seems to be making a major comeback these days.

Another iconic Cher fashion moment – the white Calvin Klein dress that her horrified father declares "looks like underwear. Whether you're shooting for Cher, Dionne, or Tai's plaid look this Halloween, you're gonna need a pair of knee socks to complete the ensemble. Do it across the front first, picking one line on your tweed to line it up so that it’s going straight all the way around the back. You could use this outfit as a Clueless costume, a Harry Styles costume, or just as a stylish addition to your closet. In one of her first scenes, Cher flicks through a computer app that shows a paper doll version of herself and various combinations of outfits.Especially in comedy, when actors can be big, the costumes can overpower, and if the costumes are big, that can overshadow the essence of it. These DIY costume ideas might not be super recognizable on their own, but together they make for an unmistakable trio.
