For Pocahontas, I tried several methods on how to best do the tattoo she has on her arm; and found that getting a temporary tattoo made was the easiest option. Yana Stephens: it reminds me of Pocahontas necklace :D and I'm going to do this since I'm gonna be Pocahontas on Halloween lol! Tanya Ducharme: pocahontas necklace! Morgan Capalbo: Where did u get the ring? I didn’t see many Pocahontas running costumes out there on the interwebs, and only saw 1 other person at the marathon in Pocahontas so here’s a quick summary of how I put the costume together. With the exception of the belt, if you have basic sewing skills you should be able to figure this out. Reference photo: Start with an oversized men’s wicking shirt. I bought mine on e. Bay. First sew the side seems: Put it on, the pinch and pin to measure how much you need to take it in. Take it off, turn it inside out, and sew the new side seams up. Next, cut off one shoulder and trim the armholes. When it comes to the side without the strap, cut it much higher than you think it should be and trim down as needed. This will help prevent the front from hanging too low. Try it on and pinch/pin again to make adjustments then sew again. Cut the bottom into a triangle shape. Since it’s a running costume, I made it a shorter tunic- length instead of knee length. Sew the fringe on the front of the dress and along the bottom hem. I started by using an old white t- shirt cut up into fringe, but I didn’t like how that looked. It reminded me of fringed t- shirts you buy on the beach boardwalk. I happened to see this fringe in the trim section of Joann’s. On Pocahontas’ costume, the fringe is lighter than her dress. Next, add a brown belt. You could just tie a ribbon or piece of fabric around your waist, but I thought turning it into a utility belt would be better. I originally wanted to make this belt, but the fabric of the wicking shirt wasn’t stretchy enough. Instead, I followed this tutorial for a Spibelt copy. It took me a half day to figure out this belt. I kept looking at the poor instructions and turning the fabric pieces every which way, hand basting it to see if it was right, and repeating that x 1. The result was worth it! I figured if it bothered me at all, I could just throw it out while running. It didn’t bug me at all. Missing piece: tattoo! I didn’t have anyone to draw on the armband tattoo but it would have been awesome. Just get a red sharpie and color away. Cost: The entire costume cost me $2. I wanted to spend. I could have made it cheaper if I had more time to. I guess when you consider that I can reuse the belt, the cost is more reasonable. Jo. Ann fabrics didn’t have beige or brown spandex and I didn’t want to spend the minimum required on the online fabric websites, so I just bought men’s XL moisture wick shirts on e. Bay in beige and brown. The beige color was called “Vegas Gold”. I only needed 1/4 yard of brown for the belt, so I overpaid by a lot. I don’t know how the fringe will wash but I’m guessing it won’t be good. Items from my stash: zipper and blue fabric for necklace. The costume worked out perfectly. I was cool, dry, comfy, and I had pockets! It was also neat that there weren’t many Pocahontas’ so it was original, and people could cheer for me just by yelling Go Pocahontas! I hope it works out just as well for you! Leave me a comment if you end up making a Pocahontas costume for your next run.
