By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Find out how to make this simple yet creative Halloween costume. Follow these directions and you can dress up as Miss America.

Materials Needed:

  • Fabric Scrap or Extra Wide Ribbon
  • Craft Glue
  • Glitter
  • Gown
  • Dress Shoes
  • Tiara
  • Costume Jewelry

Instructions:
You can wear an old bridesmaid or prom dress. Check out your local thrift shops or ask friends if you do not have one. Make a sash using a piece of scrap fabric or extra wide ribbon.

From Sherri: For a funny twist, write the date on the sash several years in the past and dress up as an old lady!
