Find out how to make this simple yet creative couple Halloween costume, follow these directions submitted by Robert Boston II and you and a partner can dress up as an Upper and Lower G.I.

Materials Needed:

  • Army Fatigues
  • Army Boots
  • Army Dress Clothes
  • Army Dress Shoes

Instructions:
This is a great costume idea for the 'older crowd'. Most parties that are for the 20-somethings and younger don't understand the concept: Upper and Lower G.I. as in the medical term...

One person wears the pants and boots of the army uniform, and then nice suit jacket and tie. They will be the "lower G.I."

The other person wears the fatigue shirt complete with camo makeup on face and a matching 'boonie hat' or fatigue cap, on the top and a nice skirt or dress slacks and dress shoes. They will be the "upper G.I."

Again, this is a very fun costume for couples, but make sure the party consists of those who will understand the concept.
