Carbon Costume

Cody (voiced by Joseph Balderrama) is one of the protagonists of the adventure game It Takes Two.  Cody and his wife May are in the midst of a separation when their minds are transferred into two dolls made by their daughter Rose.  They must put their issues aside to find their way back to their bodies.  Cody’s doll appearance includes green hair, an orange sweater, and patchwork pants.  Top off your wig with a green antenna headband and create your button pin from a paper plate.  You can also cut plates into the shapes of the leaves that appear throughout Cody’s costuming.  Don’t be afraid to take your crafting scissors to your sweater as well in order to achieve the perfectly imperfect look from the game.  Top it all off with some rope wound around your midsection and right forearm, as well as a pair of tan shoes.

May (voiced by Annabelle Dowler) is one of the protagonists of the adventure video game It Takes Two.  The mother of Rose and wife of Cody, May finds her mind transported into a doll her daughter has made in the midst of her separation from her husband.  Cody is transported as well and they must work together to find their way home.  May’s doll likeness includes blue hair made of yarn, a yellow sweater with a blue button and rope details, patchwork pants, and a pair of black shoes.  She also wears black round-framed glasses.  To recreate her costume, take a pair of scissors to a turtleneck sweater.  You can style a blue wig into a bun and then wrap yarn around it to get closer to May’s appearance in the game.  You can also fashion a blue button from a paper plate, and add stitching details with the remaining yarn if you feel up for a little sewing.

This is a follow-up article to the previous Doll one I did, but this one will be covering her performance outfit. If you would like to read up on how to make her Freckles look, it’s linked here!

I included the wig and scar makeup used in the prior tutorial, but you can’t see them past the headpiece usually, so that’s optional if you want to use them or not. This outfit is a lot more showy than her civilian outfit, mostly capitalizing on a rose motif. The dress is puffed up with a white rose petticoat trim, the headdress is comprised of white roses, and the rest of her accessories also mirror that theme. She emulates almost a ballet dancer stylized doll, while doing her tightrope balancing act.

For the parasol you may need to paint the handle if you want it to be completely accurate, and for the tights I was unable to find a pair split exactly in that style, so I included two pairs of long socks, please just use one from each to have the same effect.
