Rosie the Riveter

Who’s Rosie? She’s a feminist and cultural icon that was used to depict the women who worked in the factories during the Second World War. Rosie-Riveter

Target has a Rosie Riveter plus size costume in queen size for $34.99. It includes the shirt and headband.

You could easily make this costume with items from your closet:

For the bottoms you can use black capri pants like the ones shown or you could use mens jeans with the bottom cuffs rolled up. Even overalls would work.

Any dark blue cotton or denim work shirt would work with the sleeves rolled up passed the elbows.

If you don’t have a red headband you could easily pick up a bandanna from the dollar store. You can finish it off with a bunch of buttons and a black lunch box (also from the dollar store–paint it black and write Rosie on the side).

You can do it!
