They gave me about a week's notice when I was supposed to dress him in blue for their 4th of July parade. And I think they told me on Monday to dress him as a pirate for Friday. I wish they had told me last week though - I could've done some shopping over the weekend.</p> <p>@artbee: Thanks! Yeah, onesie and bandana will have to be good enough I think. I'm assuming other parents don't just have pirate costumes lying around, so hopefully he doesn't look terrible compared to the other babies. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-922107 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:48:16 +0000 heffalump 922107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Lol, I'm sure the onesie and bandana will be cute! And I think they're only $1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-922100 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:47:34 +0000 cmomma17 922100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: my LO is not in daycare so excuse the dumb question, but is it normal for them to ask you to dress your child as a pirate on short notice? :) I'm totally intrigued/confused by this thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-922045 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:39:40 +0000 Adira 922045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: haha, honestly, I'm not sure what it's for! The daycare teacher just asked that I dress him as a pirate for Friday! I'm definitely not going to spend a lot of money on this or anything, though I might try to find a bandana tonight to tie onto his head and that with the onesie will probably have to be good enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-922036 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:37:23 +0000 heffalump 922036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: What's this party for? Is it super important? If it isn't I think it would be fine to put him in blue or brown...... call me cheap and lazy but you already have a cute pirate onesie and I feel like that's enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-922022 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:33:54 +0000 Adira 922022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Hmm... I didn't look for red, so I'm not sure. I don't think I have any though, haha. His wardrobe is full of blue and brown! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-921820 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 09:51:29 +0000 heffalump 921820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: What about red pants? I feel like pirate colors are always black, white, and red. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-921415 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 08:02:17 +0000 Adira 921415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: @Dandelion: Oh gosh, now I feel like I need to do a good job of it if I have to show you all what I did! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-921408 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 08:01:31 +0000 Ash 921408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Hilarious!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-921376 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:51:34 +0000 Dandelion 921376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just read this title and got so excited! I hope you share pics! I love babies and animals dressed up, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-921373 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:51:06 +0000 boiledpnut 921373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please post pictures of him dressed up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-921337 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:43:22 +0000 Adira 921337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: So I checked last night and I don't have black OR demin pants for Xander! WTF - Mom fail. </p> <p>I think I'm going to try to run to Walmart tonight before I pick up Xander from daycare and get him some black pants (if I can find any) and a bandana for his head. Hopefully it'll fit... he has a big head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-921302 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:36:14 +0000 heffalump 921302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So fun! I don't have any original ideas..... I think these ladies already gave you good ones. If you don't have black pants, what about denim? I think if you don't want to ruin the pants it would be fine not to cut them..... but it would be super cute if you did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-921237 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 07:02:30 +0000 Adira 921237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: LOL!!!! Love your first thought! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918817 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 09:10:51 +0000 Cherrybee 918817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought was chop his leg off and poke his eye out. Maybe I'm not cut out to be a mother!!!</p> <p>If you have a stripy top or onesie, you could pop him in that. Then, if you have a black, brown or dark blue top he has grown out of or you don't mind cutting up you could cut it into a shaggy waistcoat for him to go over the top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918760 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:57:16 +0000 Adira 918760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: Yep, I know exactly what you mean about the pants! I'll have to check - I'm not actually sure I even have black pants for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918733 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:52:27 +0000 delight 918733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally!! Either of those would work too! Then just use a little eyeliner. A red or black bandana would be good...do you have any old t shirts you could rip up? If you have black pants that you are putting him in that you can afford to get rid of after, you can also cut up the bottoms into little triangles. Like what Johnny Depp would have in Pirates of the Carribean? Like shaggy bottoms if that makes sense? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918579 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:15:10 +0000 Adira 918579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: I actually have a onesie that has a bunch of little skulls and crossbones all over it. Do you think that would work? I also have a onesie that says "Argh! Change me booty!" I was thinking I'd put him in one of those. What do you think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918566 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:12:28 +0000 delight 918566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: love the title of this thread! Can you get some fabric paint and do a skull and crossbones on a onesie? You could likely just find a pattern on the Internet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918565 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:12:13 +0000 Adira 918565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Oh, interesting t-shirt idea! I'll have to look into that! And I'm not sure I'll have time to run to Walmart, but I may have to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918558 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:10:18 +0000 MrsTiz 918558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: do you have an old t'shirt? you could cut the sleeve off of one and then slip that over his head? (the cuff of the sleeve around his head and then the sleeve part covering the top?) you could run to wal-mart and grab one or a bandanna before friday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918549 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:06:37 +0000 Adira 918549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha, love the eyeliner mustache idea!!! I never would have thought of that!</p> <p>Gahh, I don't think I have a red scarf or bandana that I can use to make a sash or tie on his head. That would be AWESOME. Damn unpreparedness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918537 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:03:22 +0000 loveisstrange 918537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>White onesie, black leggings and maybe a red scarf/bandana/fabric scrap tied around his waist as a sash? And, of course, an eyeliner mustache. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918524 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:00:50 +0000 MrsTiz 918524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a striped shirt?<br /> Pencil eyeliner?<br /> Felt + string?</p> <p>I'd throw him in a white (or striped) shirt, black pants and black or red socks. Tie a bandanna or scarf around his head and draw him a beard/mustache on with eyeliner. If you're feeling crafty you could DIY a little eyepatch for him</p> <p>this looks easy enough : </p> [attach=2456/13/mpq1hf.300x448.pirate_baby.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918523 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 08:00:34 +0000 Mrsbells 918523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would google baby dressed as pirate and get inspiration. I would make a patch firstly and then tie a scarf on his head. You also draw skull and bones on a white onesie </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-to-dress-baby-as-a-pirate#post-918518 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 07:58:32 +0000 Adira 918518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay ladies (and gents), I need some help! I'm supposed to dress Xander as a pirate for Friday and I have noooooooo idea how I'm supposed to do that! He's 4 months. I don't have time to go shopping and buy any supplies. What would you do? </p>
