Question

Can I get all this at thrift stores?

Community Answer

Not everything. You might be able to find items of clothing, but you will be very lucky to find the rarer items such as knee-length boots, mockingjay pin or a bow and arrow.

What if I don't have some of the stuff?

Community Answer

Try and incorporate some of the things you do own or customize things yourself with fabric paint, etc. You might fight cheap items at thrift/second hand shops as well.

Question

What other shoes could I wear instead of boots when dressing like Katniss Everdeen?

Community Answer

You can try black Converses. If they look beaten up or dirty, that would look better than a brand new pair.

I have short hair, is that okay?

Yes, You can still look like her. The main part is, try to still put your hair in a braid because that is Katniss's trademark thing.

If your hair is long enough, do a french braid. If it's not, do something that's neat but messy.

Question

How do I make my outfit look like it's on fire?

Community Answer

Try adding sequins or glitter to the bottom of the dress. For an even better look, try gradually putting less and less sequins/glitter as you go higher up the dress.
