    Roll up your pants so they look like breeches and put on a big pair of boots. Wear a white button-up shirt or a corset. Then, accessorize with layers of belts, an eye patch, and bandanas.

    The easiest way without sewing is to find a long, frilly dress at a thrift store. A frilly shirt with a long skirt will work as well.
