Elizabeth Swann
A character from Pirates of The Caribbean and governed by the Disney licensing laws.
Elizabeth's costume changes many times throughout the three films. She wears georgian dresses, long, off white shift dress and full shirt, long waistcoat and pantaloons when she is pretending to be a male crewman.
Pirate Crew
These costumes tend to be similar to the men with a striped top, pantaloons or skirt, sash tied at the waist and a bandana or hat. This costume should be easy to put together.
Just take some old jeans (other trousers or skirts will also be suitable) and cut them down, the more ragged the better. Use an old shirt, it doesn't matter if you do not have a striped top, and again cut it down. Use a belt arouond your waist - you can purchase pirate belts, or use an old one. This is your basic costume, use whatever accessories you decide on to create y our own unique outfit.
Mary Read
Mary Read was born in 1685 in England and was only 1 of 2 known women pirates. Ladies on board ship were considered to be unlucky and Mary had to dress as a man.
Ladies will need to use a small mens costume, or alternatively, look for a Prince Charming | Principal Boy style of costume, which will suffice for this character.
Anne Bonny
Anne Bonny is probably the most famous female pirate. She was a ruthless plunderer, raider, and menace to the sea faring vessels in the Caribbean Sea. She is commonly referred to as "Toothless Annie". Although she dressed and fought as a man, she was soon discovered and instead of bowing down to the pressure from the crew, she killed all who opposed her. Not a lady to have a row with! To get the 'toothless' look, use tooth wax. This covers your chosen teeth with a black putty and gives the impression of teeth missing. This character should dress manly, see Mary Read.
