Sally Cosplay Costume
Sally is a character as beloved as Jack himself in The Nightmare Before Christmas, making her a popular choice for cosplay.
Sally’s most iconic feature is perhaps her stitched-together blue skin. You can find tights with stitch designs and draw the rest on your arms and face using face paint. Using face paint, you can also turn your skin blue before applying the stitched-up look. Don’t forget to recreate her vibrant red lips that contrast her blue skin. You can do this with any bold red lipstick that you have, making it a convenient detail to add to your cosplay. Bodypaint will come in handy for turning the other visible parts of your body blue as well. Then, you can draw on the stitches and complete the look perfectly.
The Sally costume dress is a popular item that you can buy online ready-made. She has long, vibrant red hair that is straight as a pin and goes down her back. You can most likely locate a wig that looks the same. White and black socks paired with lace-up ankle boots will help tie the entire look together.
About Sally From The Nightmare Before Christmas
This is a stop-motion feature film about the story of Halloween. In her attempt to get away from Dr. Finkelstein, Sally falls out of a window in a tower and falls to pieces. But then proceeds to stitch herself back together. She has the power of precognition. When she goes to stop the Christmas disaster from happening, she is caught by Oogy Boogy. But luckily Jack Skellington rescued her.
Sally has a crush on Jack Skellington that blossoms into true love throughout the movie. First, she is simply too shy to say anything about her feelings. Ultimately, circumstances give her the chance to do so anyway. Sally receives a negative premonition about Jack’s plans to bring Christmas to Halloween Town. To help, she steps in to warn him. It turns out by the end of the movie that Jack Skellington seemed to know about her feelings all along. This makes the moment sweeter when she finally confesses to it.
