Keep on reading to find out how to make a great Velma costume.

Sorry there are some black dots on the pictures my camera wasn't working very well. :)

So a few tips for the sweater. IT'S ORANGE! NOT RED! NOT BROWN! ORANGE!!!

Velma's Sweater is a turtleneck. The sweaters I have are not turtleneck but in the 3rd picture I have an Orange Bolero or Shrug that I could wear an Orange turtleneck underneath, So... ya!

I got these sweaters at Savers. I am sure any 2nd hand store has one of Grandmas Ugly old sweaters you can buy. :) You can also get one online, but I did that before I got these and it didn't fit so if you want to take you chances that is fine too. :)

I got this skirt from Amazon.com. Velma's Skirt is pleated but any knee length red skirt would do just fine.

Or you can make one. Here's a link to an Instructable that shows you how to make one from scoochmaroo

The wig is a orange-ish brown color. It is styled in a short bob or sometimes there called Flapper Girl wigs. In the 3rd Picture there is a little white thing, that's a white nylon sock. I use it to push down my hair so it is easier to put the wig on. You can also use a Wig Cap. Stores usually sell them with the Wigs.

Some stores like Walmart, Target, Shopko, Fred Myer, etc... have a small selection of Wigs. If you go to a store that specializes in Halloween stuff like Halloween City etc... then you'll probably get a wider selection.

There's really not much to say about the glasses there just nerd glasses. Try to stay away from Circular and Oval Glasses.

These are the ideal Velma Shoes! Ruby Red Mary Jane school girl shoes. The brand in case you can't see in the photo is Funtasma.

Last but not least the thing that Completes the outfit......... Orange Knee High SOCKS!!!! These I got from Shopko. They are a little bit higher that my knees but they still look AWESOME!!!
