Before getting on costume clothes, paint nails black.
Place remaining ribbon around collar and tie into a medium bow.

Don't forget Wednesday's doll, and you're all set!

Other information to consider:
Cotume clothes and doll could be found at a thrift store.
Old tights can be used even if a knee is ripped.
If a doll is not available, a heavy thick book to carry is okay, it just may be harder to guess who you are.
