I have ideas to make the Clockwork Orange costume from the movie.
I am going to make the girl version though. I have the derby hat, a white skirt, a white button up shirt, boots, eyeballs for the clothes, the eyelashes, a cane, and things to make a paper meche mask out of a clear face mask and a witches nose. I also need to know how to do paper meche, is it with just glue or what?

Most paper mache is done with torn shredded paper and wallpaper paste or flour paste. Flour paste is cheap and if not to thick will dry faster than almost any other adhesive. If you rip newsprint into thin ribbons it usually forms well without wrinkles. If you want no printing or dyes in it you might be able to get end of rolls from the local newspaper. Or art paper out of an art supply but that will cost. tear the paper instead of cutting it because torn paper has fibery edges that blend in, cut paper has solid edges that leave little ridges. Have fun.

Ok, whoever said that this costume is overdone, well they should consider the amount of people who go as a witch or dracula.
the stuff you've got so far all sounds pretty good, and papier mache is really simple. it's just newspaper and papier mache mix.

EASY, overdone and over raited. How unique! But any way, white face paint red lipstick, draw long eye lashes under one eye. Tan baseball pants tucked in sports socks. Sports jock cod piece on the outside of pants. If u dont have that then a jock strap stuffed w/ sock. cleets. Baseball bat or Hocky stick. And a Boller hat.

I'm far more concerned that you wish to dress as a female version of a mysoginist, rapist.
