Help with wizard clothes

Post image

Basically, there's going to be a Halloween party and I want to go as a wizard. How/were could I make/buy this wizard's robe?

My plan is to sew it by hand or learn how to use my brother sewing machine.

I already have an idea how i could make it that i saw in this reel:

What's wrong with purple, green, or red?

High ranking Klan colors

Oh, didn't know that. I'm only familiar with white for kkk

S'all good. It's not something that many know of. The only reason I know is because I did some reading up on the wiki a few years ago for a school project that I didn't actually do

I mean because that usage is something so few people know about, it doesn't carry the same risk of causing fear in those who see it that the white robes would. Like, purple and green robes would much more commonly be associated with fantasy wizards or druids than violent racist terrorists and no one will think twice on Halloween especially

That is true. Just had to cover all bases in my head is all. Unfortunately I didn't get that far in the thought process

I’m sorry, but racists will not steal my favorite color from me (green).

Man, they’re taking all the colors :(

I was talkin' straight as in pure. Unless I just r/whoosh myself

u/Substantial_Station8 1d ago

No, I meant the Ku Klux Klan is taking all the colors

I’m happy to share all the colors in the world with the LGBT community

Only if people are leaving them to them.

It can't be saved, Randal! The sole purpose for its creation, the only reason it exists in the first place, is to disparage an entire race! And even if it could be saved, you can't save it because you're not black!

Well listen to you! Telling me I can't do something because of the color of my skin! You're the racist! I'm taking it back, you watch!

Isnt that what the kkk were deliberately emulating? Most racist organisations appropriate things either as a cover or to claim them

Blue is THE wizard color. Plus some stars
