• Blouse: white, red or black are perfect, wide and low neckline with ruffles.  Tunic style or button up blouse are great too.
•  Skirt: Prefer skirt above your knee, if you want to sexier, try mini skirt.  Red or black are the most popular colors for Female Pirate Costume, if you want something different, try pink or Red stripes.  Fabrics material: satin and suede.
• Corset or vest:  They both look great, it is your personal preference.  If you choose to wear a vest, you may want to add a thick belt with a large brass buckle, it will look more authentic.
