  • Have you thought about maybe wearing leggings underneath it instead of trousers? Will look better if you're going out and you can pick up a plain colour pair for £3 in Primark or get patterned ones for slightly more :)

    Also I'm not sure if they still do them but last year I spotted some 'blood bags' in Matalan. They would go great with a Nurses outfit and were only 50p! They're edible too!

    I would wear the nurses outfit with fake blood, in the £1 shops I have seen candy filled blood bags, they look really gross, you could wear one of those round your neck too
