Costumes for Kids

Page 1 (A - F)

We all know that kids love to dress up - whether on a rainy afternoon, with a gang of friends, or at birthday parties and Halloween. It is always a good idea to provide a well-stocked fancy dress suitcase or basket so that they can come up with their own creations, but sometimes a proper costume is called for and inspiration might be required. You will find lots of inspiration here! Some of the costumes below are described in detail; others are here to serve just as suggestions and get you thinking about the possibilities...

Alice in Wonderland
Wear a simple dress, preferably light blue, with a white pinafore or apron.* Scoop long hair back with a blue ribbon or hair band. You could accessorize by pinning or stitching a red felt heart on the apron, and carrying a white rabbit toy or cut-out like this:

Bride
Dress your little bridge up in a pretty white dress or nightie. Gather up a length of tulle or net with long stitches and attach to a comb or hairband. Alternatively, you might be able to find an old lace curtain which can be attached with hairpins. Add a bunch of flowers and a big smile!

Burglar Costume
This burglar costume is a fun fancy dress costume for kids at Halloween or all year round - and it is very easy to put together.

Business Man or Woman
Dress your child in a white shirt and tie and a smart pair of dark trousers or skirt. Add a few accessories - perhaps some glasses, an empty coffee container, a print-out of some spreadsheets and a laptop case over the shoulder?

Clown
A bright-colored wig, clown makeup and primary colored clothes turn any child into a clown. If you want to go more to town, tie a huge red bow-tie around the neck and add braces or a belt made with rope to hold up a pair of baggie trousers, then make your child's feet look bigger by taping an extension made of construction paper to the top of their normal pair.

Dalmatian
A white Tshirt and white tights or leggings or track-suit bottoms form the basis of
the costume. Add a tail out of the leg of an old pair of tights stuffed loosely with
newspaper. Safety pin or sew on some black felt spots. Finally, make some dalmatian ears out of felt and attach to a hair band, then use face paints, makeup or a home-made mask to create a cute dalmation face.

You can make the simplest fairy costume if you have a pair of wings and something pretty and pink for your little girl to wear. Of course you can add a pretty tulle skirt or party dress, a tiara and a magic wand to make the outfit complete! Alternatively, go for the more modern fairy look by dressing your child up in a leotard and tights and adding an assortment of pretty scarves to drape and flutter as she dances around.
