Make your own Little Bo Peep costume

So you want to dress up as Little Bo Peep for Halloween? Here are some ideas for a Little Bo Peep Halloween costume for a girl or an adult.

For an adult, remember that you are dressing like a character from a nursery rhyme. Little Miss Peep, was a girl, so any makeup should be kept to a minimum. Look at your local thrift or thrift stores for an inexpensive costume. A pastel-colored, short-sleeved, knee-length dress would be ideal. Remember that when you add a hoop under the skirt, it will take inches off the length. For a realistic costume, try to find a dress with a wide skirt so that you can wear a petticoat or hoop skirt underneath. The sleeves should also be puffed up. A nice light blue or pink material would be really pretty. White stockings or bare legs would work for your legs.

Accessories are a must for this costume. Some white elbow-length gloves will add to the look. Mary Jane type shoes will also keep the look young. Of course, you must have some bows in your hair. If your hair is long enough, a hairstyle with lots of curls that you can tie the buns into would be perfect.

So a very important support would be the Miss Peep staff. You may be able to purchase one of these at a costume store. If that’s not ideal, you can try to find a nice long wooden stick that needs to be at head level. If you are lucky enough to find one with a curve, it would be even better. Another idea is to make your own from empty paper towel tubes or from wrapping paper tubes if available. Stack them up and use clear packing tape to hold them together.

Now of course some people might still wonder what your costume is, so a great accessory would be a cute fluffy stuffed sheep for you to wear. Again, this may be available from a thrift store and will keep the price of your costume low.

There is always the easiest way and you can buy a costume at a costume store. The fun of a Halloween costume is being original.
