Dressing up as Alice in Wonderland is one of the favorite costume ideas on fancy dress parties and special events, such as Halloween and other special events. Children and young girls like depicting Alice from the classic animated Disney film, while teenagers and young adult women are more likely to copy Alice’s fashion in the Tim Burton’s 2010 film. Some like to veer away from the ordinary and dress up as one of the memorable characters in the book, such as the Mad Hatter or the Queen of Hearts.
Alice’s dress, props and accessories are easy to replicate, but the look also offers plenty of opportunities for personalization. Here are some ways to wear an Alice in Wonderland fancy dress without losing your personal charm and individuality.
Decide which character you like to impersonate
The most popular character is Alice, but you may also opt to dress up as a rabbit or even a playing card. If you love the classic story and want to be unique, try dressing up as the original character illustrated in the book. The illustrations are in black and white, allowing you to just copy the pattern of the dress and use different colors of fabrics for the apron, ribbon and the whole dress.
Dress as “You” in Wonderland
Most costume parties love uniqueness and would not mind even if you veer away from the details of the original characters. Be the female version of the Mad Hatter and changed that eerie black hat into a hot pink one. Don your child in a plush and comfy Tweedle Dee and Dum, or have him melt hearts by dressing him up as a cute little Mad Hatter. You may also dress up as an adult Alice from the latest movie, while your baby girl is dressed up sweetly as little classic Alice in Wonderland.
Dress according to season
Throwing a white-and-blue petticoat over Alice’s usual skirt can help you stay warm yet still be in character. If it’s a winter costume party, try donning a snowy white rabbit as a costume or wrap a thick scarf or muffler around your Queen of Heart’s collar. Go for a shorter blue or yellow skirt in summer, or wear a breezy adult playing card costume.
