Alice in Wonderland Halloween Costumes Ideas To Turn Halloween Upside Down

June 19, 2011 · 0 comments

Alice in Wonderland CostumeAlice in Wonderland will always be one of Lewis Caroll's timeless pieces of literature, but it is Tim Burton's bizarrely fantastic 2010 movie that allowed Alice and her crew to make such a big comeback. This Halloween, you're sure to be a huge hit when you walk in with any of these Alice in Wonderland Halloween costumes. You can make them yourself, if you have a penchant for mixing and matching a few odd pieces you'd find buried in thrift stores, or you can order ready-made costumes from Disney's official store.


Alice


Let's begin with Alice, the curious girl who has an inclination towards the out-of-the-ordinary. When Alice follows the rabbit down the hole, there her fantastic adventures begin. Alice, of course, is the main character in the story and is also the easiest to portray. A adorned with a white apron is a standard Alice getup; you can also obtain a pair of white glovelettes and a white hair ribbon in costume kits or separately.


Mad Hatter


Did you know that the Mad Hatter is the biggest-selling accessory for 2010's Halloween? You had better move fast if you want a Mad Hatter Halloween costume because it seems like many others want to do the same. If you can't get an officially-licensed Mad Hatter hat, then make it yourself. A top hat adorned with a thick, peach ribbon can pass up for the real one. The full Deluxe Adult Costume is available at the Disney store and is running out fast. It includes a brown velvet jacket, multi-colored ribbons, a teacup print bowtie and the crazy hat the Mad Hatter is famous for. And, of course, you have to dye your hair orange as Johnny Depp did.


The Queen of Hearts/


Originally the Queen of Hearts in Lewis Caroll's works, the Red Queen will be, no doubt, one of the head-turners in any Halloween bash. The most prominent feature you have to play up is the Red Queen's big head and you can do that with the officially-licensed Red Queen Hat available in a number of online and brick-and-mortar costume stores. If you want to splurge on a fabulous Queen of Hearts costume, then Disney's Alice in Wonderland Movie Deluxe Red Queen costume is your best bet. It comes complete with the hat, gown, petticoat, and collar in one set.


Cheshire Cat


The Red Queen and Mad Hatter are guaranteed to be there at the biggest Halloween party, but nobody has really played up the Cheshire cat, so why don't you? Disney has, of course, an officially licensed Cheshire cat costume for women and teens, but you can also make your own with a striped pink-and-white body suit and a homemade pink tail. You also have to find some furry pink and purple boots to match your outfit and a big smile on your face to top it all off.



Disney's costume store has released an officially-licensed white rabbit costume made up of a top hat adorned with furry bunny ears. The sizes come in for adults and children. You can also get a pair of fuzzy rabbit ears and wear a blue trench coat.


And, of course, you and a partner can go as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, or as the hookah-smoking Caterpillar, or the Knave of Hearts. One thing's for sure about Alice in Wonderland-it's a rich reservoir of Halloween costume ideas and you're sure never to run out of them!


Best Place To Buy Costumes


Wether you are looking to buy an Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter costume or maybe a Red Queen costume this Halloween then the site I recommend is BuyCostumes.com. It has the best deals and selection online and makes picking a great costume super easy and fun.

Alice In Wonderland Costume – Hints On Finding The Best Costume

June 1, 2011 · 0 comments

Cosplay.com - Alice in Wonderland: Hitachiin Twins and Haruhi - Hikaru ...

Little did know, back in the late eighteen hundreds, that the story he had written for a neighbor's child would become the classic that it is today. His story was both a satire and a piece of literary history that is as relevant now as it was then. Embrace your inner poet and dreamer at your next costumed event. Go as the heroine from Lewis Carroll's timeless tale in your costume.

The recent release of yet another movie retelling of the tale has brought new attention to the story. This time, the talented brought his interpretation to the story. Using the acting talents of luminaries such as Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, the story has been brought to life once more, with an interesting twist.

You can make your own costume for the role of Alice fairly simply. Start with a white knee-length skirt with lace trim. If you can not find such a skirt, try simply making a tube skirt with your sewing machine and stitching eyelet onto the hem.

Now you will need a blue dress, which has a pan style collar, short puffy sleeves and which hems just above the line of lace on your white shift. Over top of your dress, you will need to wear a white apron. The apron has a bib style, and ties at the base of the neck and at the waist.

Some Alice costumes are super simple. Others are more elaborate. To add some details to your costume, you might consider wearing your hair tied back with a black bow. Of course, if your natural hair color is not blond, you may either color it or choose to get a long blond wig for the occasion.

If you are not up to the task of making your own costume, it is easy enough to find one already made. A number of Alice in wonderland halloween costumes are easily found online and in costume stores. Whether you want to go for the classic Alice or the sexy Alice look, you will be certain to find what you are looking for.

    OK i no its far away yet but me and my friends are dressing up as Alice in wonderland characters for Halloween. everybody has there outfit except for me and in ALICE! i dont want the disney version of the dress because everybody is dressing up as the 2010 version (Tim Burton) but i cant find the costume anywhere. i also dont want it to be too pricey and i live in the UK. PLZ HELP
    thnx Abi x

    • ANSWER:
      Hi,

      Try the Halloween costume section here

  2. QUESTION:
    Alice in wonderland costumes?
    I want to maybe do a Alice in wonderland inspired photoshoot for my art project. If you'd give me some ideas for costumes I'd be grateful. I plan. To use two friends and split the characters between them so I'll leave a list below of some potential characters :) please and thankyou x

    Alice obviously, mad hatter, march hare, queen of hearts, the dutchess, I'd really love to do the caterpillar, and possibly the . Maybe the king of hearts?

    • ANSWER:
      My ideas, personally, I'd have Alice in a short blue dress with a white apron with card symbols on it (you know, hearts, clubs, spades, and diamonds) with a top hat and small veil. I'd also give her blond hair in curls with diamonds (as in the card symbol) in her hair. I'd give her HUGE lashes, maybe with sparkles on her lids and light pink lips. I'd also give her white boots.
      I'd put the king and queen of hearts together. I'd have the queen wear a body hugging dress that's black on the top and is cut to where the bottom half looks like a heart, but the back would flow out behind her. I'd give her black lips and nails and dark lids and give her red eyes lids and a small crown. I'd give the king a suit, one with short pants made of black and an elaborate jacket, I'm thinking black with red velvet inside and a shirt that's grey with read hearts and suck on it and a top hat/crown, maybe tilted.
      As for the Hatter, I believe you should have him wear many top hats all on top of each other, slightly topsy-turvy (like, not all stacked on each other the normal way, some sideways or upside down.) in a suit, long pants that are torn and I figure bright colors with more of a "Joker" card likeness to him.
      The Hare obviously has to have ears, I'm also thinking a top hat for him. I imagine a vest of some sort, maybe JUST a short vest with pants? I'm not sure, but definitely NO tail!
      I believe since the caterpillar has always been represented as blue when in real life most are green, maybe you should use this fabric I've seen that's blue but when in seen in a different light, green (it's really shimmery, I love it.) as a long/short dress and a set of 'wings' made from the same material in a different color (red maybe?) that are attached to the dress and looped on the arms for a cool butterfly-wing-look. Also, give the actress a long cigarette (the kind in movies like Tiffany's) and blue lipstick with fluttery lashes and green eyelids.
      The White Rabbit is an important element to the Alice in Wonderland story, I think he should come first in thick rimmed red glasses and white-lidded eyes and a pale pink lip stain. He (or she) should probably wear a short red vest and white anything else with some gold added for flare and a gold pocket watch.
      I don't know who the duchess is, but I figure she'd wear a dress designed after the "Jack" card.

  3. QUESTION:
    alice in wonderland costume ideas?
    Am needing lots of creative ideas on how to create alice in wonderland characters using what I have in my cupboard. Am not wanting to spend lots on hiring or buying.

    • ANSWER:
      If you are the host, you should be Alice or the Mad Hatter. They have costumes in like Hottopic and stuff

  4. QUESTION:
    Alice in Wonderland sweet 16th?
    (I know that there are about a bagillion Alice in Wonderland themed questions....buuut i wasn't able to find any inspiration from them again....soo yes, sorry for spamming in this case!! xD )

    OKAY:
    so my friend is having an Alice in Wonderland costume party for her 16th, its in about a month but i want an insaaaanley good costume thats why im kind of starting now, and it will probably take a while to do..so yes :P

    okay, so basically...has anyone got any good Alice in Wonderland character costume ideas for a sixteen yr old, who wants to look cute and flirtatious obviously, but not slutty!!!!!!!!!! |: |: |: hahaha
    so yeah, any ideas? oh and also if you have idea ideas for makeup, its aaaall welcome!! :D

    Please nothing relating to the latest movie if you can help it...(sorry to all the fans out there...it just didnt do it for me lol :P )
    Any character as long as its not the Queen of Hearts seeing as i look awful in red..soo that wouldnt really work xD

    personally i was hoping something along the lines of American Mcgee's Alice, if any of you have played it? Something a little twisted ;)

    so yeah! :D any ideas guys? :P
    xx

    • ANSWER:
      I would try searching on Amazon, they have a lot of Alice in Wonderland costumes for really good prices. They range from totally conservative to pretty slutty :P
      Good luck, I'm being Alice for Halloween so I can relate to your search! :D

  5. QUESTION:
    any other Alice-In-Wonderland costume suggestions besides alice, the madhatter, the hare, and the cat?
    So there are 4 of us trick or treating this year,and we want to all go as alice-in-wonderland characters. One person is planning to be the madhatter, another the cat, and theres also a queen of hearts. I guess that means I should be alice, but I have black hair, dark skin, and I don't reaallly wanna be her. Just wouldnt fit the part quite right. I wanted to be the queen of hearts because the girl being her looks EXACTLY like someone who could be alice, but she already took it. So are there any suggestions, maybe other characters I could be? I've looked online but it seems like the 3 main costumes r the madhatter, alice, and the cat. Can we go without an alice? r there any costumes to do with alice-in-wonderland (NOT THE HARE) that I could find at a local halloween store? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
