Ways to create a Minnie Mouse dress costume

Halloween is the time of the year when children are given the chance to dress up according to their favorite cartoon characters and superheroes. In fact, one of the most popular Halloween costumes enjoyed by a lot of parents and children alike are Disney character costumes, and one of these is a Minnie Mouse dress costume. Creating a Minnie Mouse dress costume is very easy, even for those people who are deprived of the talent in holding a needle and thread. The Minnie Mouse dress costume is basically all about three components: an adorable Minnie Mouse dress, make-up and some glittery and girly accessories.

In making your own Minnie Mouse dress costume, you will need a red dress or a red shirt and skirt, a pair of scissors, 3 pieces of white felt fabric which measures 8.5 x 11 inches, mouse ears, hot glue gun, red lipstick, mascara, black Halloween make-up, red bow, white fluffy mittens, yellow crocs, heels or yellow spray paint, and one pair of old sneakers.

The first step is by modifying Minnie’s dress or clothing. Minnie Mouse is known for wearing a red polka dot dress. However, finding a dress that looks perfectly like the original Minnie Mouse dress is hard; hence, trick-or-treaters may opt to find instead a red shirt and a red skirt. Make sure that the pair of clothing that you chose has a secure and proper fit. For an additional realistic touch, create white polka dots by cutting out some circular-shaped fabrics from the fabric felt and glue them on the outfit by using a hot glue gun.

To replicate Minnie’s bright colored shoes, you can try painting a pair of crocs or old sneakers with yellow spray paint. Although Minnie is known to wear high heeled shoes, many trick-or-treaters might want to reconsider this as it can make them too uncomfortable, especially since Halloween involves a lot of walking. But if you still prefer wearing yellow shoes with heels, then you can try finding a good pair on the Internet. There are numerous retailers which actually sell such rare colored shoes.

For you to create the perfect Minnie Mouse make-up look, use black mascara and paint your face with it. Use a black face paint to darken all the facial area that needs to be darkened. Add some whiskers on your cheeks. To add more fun to the Minnie Mouse dress costume, try putting on bright red lipstick.

You can also create a Minnie Mouse ears hat to match your Minnie Mouse dress costume or you can find a pair of mouse ears in a local specialty or costume shop or you can also try looking in the Internet. A huge red bow filled with white little polka dots should fit in between the ears.

Finally, buy a pair of huge and fluffy white mittens to finish off your own Minnie Mouse dress costume. You can also add some accessories to further glamorize the costume and make it more affective and realistic.
