Dormouse’s Cozy Outfit

Featuring a cute, cozy design, the Sleepy Dormouse costume makes a great choice. The easiest way to get started is with a grey or brown onesie or matching sweatsuit. The tail should be long and have mouse ears. The character might benefit from some “zzz” accessories or embroidery to emphasize his or her sleepy nature.

You can also choose from brown or grey Just Love Adult Onesie Pajamas to complete your Dormouse costume. Completing the look is as simple as adding ears and a tail.


Red Queen’s Avant-Garde Look

A great source of inspiration for those who love avant-garde fashion is the Red Queen from “Through the Looking Glass.”. Opt for a red gown that has an exaggerated silhouette – think oversized shoulders and wide skirts. Make your look even more dramatic by adding a tall, red wig styled in a extreme beehive or updo. A small crown and chess pieces provide the finishing touch to the look.

Red Queen’s Avant-Garde Look
  • Paint your entire face with a white base to give it a porcelain appearance
  • Adding red eyeshadow to your eye makeup will give your eyes a dramatic, sweeping effect
  • Shape your eyebrows into thin, curved arches

  • Draw small hearts near the outer corners of your eyes with black liquid liner
  • Apply a blood-red lip color to your lips to create an exaggerated cupid’s bow
  • Make your cheekbones more dramatic by adding small rhinestones or glitter accents

When creating an extreme red queen updo, use a foam cone as a base. Make the cone look realistic by wrapping your hair or wearing a wig around it and securing it with bobby pins. As a result, your character will appear high and dramatic.

Get a look at Miccostumes’ Women’s Red Queen Costume Dress to get a sense of what the gown looks like. In terms of the base of this avant-garde outfit, it’s the dramatic collar and rich red color.


White Queen’s Ethereal Ensemble

While the Red Queen’s outfit was all about drama, the White Queen’s outfit was all about ethereal elegance. Make your dress stand out with a flowing white gown adorned with silver accents. Make the wig look long and loose by styling it in loose waves. Make your look complete with a silver necklace and a delicate crown. Apply makeup that creates a pale, radiant complexion with a hint of shimmer.

White Queen’s Ethereal Ensemble
  • An elegant silver tiara adorned with crystals
  • White cape or cloak with long, sheer sleeves
  • Wand shaped like a star
  • White gloves with iridescent patterns
  • An earring with a drop of crystal or pearl
  • Use silver body glitter to create an ethereal look

If you want to achieve the White Queen’s ethereal glow, mix a few drops of white shimmer eyeshadow with your liquid foundation before applying. You will notice that your skin will have a subtle, otherworldly luminescence.

It’s hard to beat the California Costumes Women’s White Queen Costume when it comes to a ready-made White Queen costume that features a beautiful gown with intricate silver detailing.


Jabberwocky-Inspired Edge

A darker, edgier Wonderland look can be created by taking inspiration from the fearsome Jabberwocky. Make sure the base of your outfit is black – leather pants and a fitted top are great options. By using fabric paint or appliqués, you can add scaly details. By using wire and black fabric, you can create dragon-like wings. With dramatic makeup and spiked accessories, you can complete the look

Jabberwocky-Inspired Edge

DIY Jabberwocky Scale Tutorial:

  • Create scale shapes from craft foam by cutting them into small, overlapping rectangles
  • Make the scales look more realistic by painting them in black, grey, and dark purple shades
  • Adhere the scales to the base outfit using fabric glue once they have dried
  • Begin at the bottom and work your way up, crossing over the scales as you go
  • Make the highlights realistic by using metallic silver paint

Create impressive Jabberwocky claws by using press-on nails as a base. Using a rough sponge and dark gray paint, paint them black and add texture. Make it easy to wear them by attaching them to fingerless gloves.

For those looking to invest in a high-quality dragon costume, California Costumes Men’s Dragon Costume is a great choice because of its textured bodysuit and impressive headpiece.


Card Soldier’s Geometric Chic

There is no better place to wear a graphic, eye-catching costume than with the Card Soldiers. Make a tunic shaped like a playing card that is large and rectangular. The base colour of your card should either be red or black, and you should add the appropriate suit symbol (hearts, diamonds, clubs, or spades) on top. It looks great paired with black leggings and boots. The look can be completed with a spear prop.

Card Soldier’s Geometric Chic
  • Assemble the base using a large piece of sturdy cardboard
  • Make holes for your arms and head
  • Add fabric in a color of your choice (black or red) to the cardboard.
  • Add a large suit symbol in contrasting fabric in the center of the dress
  • Make the border of the card out of white fabric
  • Apply fabric paint to the numbers or details on the face cards

If you would like to make your Card Soldier costume stand out, you might want to add LED lights around the edges. The result will be a striking visual effect, especially during low-light hours.

You can also purchase a complete outfit including tunic, hat, and toy spear from Spooktacular Creations.


March Hare’s Quirky Style

Using a combination of human and animal fashions, the March Hare wears a very unique outfit. Using brown clothing as a base is a good idea. Make the rabbit’s ears larger and add a fluffy tail. Adding tea-themed accessories, like teacup buttons or a pocket watch, can make the outfit more interesting. If you want to capture the wild energy of your hair, style it in a wild, unkempt manner.

March Hare’s Quirky Style
  • A pocket watch that is oversized
  • Socks with mismatched colors
  • Brooch with a tea cup and saucer
  • Patterned bow tie with tea bags
  • An orange-shaped boutonniere
  • Faux fur-cuffed fingerless gloves

If you want your hair or wig to mimic the March Hare’s signature dishevelled look, backcomb it and spray it with texturizing spray. It’s better to look chaotic than clean – don’t be afraid to make it look messy!

You’ll want to consider GRACEART Steampunk Top Hat with Rabbit Ears when you’re making your March Hare costume. A combination of the Mad Hatter’s hat and the March Hare’s ears perfectly conveys the eccentricity of the character in this unique accessory.


Flamingo and Hedgehog Croquet Set

If you want a unique costume for a couple or group, consider dressing up as Flamingo and Hedgehog croquet sets from the Queen’s game. Wear pink bodysuits or dresses with large wings and a beaked headpiece as the Flamingo. In addition to its brown outfit, Hedgehogs can wear soft spikes made from foam or fabric. A croquet theme would be complete with green arches.

Flamingo and Hedgehog Croquet Set
  • Prepare a large paper template with wing shapes
  • Using pink fabric, cut out two wing shapes
  • Cover the wings with fabric pieces shaped like feathers
  • Glue or pin the wings onto a pink shirt
  • Structural wire can be added to the top edges of the wings

Include an interactive element by creating a wearable croquet hoop. A belt can be made by attaching flexible tubing to an arch. It can be painted green and fake grass can be added to give it a realistic look. With this, your event can be transformed into a croquet tournament!

Whether you want a flamingo costume for adults or for children, Smiffy’s Adult Unisex Flamingo Costume is a great place to start. It can easily be customized for croquet with additional elements.


Gender-Swapped Alice

Put your own spin on the classic Alice look by creating a male or non-binary version. The first thing you should do is put on a pair of blue trousers and a white button-up shirt. Make the outfit complete by adding a blue waistcoat and a black bow tie. You can replace a headband with a blue newsboy cap instead. Make sure you carry a pocket watch as an accessory. Creative interpretations are possible while still retaining a distinctive Alice look.

Gender-Swapped Alice
  • A pair of blue tailored trousers or chinos
  • An elegant white dress shirt
  • White waistcoat or vest
  • Ties with black bows or skinny ties
  • An optional pair of blue suspenders
  • A pair of brown Oxford shoes
  • The blue newsboy cap or fedora

If you want to add a whimsical touch to your gender-swapped Alice costume, you can attach Wonderland-themed patches or embroideries to your waistcoat. If you want, you can add teacups, playing cards, or even the Cheshire Cat’s smile.

Here’s one of our favorite waistcoats that would be ideal for this look: the PJ PAUL JONES Men’s Tweed Suit Vest in blue. In addition to its classic design and color, it makes for a great center piece for the outfit you create when you swap the genders of Alice.
