There are many annual holidays to look forward to on the calendar but for many people, none more so than Halloween. Halloween is a celebrated holiday worldwide and involves scary movies, decorations, candy and lots of food and drinks. However, what makes the October holiday memorable are the costume parties where people get to play dress-up with whatever costume they like. If you’re a big fan of the costume parties on Halloween night why don’t you consider a Little Bo Peep costume this year?
Bo Peep is a popular character from the Toy Story franchise. Toy Story was the first movie produced by Pixar and released in 1995 featuring voices from popular voice actors such as Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Wallace Shaw. The film was a record-breaker in its genre and spawned three successful sequels. Despite Bo Peep being a side character, the popularity of the franchise has made her famous and her costumes have become popular at dress-up parties and can also be worn on Halloween. She plays a role in 3 Toy Story movies and the different variations of her costumes can be found and purchased at online stores.
Bo Peep is a supporting character in the first 2 movies and becomes the second main character in the fourth film. Her character is voiced by Annie Potts and is inspired by the nursery rhyme “Little Bo Peep”. Her main role in the movies is the love interest of the protagonist Sheriff Woody and her character is described as caring, kindhearted and romantic. As for her costume, if you’re choosing to go to Halloween as Bo Peep, you’ll have a range of her costumes to choose from as she had different costumes during her many screen appearances between the 3 Toy Story movies.
In Bo Peep’s initial appearance in the franchise during the 1995 movie, she wore a polka-dotted dress with blonde hair, black shoes and her cane in her hand. This is arguably her most recognized appearance and it can easily be found at online stores. Other versions of Bo Peep outfits can also be found with the one constant in all her costumes being the staff because she’s a shepherd. So if you want to play an accurate representation of Bo Peep, be prepared to carry a stick around with you! Bo Peep also has curly blonde hair so a trip to the salon is likely or you could buy a wig that fits perfectly.
Bo Peep Costumes come in different sizes and types for both kids and adults. If your kid is a fan of the Toy Story franchise, then chances are that she loves Bo Peep. Bo Peep’s classic costume from the 1995 movie is best for kids as they get to wear a gown that keeps them looking pretty and comfortable all night. Her calf-length pants and the corset-style top is more suitable for adults and can easily be customized into a sexy costume.
Sometimes, you might want to handle your Halloween costume yourself instead of buying yet another costume just for one holiday. Rest assured, you can craft your own Bo Peep costumes from the comforts of your living room. Making a Bo Peep costumes aren’t too difficult to make and with the right supplies, it could take you mere hours to complete. Here’s a tutorial on how you can make it:
The style and design of Bo Peep’s original costume might prove too difficult to make on your own but her more recent costumes are perfect for a DIY project and also leave room for creative changes. To begin, you’ll need a blue jumpsuit, blue and pink ribbons, blue fabric, fabric flower, scissors, and some needle and thread. You can buy a jumpsuit for cheap at a thrift shop or watch a short tutorial on how to make one. If you want a perfect costume, however, buying certain key items is the smart thing to do and the jumpsuit is certainly one of those.
Bo Peep has a pink ribbon around her waist, so after putting on the jumpsuit, tie a pink ribbon around your waist and tie it at your back firmly so it stays in place all night. For Bo Peep’s cape, measure your shoulder length or that of whoever owns the costume, as well as the length from the nape to the waist. Once you have your dimensions, cut out some blue fabric and you should have a perfect cape size, tie it around your neck or pin it to the back of the jumpsuit.
Now, your costume is almost complete. The next step is the accessories, makeup and hairdo. Easy work right? Her accessories include a cane and lavender colored wrist cuffs. For the cuff, you could use blue fabric or ribbon and tie it around your wrists. The cane can be purchased at online stores or can be made from plastic and paint. You could also use a candy cane if you have one lying around. Bo Peep was also a shepherd, so you can purchase some rubber sheep from online stores to complement your costume although it’s optional.
For the makeup, Bo Peep is made up of porcelain, so for a more glossy porcelain appearance, add some makeup highlighter and some ivory concealer. The final part of the Bo Peep costume is her hair. She has blonde hair, so if you don’t have natural hair to match hers the first option is to buy a wig. You could also dye your hair but if you already have blonde hair, use some hairspray to make it curly and then tie it at the back of your head. Tie a big pink ribbon at the side of your hair and with that, your Bo Peep costume is 100% complete. Slap on some black shoes, go out and have a fun Halloween.
