Alice from Alice in Wonderland is going to make a comeback in the next year. While it has been popular in recent years, with Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland film set for release in 2010 a new twist will be added. Alice in Wonderland has been done before, but that is not stopping the imaginative Burton. Brand Costumes have yet to be released, as well, so if you want to be Alice you’ll have to go with other costumes of the past or make your own. Alice will be dressed in full Victorian clothing for the film, changing the Disney Alice we are used to seeing.
Step 1: Alice is meant to be a little girl, so the costume you create should mirror closely to what the Victorian era children would have worn. It is possible to buy the pieces you need for the costume, but you can also buy the material and make it yourself. JoAnn Fabrics or Michaels should have the fabric and patterns you would need.
Step 2: For the main body of the costume you will need a white long sleeve blouse with a high collar. This blouse should not be revealing and have buttons all the way up the neck.
Step 3: Over the blouse you should have a black corset or bustier. It will need to have buttons on the front like a vest would, but sit below the upper chest. This helps accentuate your figure.
Step 4: The skirt just needs to be straight and full length. The design is up to you. You can have patterned material, blue, white, even a lattice style pattern if you wish.
Step 5: Above it was mentioned you would need a traveling coat or riding coat. This type of coat has eye hooks from the collar to the waist. It would need to have long sleeves, with a high collar. From the waist down the coat is left open to making walking easier.
Step 6: The boots you look for to add to the costume should be fitting with the era. They should be high on the ankles, with buttons down the front, and pointed toes. The boots should be black.
Step 7: Lastly all you need is a blonde wig if you are not already blonde.
You are now Alice from Tim Burton’s interpretation of the book Alice in Wonderland.
