Alice In Wonderland Costume Ideas

About "Alice In Wonderland"

In 1865, Lewis Carroll wrote "Alice In Wonderland," a fanciful tale of a young girl who falls "through the looking glass" and winds up in a bizarre world on the other side populated by Mad Hatters, talking Cheshire Cats, hookah-smoking caterpillars, and other interesting creatures.

In 1951, Walt Disney released an animated film based on Lewis Carroll's work, and gave popular culture its most recognizable vision of Alice with blond hair and a blue and white pinafore dress. The film depicted Wonderland in vivid color bringing all of Carroll's whimsy to life for a broader scale audience. In 2010, director Tim Burton plans to release his own full-length, live-action version of "Alice In Wonderland" starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen of Hearts.

Dressing as "Alice In Wonderland"

Several costumes depicting Alice are available to fit both children and adults. Styled with Alice's blue dress with pretty white pinafore, there are age-appropriate costumes for children and several short, sexy, flouncy versions of Alice's attire suitable for costumes for adults.

As populated as Wonderland is with so many crazy characters, there are just as many costumes that allow you to dress as twin dunderheads Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (makes a great couples costume!); different styles of Queen of Hearts costumes, the wildly grinning purple Cheshire Cat, and several large, oversized hats perfect for dressing as the Mad Hatter!
