About Hansel Gretel
Hansel and Gretel were two, clever children in the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of the same name. Left in the Black Forest of Germany by their parents, the brother and sister attempt to find their way home. Instead, they happen upon a cottage made of candy, which happens to be home to an evil witch who lured children to her home to eat them. Gretel thwarts the evil witch's plan to fatten up Hansel to eat by having him stick out a chicken bone for her to feel, fooling her that he's still very skinny before shoving the old hag into her own oven, freeing herself and her brother.
Dressing up as Hansel Gretel
A great couples costume, or even as friends (dressing in drag with a guy as Gretel always gets big laughs) attending a Halloween party, Hansel and Gretel are always a big hit!
Due to the German origins of this fairy tale, a classic costuming interpretation of Hansel includes a pair of lederhosen. In sizes to fit adults and children, you can accessorize your look with a pair of high white knee socks to offset the included white shirt worn beneath the lederhosen and an optional Swiss alps hat with a feather.
Long, braids and a Swiss Miss-style or Oktoberfest costume with white knee socks and high heeled Mary Jane shoes is a great look for a Gretel costume. With a flouncy skirt and fitted bodice, a traditional German ladies costume will certainly fit the bill. Carry an oversized lollipop as a fun nod to the witch's candy and gingerbread house!
