Inspirations for Seussical Costumes: Part II

More fun ideas for simple creative costumes!! Yes, it takes 1-2 night of googling ideas to find the right combinations of colors and costumes. But worth the search!

Grinchs hair and costume inspiration was simple and effective, the Wickershams were played by girls, and I loved the boyish charm of these costumes!

Sour Kangaroos actor came to me and said "my character needs to be sassy, and fun, and purple, and totally own it!" She put me on a mission to please her vision!!

I love the elegance of this Sour Kangaroo, her pouch and interesting ears.

I loved the EARS on this purple piece:


The WIckershams, ours are played by girls. But the Ears on these backwards caps really inspire. As do the clothes colors.

Up close Wickersham Ears Alternative:

 Of course the Grinch. And while he is not the Star of the Seussical, every audience member will recognize this character. I loved this hair. And the T-Shirt inspired by the actual movie.

I couldn't have tackled this project without the help of some pretty amazing parents involved in the school and show. I created volunteer kits. YES these kits are time consuming to assemble. And you have this classic event planning moment: "I'll just do it myself." Of course you CAN do it... but SHOULD YOU do it all?

NO, don't do it all. You will be exhausted, and frustrated! Pinspiration is tremendous! But realize each project takes time, from minutes to hours. Include the shopping time, cutting, assembling, and all the steps inbetween. So NO - Dont do it all yourself. My costume kits took hours, but they also saved me DAYS!

Inspirations for Seussical Costumes: Part I

These are some inspirational and PINspirational photos for the final costumes. Hortons Elephant ears, the actual Dr. Seuss Gertrude (which reminded me that she blooms 1-feather tail strand and not 10. Deviantart had nice ideas too.

Clearly, Mayzie - the redish bird - is sassy and experienced. Whereas Gertrude is simple and young.

Gertrude Ideas - short skirts, feathers and blue.

As Dr. Seuss intended her to look:
notice the single tail strand that blooms.
