Wizard of Oz Costume
Dorothy, Cowardly Lion and Tin Man Wizard of Oz movie costumes are a favorite group costume idea.
Halloween is near. Everyone is getting ready for this amazing and exciting night, from babies to adults. Perhaps you should give some thought to the “old is new again” popular expression. Everyone is familiar with the different characters that played in this classic 1939 movie.
We all remember the adorable Judy Garland, who played the 12-year-old farm girl Dorothy, with her pigtails tied low and her beautiful ruby red shoes. This Halloween costume is always a winner, with her basket that contains her little dog, Toto. Of course, a real dog will be nice, but a little stuffed animal dog will be more practical.
Who are the Wizard of Oz characters?
From the sweet, to the funny, to the downright evil, you’ll probably find a choice that you’ll want to portray.
Here’s a list of the story’s leading characters:
Dorothy, the main character, is a sweet and a little naive small town girl, whose caring and ingenuous personality charm all who meet her.
Scarecrow, who joined Dorothy on her journey to meet the Wizard, did so in order to earn a brain from the Wizard, who was very powerful. The scarecrow costume can be a lot of fun, with bits of hay sticking out of its ends. Playing the character role by making movements as if you are simply stuffed with hay can make your costume and more successful.
The tin man was another character in the movie, who went along to meet the Wizard. He needed a heart. This costume is great for everyone from tots to adults. In the movie, the tin man received a heart, which was actually a clock. You can add such an accessory to your costume to make it a bit more successful.
The Cowardly Lion, also one of Dorothy’s companions, is another humorous character…just right to be portrayed by the natural clown in your group. Together, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow’s antics could warm up any cold & frostbitten Halloween night!
The good witch Glinda is a radiant, kind and beautiful character perfect for one of the lovely girls or ladies in your group. Her flowing gown, accented by a wand and crown, is the epitome of many a girl’s dream costumes.
The Wicked Witch, however, gives your group’s prankster a great “evil character” to play around with. The costume itself may give youngsters a scare, but as many a movie actress has said, “playing the evil role is so deliciously fun!”
