Wonderland Costume Round Up: Unicorn

I'm going to be honest, I'm not finished with "Through the Looking Glass" yet, but I do know that there is a unicorn character. I'm no sure exactly the roll it plays, but in general, a unicorn is a great whimsical fantasy costume idea, so that's my next round up character. I think all of us children of the 80's who remember Lisa Frank stickers, She Ra Dolls, My Little Pony, and The Last Unicorn have a special place in our hearts for these mythical beasts. Here's some inspiration from Google images - whether you're creating a Unicorn from Wonderland or anywhere else.

Here's a simple yet fun idea - the horn is just attached to a headband, and slightly furry accessories imply an animal. The silver sequin tube top really has nothing to do with it, but who can resist silver sequins?

Here's a regular half mask, a huge cone shaped horn, and a maribou boa used as a mane. Solid white pants & shirt complete the look - again, super easy.

This is a makeup kit available in many costume shops - its a detailed horn that attaches to your forehead with spirit gum. The effect is really impressive.

I'm not in love with this one, but it's another approach - white 80's style mullet wig with a horn attached.

Commercially available headband with horn and ears - I think the ears look a big big and rabbit-like, but it would be easy to recreate.

The body paint on this one is all messed up, but it's a creative take on the horn - that's just her hair wrapped into a cone!

One of my favorite ways to create costumes is to take a base garment that you know fits and just embellish it - here a white hooded jacket is trimmed with white fur and a horn is added - POOF! You're a unicorn!

Same technique with a white bodysuit -

Unicorn ballerina? Not sure, but I like her fuzzy boots:


So there you go, an idea that seems really compliated in theory is actually accomplished very simply!
