If you are looking for an officially licensed adult Minnie Mouse costume, you can find one easily online, like at buycostumes.com. One of the keys to an authentic look is the petticoat underskirt. If it is made of stiff starched fibers, it can be pulled out and smoothed to give the skirt some lift.
You’ll need some fishnet stockings, black, patent leather shoes and white socks to complete the image. Most sets come complete with velvety mouse-ears (matching the bodice) and a red bow.
The black and white bodice, with the red and white polka-dot skirt is the classic design for the queen of the mice. She has had many different looks in many different movies, but if you want to be noticed and recognized, you want the classic look.
Some online companies sell all of the accessories that you’ll need, include socks, shoes and black fishnet stockings. Matching girl’s outfits are available. So, for a family night or an adults only party, an adult Minnie Mouse costume is a good choice.
If Dad wants to go as Mickey, you can sometimes find costumes available in men’s sizes. But, remember to order early. It’s not unusual to see these popular items out of stock.
It’s also a good idea to order early because alterations may be necessary. The costumes are usually sold as “one-size-fits-all”, but that doesn’t mean they will fit everyone. Skirts are not usually a problem, but pants often need to be hemmed.
If the waist band is too tight, you’ll need time to return it and make a different selection. There is rarely enough material to “let out” a waistband and these costumes tend to run small.
Some average-sized people order plus sizes. It is always possible to take in a waist-band or hem something that’s too long. But, if it’s too small, there’s not much you can do. Remember to check the company’s return policy before you buy.
You might want a short black wig for your adult Minnie Mouse costume, although because of the club, you will see women with all different hair colors and styles wearing the mouse-ears. If you want an authentic look, a black nose and long black eyelashes are a good idea. You can use a little black shoe polish or special makeup to get the cute black nose.
