Santa gets all the attention at Christmas, but behind every good man there is also a good woman, and Mrs. Claus is that good woman behind Santa. So it stands to reason that dressing up as Miss Claus is a way to highlight her important contributions.
If you want to dress like Mrs. Claus for Christmas, there are a few essentials. Whether you make or buy the costume, you must adhere to a few basic rules. First, the costume must be red. Ideally, it should also be velvet, and there should be some white trim.
Mrs. Claus is a girly lady, so your Mrs. Claus costume is likely to take the form of a dress, perhaps with a twirling skirt and black belt, like the one worn by Santa Claus.
Traditionally, the dress will have a white fur trim, on the hem of the skirt, on the sleeves, and even on the neck. Add a red Santa hat for a touch of traditional authenticity.
When Mrs. Claus helps Santa deliver presents, she wears white gloves, so add them if you want to be truly royal.
If you wear a costume, here are some ideas:
* Pick up a simple, inexpensive red dress at a thrift or thrift store and be prepared to add frills and other elements to make it look like Mrs. Claus dress.
* If you have basic sewing skills, you can easily make a dress out of red velvet (or velor) fabric. To keep things simple, make a skirt and top separately, add some white fur (even sew on a white boa to keep things simple), and add a black belt to tie it all together.
* You can buy a Santa hat, white gloves, and other accessories at inexpensive stores like dollar stores.
If you want to buy a costume, consider these tips:
* Search online for a variety of ideas. You might see basic dresses, sexy Mrs. Santa costumes, and even costumes that look like Santa but are made for women.
* You really can find a costume for every need and whim. If you’re feeling sexy, you can find a Mrs. Claus costume which is basically red lingerie with a Santa hat adornment. If you want to be very traditional, you can find a long, modest dress that covers everything and leaves everything to the imagination.
* Costumes can be purchased in different price ranges. No matter how high or low your rank is, you are bound to find something that works.
Don’t forget that you can also rent costumes and sometimes they are prettier and more authentic than anything you can put together or sew yourself.
