Wilma Flintstone Costume

Just as Fred Flintstone is arguably one of the most-loved and quickly recognisable stone-age cartoon patriarch figures, Wilma Flintstone is the mild-mannered and kind-hearted matriarch figure of the Flintstone household. For those couples who would like to synchronise their costumes, certainly a Wilma Flintstone costume would be the perfect choice for the ladies as their other significant half dresses up as Fred. A Wilma Flintstone costume would not be complete nor authentic without the must- have distinctive features such as the white dress with zebra tattered trim on the hem and the dress is of a one shoulder strap kind.

Wilma's white dress should never be loose-fitting, instead it has to be designed to show off your figure, in other words, to highlight all your curves! Other features include the bright fiery orange hair piece, white oversized stone pearl necklace and matching white stone earrings.

Remember, this is the stone age, think stone in all of your creations! To put the finishing touches, do not forget a bright red lipstick and a dainty pair of black stilettos. A Wilma Flintstone costume is perfect for any Halloween or fancy dress party. Wilma is the most fashionable pre-historic woman we know, so feel free to add your own little additions to enhance her typical features, again, the emphasis is, think stone-age.

Whatever the creation, as long as it looks in line with that time period, you will have a winning number on you! Nowadays you can get a wide range of Wilma Flintstone costume pieces from specialist costume stores, both from a local store or from an online costume website. You can get a plain pure white Wilma dress or for a slightly more expensive price the dress will be more embellished with special trims and designs. Wilma's orange hair (she is a redhead after all) with huge curls normally come either in a foam wig head piece or a cardboard cut-out to resemble the cartoon character's fiery curls.

The plush stone-looking necklace can either be made of light plastic or styrofoam to be worn snugly around the neck. If you prefer to go barefoot, you can get a pair of giant cave-woman feet with perfect pedicure! If you want to buy Wilma Flintstone costumes readily off the shelf, they come in standard women sizes, some stores will cater for plus sizes but it may cost you a little bit more. So if you are planning a Halloween or fancy dress party and would like to dress up as Wilma, make sure you allow enough of time to get the costume altered so that it fits you like a glove.

If you fancy a little mix and match, the easiest component to replicate yourself will be Wilma's white dress. Any body-hugging white dress with straps will do the trick. All you have to do is to cut off the sleeves to create a sleeveless white dress, trim off one of the straps and sew the dress together to resemble the one Wilma's wears. For the more distinctive features such as the necklace and earrings you may want to get them from the shops. To save a bit of money, you can style your hair yourself with at least four to five giant curls if you have long red hair.
