Dressing in a Little Red Riding Hood costume for Halloween is a delightful for a female of any age. It is reminiscent of our childhood days when we read fairytales in school and at home. It is also a classic tale that's great to dress up after as it is recognizable, but still one-of-a-kind at the same time. Friends or family can get in on the fun and dress up as other characters from the tale, such as wolf dressed up as Granny, or the huntsman with an ax, both of which go well with the Halloween theme. However, Little Red Riding Hood is the star of the show and her costume should match her fame and beauty.
Let’s begin with the main piece of costume clothing that is needed to pull off the Red Riding Hood look, and that is a red cape! However, it isn’t just any old red cape, it also must contain a hood. The cape should be long and wide enough to serve as a cloak. It will need to tie at the nape of the neck in a secure fashion that does not come loose as you move about. Make sure the hood fits comfortably on the head so that it does not fall off or cover the eyes. If the Red Riding Hood costume is intended for a young girl, you may want to securely fasten the hood to her hair with red barrettes. select a heavier fabric is this is used for outdoor trick-or-treating, or a lighter fabric if it is intended for an indoor Halloween party.
The Lil Red Riding Hood costume dress should be blue and knee-length, much similar to Dorothy’s from The Wizard of Oz. However, any dress can really work as it will mostly be covered by the red cloak anyhow. Young girls going trick-or-treating should wear tights underneath as to not get cold. For adult females who want to be a Little more mature, choose a sexy dress to wear under the cloak, preferably black as it will compliment the cloak well and not clash with the colors.
A Tiny Red Riding Hood Halloween costume wouldn't be complete without a basket full of goodies to take over to Grandmother’s house. Be sure to line the basket with a red and white checkered cloth. This would make the best trick-or-treating basket for a young girl to carry around and collect her candy in, while adults can make the basket double as her purse.
