Betty Boop Costumes

Betty Boop Costumes are among the top choices of girls of all age groups. These costumes are a great purchase not just for Halloween, but even fancy dress and costume parties. Apart from these occasions, the Betty Boop Costumes are so enchanting and beautiful that they may also be worn for fun. These costumes are by no means new, they have been around for decades.

For those of you who didn’t know, the costume is based on the animated character, Betty Boop who was an instant hit with the crowds, thanks to her stunning sex appeal way back in the 1930’s. After a hiatus, during which her popularity plummeted, she’s been back in business again, since the 1980’s, all colorful and even sexier. So if you want to showcase your flamboyant, extravagant character, that red polka dotted costume is a great idea. The costume is synonymous with sexiness and wide-eyed innocence in one package- a unique blend almost no other costume can give you.

The interesting thing about Betty Boop Costumes is that there is a lot of flexibility so that gives you scope for experimentation and creativity. There isn’t one standard design but instead there are a few variants- you can get a dress that runs all the way down your legs (with one long slit in the thigh) and sweeps the floor or one that ends above your knees, depending on your taste.

The Betty Boop costume is quite simple and yet elegant. Irrespective of the style, all Betty Boop Costumes have a few things in common- it is always red, cut across the things, usually strapless (though you can go for models that come with a thin lacey strap). Another thing to bear in mind is, Betty Boop always featured as a brunette, so you’ll have to get a black wig with the trademark curls which is usually not a problem since it is a part of most Betty Boop Costumes; if it isn’t, you will have to get one separately.

If you are getting a costume that ends above your knee, you’ll have to go for black or white fishnet stockings which are best carried off by a garter belt worn over them (this even helps you keep the stockings from rolling down). Alternately, a red garter belt may be used simply for decoration, regardless of the length of the costume. This can be used whether or not a pair of stockings are worn. If you are the kind to pay attention to detail, you might want to complete the look with a pair of ruby shoes and a pair of graced white gloves. A pair of white tanga panties are also a part of Betty Boop Costumes usually. But again, the flexibility present makes it possible for you to use other models of your choice.

While not particularly outrageous, thanks to the popularity, the Betty Boop costume is still sure to make you the focus of attention anywhere you use it.
