Mad Hatter Costumes for Men and Women

mad hatter costume men women

The Mad Hatter has been redone once again, and this time by Johnny Depp and Tim Burton in the new, darker rendition of Alice in Wonderland. This of course inspired a boat load of people to dress as their new favorite semi-scottish, all-crazy tea time friend, The Hatter!

The Mad Hatter Costume can be done is so many ways; men, women, kids, bright colors, dark colors, orange hair, white makeup, big shoes, wild patterns, the list goes on. This really is a great year to be a Mad Hatter.

I’m liking this trend of do-it-your-way costuming where we don’t stick to the exact replica of the movie, but we are encouraged to add our own flair, our own attitude, our own flavor of crazy-like-a-hatter swagger, and of course, our own futterwackin’ dance moves.

Head over to the Mad Hatter Costume page and see for yourself all the different ways to be as crazy as a Hatter!


Are You Searching for a Steampunk Costume?

Until recently it’s been rather difficult to find Victorian era style clothing. Now it’s 2010 my friends and retro clothing just got much, much older. The Victorian era style is coming back and it’s quite apparent in many places.

Mable’s guide to Steampunk Clothing is a great place to start when putting together your own custom costume.

Check out BuyCostumes for their Steampunk kits; if you’re just looking for a quick one-night costume.

Of course there is even the now famous Steampunk Emporium if you are looking for high quality everyday wear. They have excellent outfits ready to buy for many Victorian/Steampunk characters.

Where do you prefer to buy your Steampunk gear?
