Cindy Lou Who Costume

When creating the Whoville characters, Seuss purposefully drew them as a cute cross between small insects and humans. Original Whoville residents wore simple antenna.

The original Cindy Lou Who was bald. (She was two.) Unless you want to shave your head, pair antenna with the 1966 hair below.

In both the book and the 1966 cartoon, Cindy Lou wore a light pink night gown. For a warmer version, look for a fluffy pink robe and pair with flesh toned leggings and long sleeved tshirt.

Unlike Cindy Lou's elaborate hairstyle in the 2000 movie and her bald head in the book, the cartoon version of Cindy Lou Who shows short blond locks. Style hair simply and tie two red bows in the back.

Also see antenna and pajama above in book version.

Cindy Lou carries a giant red Christmas ornament. If wearing this costume for trick-or-treating on Halloween, look for a large red bubble purse or paint a pumpkin bucket red.

When Cindy Lou Who first meets the Grinch while walking down the street, she's wearing a red velvet cape with white trim around the hood and down the front. A simple Little Red Riding Hood style cape can be easily turned into Cindy's cape by attaching fun fur (with a whip stitch or hot glue) to the edges of the coat. She wears a cute black and white gingham dress under the cape with red leggings.

Hair should be worn in typical Movie Cindy-Lou fashion (see below) but with a tea cup fascinator.

In a lesser-known scene of the movie, Cindy Lou wears a white gown with large red polka dots, puffed sleeves, peter pan collar and a red velvet short vest. Hair should be worn up in with the ends of the braids and top hair curled. Tie braids with matching red and white ribbons. She also wears a large, red beaded choker. See photo....
