Mary Poppins Costumes

 

She's practically perfect in every way so it makes sense that there'd be those of us out there who'd want to be Mary Poppins for at least one day.

Luckily, buycostumes has released an exclusive English Nanny costume that makes a perfect Mary Poppins costume. 

The History of Mary Poppins 

Mary Poppins was written by P.L. Travers and originally published in 1934. In 1964, Walt Disney produced the musical film based on Travers' work, Mary Poppins, which starred Julie Andrews in the lead role. Dame Julie won the Oscar for her portrayal of the precocious English Nanny.



In 2004, Disney produced a theatrical musical based on the film and novel. The musical opened on Broadway in 2006.



And today, there's a new English nanny on the horizon as you pick out the costume of your London rooftop dreams and become practically perfect in your own way.

Great suggestions, Maddy. You can also buy one of the black brooms they sell for Halloween and spread the bristles apart to make a chimney sweep. :)

Get him a cloth cap, and a dark mismatched suit. Take in the pants so that the legs are very slim, and hem a bit short. Bert wore a dark red ascot tie under his shirt, but wore it with the ends out with a dark shirt as the Chimney Sweep. Burn one end of a wine cork to create soot to smudge his face.
