Pippi Longstocking Costume

Pippi Longstocking

Pippi Longstocking is the picture of independence. She lives alone in Villa Villekulla and is strong enough to lift a horse above her head. Pippi has served as someone for little girls to look up to for decades. If, like me, you enjoyed reading all about Pippi Longstocking's adventures when you were growing up then you may want to dress up as Pippi for Halloween.

There are many ideas for Pippi Longstocking costumes. The suggestions presented here are ideas and products that will help you create a Pippi costume that holds true to the book.

 


Introductory picture is my copy of Pippi Longstocking

“I'll always come out on top.”

Hair

Pippi has red hair braided into two braids that stick straight out. This is Pippi's most distinctive feature. Don't forget to add freckles around the nose.

Long Stockings

Pippi wears mismatched long stockings. She wears one black one and one brown one.
Loading

Shoes

Pippi has black shoes that are twice as big as they should be. Her father expected her to grow into them.

These clown shoes are made to fit over regular shoes.

Dress

Pippi wears a blue dress that she made herself. She didn't have quite enough blue cloth so she sewed red patches onto it.

Any of these simple blue dresses would look like a good Pippi dress. And of course you'll need red fabric to sew patches onto the dress.

Gold Coins

Pippi has a bunch of gold coins to use for buying anything she needs. She obtained these from her father's ship when they were separated. You can carry chocolate gold coins around and hand them out to people. Leave the top of a couple of the red patches on the dress open and use them as pockets.

Mr. Nilsson

And of course what Pippi Longstocking costume would be complete without Pippi's pet monkey, Mr. Nilsson. Mr. Nilsson wears blue pants, a yellow jacket, and a straw hat.

This stuffed monkey is made to sit up on its own and is perfect for pinning to your shoulder to give your costume that final touch.

    Pippi Longstocking is a delightful character. It would be so much fun to dress in a Pippi Longstocking costume with her bright red pigtails sticking out and her over-sized black shoes.

    No dressing up for me. I'll just take off my mask. :)
    If I were a child I think that this would be a nice costume though. In fact a great idea!

    I remember my teacher (man) wearing Pippi Longstocking hair one day when I was in elementary school. :-)
