A Wizard of Oz Costume takes you back in time to the days of your childhood. This film was one that always stuck in my mind, funnily enough not so much about anything that happened when Dorothy actually got to Oz, but the whole black and white sequence where Dorothy’s house got caught up in the hurricane.
But whatever, the Wizard of Oz left a mark in many a child’s memory, not to mention adults too. The story has been said to be so rich that rather than being a mere fantasy story, it has been claimed that it is actually fiction used to make a social and political allegory with the characters actually representing real life people and various other events that were going on at the time. That certainly adds a rich layer to the whole fantasy epic for sure.
Based on real life or not, wizard of Oz costumes are great for a party because most people are familiar with the film and the catchy song from their younger years. So turning up as the Cowardly Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow or Dorothy herself is sure to delight. But it doesn’t end there, oh no. You can also be the Mayor, a flying monkey, the White Witch Glinda, or the Wicked Witch of the West. You could even be one of the Wicked Witches minions – a flying monkey. And if you have a dog, you could also get your pet in on the action too as Wizard of Oz Costumes for dogs are also available.
If you like your costumes a little more rique, rough or twisted, you can find Wizard of oz Costumes with a twist. This series of Costumes are called the Wicked Of Oz. These costumes as mentioned are a twist on the usual costumes. So Dorothy is no longer an innocent little girl, but rather a sexy madam, the Cowardly Lion is now the Scary Lion with bloodstained costume and claws – you don’t want to mess with him. If you thought the flying monkeys looked scary before, they now have a far more menacing appearance.
Whatever your desire, a fancy dress party is a fantastic way to relieve stress and forget about the day to day hustle and bustle. These parties work best when everyone makes an effort to look and play a character, so it is great to be a famous chatacter rather than a mere chracature. When it comes to finding a famous character to dress up as for the party, you will find great Wizard of Oz Costumes to accommodate that need!
