Dazzle Admirers in a Peacock Costume?
Peacocks are among the most beautiful birds in the world. Their large, colorful feathers not only catch the eye of potential mates, they awe everyone who looks at them. The iridescent sheen is impressive to behold. A peacock is like a walking rainbow. If you want to dress as a peacock, the tail feathers are the most important part, since that is what everyone notices about a peacock. To start off with, you should find an outfit of deep, rich blue to represent the body of the peacock. This shade of blue is astounding and beautiful, and you may have a difficult time matching it exactly, but just try to find a very attractive color of blue that is fairly deep. You can also make something if you are the crafty type. It's better if you are, since you will probably need to make the tail unless you can find a peacock tail in a costume shop. The tail of a peacock is wide when he is strutting to show off his plumage to whoever cares to see it. The feathers are bright green with spots on the end that resemble eyes. These big dots are bright blue with a smaller splotch of purplish-blue inside. Outside of the blue, it's brown, and outside of that is a teardrop shape of green. The best way to really display a peacock tail is to get ahold of some actual peacock feathers and attach them to a hard surface like cardboard to give them stability. If you can't find any real feathers, however, you can present the general look of a peacock tail by painting cardboard bright green and filling in the multi-colored spots or sewing a tail that has a similar pattern and rigging it up so that it resembles a tail. A peacock, first and foremost, needs to be extremely colorful, so the actual colors used may not be as important as the vibrance of the colors that are selected. Still, if you can incorporate lots of blue and green into your costume, you will be more easily recognizable as that stately bird that seems to get such a thrill out of showing off.
