The quintessential Alice in Wonderland costume can be traced back to the original John Tenniel illustrations for Lewis Carroll's novel Alice in Wonderland. Tenniel's Alice wears a cap-sleeved dress with a full skirt that comes down below her knees, frilly petticoats, an apron over the dress, knee socks, and flat Mary Janes. Tenniel's illustrations were in black and white, but subsequent adaptations of the novel -- namely the famous 1951 Walt Disney film -- have always made Alice's dress blue and the apron white. The Disney Alice also wears a ribbon in her hair with a bow on top. Alices are traditionally blond, so you may want to find a wig if you buy or rent a costume that does not include one.
Thanks to the visually stunning 2010 Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland film, many costume shops now stock affordable versions of Colleen Atwood's costumes for Alice, the Red Queen, and the Mad Hatter. Whether you want to look like Mia Wasikowska in the iconic blue and white Victorian dress or in her voluminous red and black "Um" dress, you're sure to be a huge hit at any party.
Sexy Alice costumes are another popular option. Shorten the skirt to a frilly mini, borrow an apron from a sexy French maid costume, bring the white socks up over the knee or try white stockings with a garter belt, wear a strappy pump instead of a flat, and you've got a sexy Alice who will certainly turn heads.
Dressing as Alice in Wonderland for Halloween, Mardi Gras, or a masquerade party is a great choice, both because the costume will be fairly easy to find and everyone will know exactly who you are. You can go for cute and sweet, or shockingly sexy. You will likely be able to rent the costume from a local costume shop or online. But if you really love Alice, you should be able to pick up a high quality costume inspired by either the classic Alice or the Tim Burton Alice for less than $100.
