Costumes and fancy dress from Disney have always been popular and with fantastic characters like Mickey Mouse Costumes, Donald Duck, Woody and Buzz Lightyear costumes from Toy Story, Tinkerbell costumes from the Peter Pan story and Disney film, you can see why. But for me one of my favourites has always been Minnie Mouse Costumes. Origins of the Minnie Mouse Fancy Dress Costume In 1928 Mickey Mouse was created by Walt Disney and he knew from his prior success with Oswald the Luck Rabbit that Mickey would need to have a love interest and that character would later become Minnie Mouse.

The Minnie Mouse Costume and Fancy Dress
Originally when Mickey Mouse was released, Minnie did not have a name yet, but her dress and costume was in the fashion of a flapper girl which was in the 1920's more than just fashion, but also almost a movement, where young women would wear short skirts, wear bobbed hair and mostly danced and listened to Jazz music. They were also initially thought to wear excessive makeup, were too casual with their views on sex, smoked and generally behaved in such a way that was looked down on. So for Walt Disney to have the Minnie Mouse Costume in the form of a flapper girl must have been a gamble at the time, but now because of that I think that is what makes the Minnie Mouse costume one of the most popular Disney costumes out there. More on the Minnie Mouse Costume here So most Minnie Mouse costumes that you can buy online and in fancy dress shops currently have a dress that resembles a flapper dress and is almost always red with white spots and comes with the black mouse ears.

Places to buy a Minnie Mouse Costume:
I have always bought my fancy dress costumes online and my fav place has always been fancy dress from Jokers' Masquerade who have a massive stock of costumes, you will often see me recommend them and I do this because I think they are great. Another great place to look is Amazon as they also pretty much always have a large selection of costumes.

Ok, so this actual costume (see image) is not an Alice in Wonderland Costume, but a Sexy version of a Character in Alice in wonderland, The Queen of Hearts. For those of you who don't know, Alice in Wonderland was released as a Walt Disney film in 1951, but the original book was written by Lewis Carroll in 1865. Lewis was from England and his actual name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and he wrote the books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and then later Alice Through the Looking-Glass The main characters are Alice, a young girl (seven and a half) who follows The White Rabbit through a hole into Wonderland where she meets The King And Queen of Hearts as well as many other interesting characters. The story is a classic and there are many spin offs because of it, including Alice costumes and this excellent Queen of Hearts Costume.
