How do you make a maternity avocado costume?

Wear a tight-fitting green shirt, cut a hole out of the stomach area, and wear a brown shirt underneath so your baby bump acts as the brown avocado pit.

What should I wear under an avocado costume?

Solid black, dark green, or dark brown long-sleeve shirts and leggings work best to keep the focus on the avocado shape.

Can I sit down while wearing the plush tunic?

Yes, most foam and fabric avocado tunics are flexible enough to fold up slightly when you sit, though standing is most comfortable.

Tips

If you are pregnant, this is a perfect maternity costume; the brown pit sits naturally over your baby bump.

If using a cardboard DIY version, use wide shoulder straps made of ribbon or elastic to distribute the weight comfortably.
