How to put it together
- 1
Put on the green tights or leggings first to establish your base layer.
- 2
Slip the green tunic or modified oversized t-shirt over your head.
- 3
Fasten the brown belt securely around your waist, cinching the tunic to create a slightly puffed look above the belt.
- 4
Tuck the toy dagger into the side of your belt so it hangs securely at your hip.
- 5
Put on your brown shoes or slip the brown shoe covers over your everyday footwear.
- 6
Place the pointed green hat on your head, tilting it slightly forward or to one side to show off the red feather.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup minimal and natural with a touch of bronzer for an outdoorsy, sun-kissed look. If you do not have short, messy brown or dark blonde hair, style yours with light pomade for a windblown, adventurous texture.

Peter Pan costume FAQ
- How do I make a Peter Pan collar?
- While the classic Disney animated Peter Pan actually wears a V-neck tunic without a collar, you can easily add a flat, rounded 'Peter Pan style' collar by cutting the shape out of white or light green felt and fabric-gluing it to the neckline.
- What shade of green is Peter Pan's outfit?
- The canonical Disney version features a bright, medium grass-green tunic with slightly lighter, olive-green or lime-green tights.
- Is a Peter Pan costume comfortable for all-day wear?
- Yes, because it relies on a loose-fitting tunic and stretchy leggings, it is one of the most lightweight, breathable, and comfortable costumes to wear for long periods.
Did you know? In early stage productions of Peter Pan, the character was traditionally played by adult women—starting with Maude Adams in 1905—because of child labor laws and the physical demands of the flying harnesses.
