Pluto Costume
Bring Mickey's loyal pup to life in bright yellow-orange style.
Pluto is Mickey Mouse's loyal, energetic pet dog and one of Disney's classic 'Sensational Six' characters. Unlike his cartoon peers, Pluto remains a true pup rather than walking upright, making him a beloved choice for cozy, family-friendly costumes. This look centers on a bright yellow-orange bodysuit, floppy black ears, and his signature green collar.
