How to put it together

1
Put on the white bloomers or bike shorts first for comfort and coverage.
2
Slip on the pink polka dot dress, ensuring the white collar is neatly folded down.
3
Pull on the white crew socks, adjusting them so they sit just above the ankle.
4
Step into the black Mary Jane shoes and fasten the straps.
5
Put on the blonde wig, positioning the front fringe and ensuring the flipped ends curve outward.
6
Secure the wig with bobby pins and lightly mist with hairspray to keep the cartoonish shape intact.

Makeup & hair

Keep makeup simple and cartoon-like with a clean, matte face, a touch of pink blush on the cheeks, and minimal eye makeup. For hair, wear a bright yellow-blonde wig styled in a short, retro 1960s flip with a small tuft standing up at the top of the head.

Tips

Choose a dress made of structured cotton or scuba fabric to help maintain the flared, cartoon-like silhouette.
If you are trick-or-treating in cold weather, layer the outfit with white tights instead of socks and a simple pink cardigan.
Carry a plush Snoopy doll or a small blue blanket as a prop to make the Peanuts theme immediately obvious.
