Dolly Parton Costume

Get sexy this Halloween with a simple yet eye-catching Dolly Parton costume. One of the few real people who has such an appeal when it comes to fancy dresses and costume parties, Dolly Parton is well known for her outrageous and flashy dressing sense. Apart from the many distinctions she holds, Dolly Parton is widely known for another reason- her voluptuous figure. But don’t worry if you are not particularly buxom, you can always get a Dolly Parton costume that comes pre-fitted with an oversized chest. These costumes usually also fulfill a few other requirements such as the cowgirl style skirt, a neck scarf, etc making sure just about anyone willing to use the costume can carry it off.

A Singer, songwriter, musician (multi-instrumentalist), author, actress and philanthropist- Dolly Parton has accomplished a lot and her popularity among women of all age groups is understandable. There is a lot of flexibility as regards a Dolly Parton costume, given the fact that she does not always dress the same way. A few distinguishing features such as a low cut top and a matching skirt to go with it are common to almost any costume of hers. These costumes may be of different styles and colours but the most commonly seen one is the sparkly white dress. Not to forget- a very defining and very constant feature of almost any Dolly Parton costume is the blonde/platinum wig, without which the costume is nowhere close to complete.



With a little effort, like all other costumes, this costume can be made at home. This one is particularly easier since we’re dealing with a real person who dressed differently every time and so our boundaries are all the more flexible. Flamboyance and oversized are the keywords where this costume is concerned and care must be taken to maintain these traits. A blonde or platinum wig is needed first of all. As for the dress itself, any showy, western outfit should do. In case you are confused, use a white one. You almost certainly would need a prosthetic chest to match up her famous assets; ignoring this may leave your look incomplete. To go about preparing your prosthetic chest, Styrofoam balls can come handy. A large bra would be needed to hold them in place. To lend a finishing touch to your Dolly Parton costume, get stilettos with heels about three inches high(depending on your convenience) and don’t forget the makeup- looking at a few pictures of Dolly Parton could help this cause. The lips need to be lined in red with preferably red lipstick adorning them. Take care of your eyebrows and add false eyelashes too.

The best part about dressing like Dolly Parton is that you don’t have to worry about getting the look wrong- so long as you have taken care to put on enough make up, have your heels on and are flaunting a bulging bust line, the rules for the rest of the look are not as rigid as with other costumes.
