Mixing History And Fun With Native Indian Costumes
Native American costumes for women are available in an assortment of shapes, sizes and styles and are one of the more popular Halloween dress-up ideas every year.Because of its popularity, it’s quite easy to find a quality Native Indian costume at both costume stores and online at various sites that specialize in costumes and even authentic Native Indian wear. To get a complete and authentic look, other accessories should be used with the Native Indian costume, like Turquoise Jewelry, moccasins (Indian shoes) and some sort of feathered headdress. Below is a full accounting of the most important accessories you’ll need to help ensure that your Native Indian costume is the best looking and most authentic that it can be.
Accessory #1: A long, black wig.
No Native Indian costume for a woman can ever be complete without a long black wig, unless you have natural long black hair, you can use a wig and style it in a single or double braid, or even let the hair fall loose.To make the look traditional, an authentic headband can also be added.
Accessory no. 2- jewelry that looks authentic.
Visit your nearby Native American reservation to buy authentic looking Native American jewelry to make your Native American costume really stand out. What looks best with your costume is natural looking jewelry with smooth stones and turquoise. You can choose a long and flowing necklace or a more traditional looking choker.For an even more traditional look, use earrings with feathers or even dream catchers.Instead of metal necklaces, ones made from rawhide or leather are preferred.
The third Accessory-Face Paint
Women shouldn’t go overboard with this, since it will detract from the attractiveness of their look, but a few bold red stripes across the cheekbones on either side will certainly make your Native Indian costume more striking. Face paint can be purchased in your local costume shop, but a simple cream blush stick or rouge can also accomplish this look.
The fourth Accessory-Fake weaponry and props
If your child’s toy chest doesn’t have them already, it’s usually easy to find a set of Indian toy props like a tomahawk, peace pipe and small plastic knife at a local toy shop. While you’re there, consider picking up a fake bow and arrow set too. A great idea for a party favor is foam-tipped arrows, and they also keep you in character.
Accessory No. 5- Moccasins (Indian Shoes).
Leave the flip flops and sneakers at home and instead don a set of Indian Shoes, better known as moccasins. A lot of costume shops will sell these along with the Native Indian costume. If yours doesn’t, you can find them at a lot of shoe stores and definitely online.
Here’s a website that will cover more on Indian costume and moccasins, check it out.
