A Baby Elvis Halloween Costume in 5 Fun Steps

1 – Pants

For this easy costume, we’re going to mimic one of Elvis’ white jumpsuits. You can either buy a pair of white satiny pants, or you can make your own. Depending on how big and how active your baby is, you may opt for buying them. They are, however, very simple to make, without a pattern even. You’ll need to buy some white satin material, and using a current pair of your baby’s pants, you can trace them twice on the material (being generous with space while tracing, you don’t want to make them too tight), then cut them out and sew them together. You can use a simple elastic sewn into a hem for the waist.

2 – Shirt

For the shirt, if you can buy one, I would suggest this, since they are a little more complicated than sewing a simple pair of pants. You can use a basic shirt as an outline again, but leave a lot of material around the collar to sew in a piece of soft plastic or cardboard. You’ll want to have enough fabric to completely cover the piece of collar. You’ll also want to sew the shirt with a very deep v – neck in front. One option is to cut the shirt front into two pieces, and reconnect them with just a few stitches near the waistline.

3 – Cape

The final piece of clothing for your baby Elvis is the cape. This can be done as a separate piece, and worn tied on. That way, if it gets in the way, it can be removed. You can use one semi – circle of white satin and another semi – circle of red satin and sew them together. attach two pieces of string at the top sides and you have a basic cape. You can finish your homemade baby Elvis outfit, by adding rhinestones. The BeDazzler that was popular in the early nineties is a quick and easy way to add some necessary sparkle to your costume.
