What comes with traditional Halloween costumes?
These standard Indian and Native American looks come with a simple dress in a neutral color like brown or tan. These colors mimic the look of those worn by Native Americans in the past. The American Indian look may feature some additional decorations or designs. It may have a small-size collar made from fringe around the top or some beads in bright colors like turquoise and pink. Some Indian costumes come with other accessories too.
- Shoe/boot covers: These covers come in colors like black and match back to the American Indian tunic or shirt and skirt. The covers fit over the top of boots, running shoes, and other types of shoes. This makes any shoe work with the total look and allows your kids to wear their favorite shoes and feel more comfortable.
- Headband: You might appreciate a costume that comes with a matching headband. Girls can pull their hair back or into two braids and wear the band to keep their hair in place.
- Optional belt: Some Halloween costumes come with an optional belt that kids can wear or leave off. This belt fits around the dress or tunic.
What optional American Indian accessories are there?
To make a girls' Indian costume look even more authentic, you might opt for some extra accessories. A little girl who wants to be Pocahontas or Sacajawea can wear a wig. American Indian accessories that work with her costume include beaded jewelry like a choker that fits around her neck. She can complete the look with flowers and sandals. You'll also find bags in native designs that work with the costume. These native costume bags will help her keep track of her Halloween candy.
What size native costume does your child need?
Girls come in different shapes and sizes, but you can find Halloween costumes for your daughters easily. Native American costumes should have an American Indian dress that falls to the knee or ankle. If the Indian costume is too short, girls can wear it with leggings, tights, or pants. The dress part of the Indian costume should be a little loose.
What are some less traditional native costume ideas?
Not all American Indian costumes have the same traditional native look as others. Some take elements of native Indian cultures like wolves and other wild animals. Those animals add a spooky Halloween look to an Indian costume. Other American Indian costumes for Halloween are more appropriate for younger girls. These outfits add more fabric to the Native American tunic to cover more of your little girl. You'll find more authentic native outfits too. These Native American Halloween outfits are suitable for kids with an interest in native history.
