Toy Story 4 Costume

We do a group costume each year and it’s so fun that every year the group get bigger because more people want to join in the fun! So this year we needed something with a lot of characters and with Toy Story being popular we decided to do it but knew since it was so popular we would have to do it really well! No store bought costumes here! So we decided on Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Bo Peep and the slinky dog! The slinky dog and the buzz costume were the most difficult. The dog head is actually a giant beach ball covered in fabric! We were very nervous that it would somehow get popped in the weeks leading up to when we would be wearing it but it made it! And the body was the wiring from a kids play tunnel attached between two garden planters. The Buzz costume was constructed mainly from foam gym mats that we spray painted and decorated with foam sheets and the tubing around the mid section was foam insulation tubing. Another funny detail was that our Woody is actually bald so he used brown latex for his “hair”. Bo Peep and Jessie didn’t go the easy route either, both their costumes were pieced together and a lot of hand sewing was done to perfect the looks! We had a lot of fun making our debut at the party and the bar we went to and the slinky dog (especially) and buzz get extra points for maneuvering around in their costumes all night! It was not easy but they took one for the team!
