How To Make A Great Sumo Wrestler Costume At Home


One of the most common costumes to create for Halloween or for other dress up gatherings, is the sumo wrestler costume. This is a simple costume to create, though, the ones that you buy have neat features that you cannot create at home, like the inflatable version.

You should start with locating the perfect shape for your costume. The simplest method to do this is with a fat suit. However, fat suits are quite costly. Another option is to stuff a leotard with cotton, but then you might appear lumpy. A last choice is to build a structure to shape the costume in the proper shape.

After this you have to think about which type of shoes you'll be wearing. Traditionally, wrestlers compete with no shoes. You probably do not want to go out in bare feet. You could wear skin colored shoes, or flip flops. Sumo wrestlers wear wood sandals when traveling and out of doors, you can locate similar ones at the shop.

After this, you will have to start thinking about how you will do your hair. Many sumo wrestlers have longer black hair and wear it in a ponytail or a high bun. If you do not have much hair, then just find a black wig. If you do have long, dark, hair, just wear it in a lower ponytail or a high bun.

The last thing you need to think about is the fabric. This is simply a piece of cloth which is wrapped around sort of like underwear. You could simply just safety pin this in place. Good luck with your sumo wrestling costume!
