Vanellope Von Schweetz Costume

Vanellope Von Schweetz is probably the character that girls identify most with in the movie 'Wreck It Ralph'. This hyperactive, loveable girl is one of the many stars of the fictional video game Sugar Rush. Her unique sense of style has made her a great character to dress up as for Halloween or for a party. On this page we're going to help you find the best items for your Vanellope costume.

Vanellope's Striped Tights



One of the first items that many girls want for their Vanellope Von Schweetz costume is her unique, striped tights. Tights such as those worn by Vanellope are very hard to find, largely because in the movie they are designed so that the pattern is different on each leg! However, the tights above have been designed specifically to replicate Vanellope's look from the movie!

Vanellope's Hair Style


Vanellope has a very unique hair style! With her liquorice scrunchy and her candy hair decorations she truly has her own sense of style! This can be hard to replicate in real life (you probably don't want to go round sticking sweet into your hair), but this tutorial can help you recreate Vanellope's hairstyle.

Vanellope's Hoodie


Last but not least, a key part of a Vanellope Von Schweetz costume is going to be her mint green hoodie. It can be difficult to find a hoodie which is the right shade to replicate the one in the movie, but the one I've shown here seems to be pretty close indeed!

Fix It Felix Jr. Costume

Fix It Felix Jr. is the cheesy protagonist of the self-titled, fictional video game 'Fix It Felix Jr.'. His arch nemesis (who over the course of the movie turns into his best friend) just so happens to be the one and only Wreck It Ralph.

Because of the popularity of the movie and the unique look of the protagonist Fix It Felix many people have found themselves wanting to dress up to be just like him! In this post we're going to run over exactly how to achieve the perfect Fix It Felix Jr. look!

Official Tool Belt and Hammer

This is one of the few items that Disney have officially created and licensed that will help you create a Fix It Felix Jr. costume. This hammer and belt play set has been designed as a children's toy, but it is perfect for helping you create your outfit for Halloween or a fancy dress party. It even makes sound effects when the hammer hits against a surface, or when you press a button on the side!

Fix It Felix Blue Shirt


Fix It Felix is always hard at work, so he's always wearing his light blue work shirt as a staple part of his outfit. I've found this boys shirt to be perfect for creating a Fix It Felix Jr. costume for young ones as it is exactly the right color and fits perfectly!

Fix It Felix's Hat

There is currently no hat on the market that is exactly the same of Fix It Felix Jr's, however we've found that this adjustable baseball cap is the exact color and shape that you will want to recreate Fix It Felix outfit!

Wreck It Ralph Costumes

Wreck It Ralph is the villian of the video game "Fix It Felix Jr.". Despite being created to be the bad guy, Wreck It Ralph is soft at heart. 

His story in the Disney movie 'Wreck It Ralph' in 2012 captured many hearts and minds. So much so that there are now thousands of people looking for Wreck It Ralph costumes, toys and games to fully enjoy their favourite character.

In this post we're going to go over some of the best items you can buy to create a Wreck It Ralph costume for your child.

The Wrecking Fists

Wrecking Fists
These Wrecking Fists, priced at around $25 are the perfect starting point for your Wreck It Ralph costume. These fists have been licensed and design by Disney, meaning you can rest assured that they are a high quality product. These hands are oversized so they replicate Wreck It Ralph's look perfectly; they even make sound effects when you use them! 

Overalls

Wreck It Ralph is known for his brown overalls and the fact that he always wears them clumsily unclipped at one side. Overalls are easily purchased for children to create a Wreck It Ralph costume, and even easier again to buy for adults. So long as you can find a brown pair they will fit right into your Ralph outfit.

Eyebrows
Wreck It Ralph also has big bushy eyebrows, and whilst it is easy to gel your hair up to look like Ralph it is less easy to make your eyebrows big and bushy! With this very simple and cheap accessory you can easily mimic the look of Wreck It Ralph and make your costume even more realistic and effective!
