What do you need for an Edward Scissorhands costume. Well, the hair, the clothes, the make-up and of course the scissorhands. If you thinking of going as Edward Scissorhands, then you have to get it right. Afterall you probably don’t have Johnny Depp looks to fall back on.
From the 1990 classic Tim Burton fantasy drama of the same name, Scissorhands is now a popular fancy dress costume believe it or not. Probably because of the distinctive scissorhands there can be no doubt who you are, unless you have gone badly wrong and are mistaken for Freddy Kruger.
An adult Edward Scissorhands costume requires a suede (or fake suede) long sleeve black top. This forms the base for most costumes you can buy. Also typically included are some accessories such as the collar, a wig (wild black hair) and of course the all important scissorhands.
Although their were other characters in the film, there aren’t really any other notable costumes that could be used, so it’s not really a costume for couples going to a fancy dress party, although you could go as characters from Tim Burton films such as Beetlejuice, Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman and so on. It’s almost as if he has single handedly created half the fancy dress costumes around today.
