ABOUT TINY TIM:
Dearly loved by his family, Tiny Tim serves to highlight the harsh reality of Victorian Britain, where wealth and profitability were often favored over human compassion and decency.
It is Tim’s potential death, foretold by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, that serves as the catalyst for Scrooge’s eventual transformation and redemption.
Tiny Tim’s character is the emotional heartbeat of Charles Dickens’ otherwise bleak A Christmas Carol: A reminder of the importance of looking after our fellow man.
“God bless us, every one!”
1. JACKET – For our Tiny Tim costume, we started with a simple tweed blazer. This is a great option for recreating that Victorian working-class child aesthetic. You might want to dirty up your new blazer, too, for that authentic ‘chimney boy’ look.
2. PANTS –We recommend wearing either a pair of loose-fitting pinstripe bottoms (the kind you would wear as pajamas) or something more heavy-duty, such as a pair of brown corduroys.
3. HAT – No Tiny Tim outfit is complete without an authentic newsboy cap. This is one of the most important props, and it really does do an awful lot of the heavy lifting for this costume.
4. SHOES – Add a pair of plain and simple shoes, such as brown moccasins or maybe even that old pair of Oxford shoes you have lying around (make sure they are nicely scuffed and well-loved).
5. SCARF – Wear a brown scarf over your blazer. A coarser material such as twill is great for this but the important thing is that your scarf looks well-worn and dull.
6. CRUTCHES – If you want to make a truly authentic Tiny Tim, a standard wooden cane is an easy and inexpensive addition.
Optionally, add a DIY leather leg strap and a wooden splint to your ‘broken’ leg as a great finishing touch.
