ABOUT GINGY:

Gingy is a gingerbread man character in the Shrek franchise. He is initially kidnapped by the villainous Lord Farquaad, but through his wit and resolve, he is able to avoid further trouble and inspire the other fairy tale creatures. Gingy is depicted as a sweet and earnest character, with a cheerful and carefree demeanor that often serves as a facade for his more vulnerable side. Despite his small stature, Gingy demonstrates courage and determination, making him a beloved supporting character in the Shrek universe.

How To Dress Like Gingy

1. DRESS – For our female Gingy costume, we started with a simple brown midi dress.

2. SOCKS – Next, we went for a scrumptious pair of candy-cane striped tube socks.

3. BOOTS – These Ugg boots look like they were made for this outfit with the fur lining reminiscent of frosting.

4. BUTTONS – If you feel like getting crafty, then add some oversized purple buttons to your dress, or gum drops if you prefer!

5. BOWS – These red and white hair bow ties are optional but don’t they just complement the candy cane tube socks perfectly?

6. PAINT – You can use some white fabric paint to add some extra frosting details to your dress.

7. CANE – We couldn’t find a human-sized lollipop, unfortunately, so this oversized candy cane felt like the next best thing.

8. BROW PENCIL – Gingy has light blue eyebrows, almost exactly the same color as this candy-blue brow pencil!

9. LIPSTICK – Finally, apply some deep red lipstick and your Gingy outfit is ready!
