The Grinch Costume Guide

How to dress like The Grinch for women.

ABOUT THE GRINCH:

The Grinch is a grouchy green creature who despises Christmas and everything associated with it. His lack of festive cheer is in stark contrast to the residents of Whoville who spend the entire year wholeheartedly preparing for the next Christmas season.

Driven by his hatred for the holiday, the Grinch hatches a dastardly plan to ruin Christmas for everyone. Disguised as Santa Claus, the Grinch sneaks into Whoville and steals all of the presents, food, and decorations.

How To Dress Like a Female Grinch

1. BODYSUIT – The base of our sexy Grinch costume is a cute lime-green bodysuit. This is a great option as it offers a blank canvas for us to build on with our various Grinch-related accessories.

2. FEATHER BOA – Add some texture with a matching green feather boa. We were delighted with how much this looks like the Grinch’s fur.

3. LIGHT-UP SKIRT – Round off the base of your female Grinch costume with a green tutu. We also went for a light-up skirt in keeping with the festive feel of this outfit.

4. GLOVES – Now for the festive touch. Start with a pair of red velvet gloves with white fur lining. We didn’t want to fully cover up with a full Santa Claus jacket so we’re going with a few selective themed accessories instead.

5. HAT – Is any Christmas costume complete without a traditional Santa hat? You can pick one of these up pretty much anywhere around this time of year.

6. SOCKS – A pair of candy-striped socks was also a must for our sexy Grinch costume.

7. EARRINGS – The pièce de résistance for our female Grinch outfit; these adorable earrings matched our red and green color scheme perfectly.
