ABOUT DEXTER’S MOM:
Dexter’s Mom, the unsung hero of Dexter’s Laboratory, is a domestic goddess with a secret wild side. With her perfectly coiffed red hair, rubber gloves, and ever-present apron, she’s the epitome of 1950s housewife chic. But don’t let her wholesome exterior fool you – this mama’s got moves! Whether she’s busting out disco dance routines or karate-chopping monsters, Dexter’s Mom proves she’s more than just a pretty face in the kitchen. Her infectious laugh and unwavering love for her family make her the true heart of the Dexter household, even if she remains blissfully unaware of her son’s secret laboratory.
1. APRON – We started our Dexter’s Mom costume with a cheap everyday kitchen apron.
2. SHIRT – Next, a light green collared shirt worn underneath the apron.
3. TIGHTS – A pair of dark green tights or skintight pants is called for to fully accentuate Dexter’s Mom’s plentiful ‘assets’.
4. GLOVES – An everyday pair of yellow kitchen gloves is next.
5. EARRINGS – Simple but not subtle, Dexter’s mom wears a prominent pair of gold stud earrings.
6. LIPSTICK – The makeup is simple but she does wear a bold red lipstick color.
7. WIG – If you aren’t a natural redhead or don’t want to dye your hair, then this short dirty orange wig is ideal.
8. SHOES – Finally, a pair of green flats rounds out this simple yet effective Dexter’s Laboratory costume.
Dexter’s Mom, though modestly dressed and sweet as blueberry pie, holds an undeniable allure. Maybe its those skintight trousers? Who knows…
