Muriel Costume Guide

ABOUT MURIEL:

Muriel, the kind-hearted owner of Courage the Cowardly Dog, is the true heart of the show. With her thick Scottish brogue, warm smile, and unwavering love for her grumpy husband Eustace and her neurotic pup, Muriel is the rock that keeps the chaos of Nowhere, Kansas from swallowing them all up. Whether she’s baking her famous “Muriel’s Chicken” or standing up to the supernatural horrors that plague their home, Muriel’s unflappable spirit and maternal instincts make her an unsung hero. She may be small in stature, but her capacity for love and courage knows no bounds.

How To Dress Like Muriel

1. APRON – Choose an apron that ties at the back rather than the front and you might also wish to shorten your apron slightly, particularly if you are going for a shorter dress.

2. DRESS – Find a plain orange dress. An oversized ‘T-shirt’ style dress is ideal for this as it will already have short sleeves and a similar baggy style.

3. BOOTS – Muriel wears a pair of oversized black boots. Wellington boots are a great outfit option that you might already have at home.

4. GLASSES – We recommend a pair of round sunglasses with a light pink tint. 

5. WIG – Go for a short and white/silvery wig, ideally with some light curls.

6. ROLLING PIN – Because sometimes Courage the Cowardly Dog can be a real nuisance, complete your Muriel costume with a wooden rolling pin.

Muriel is the kind of owner that ever good little pepper must dream of having. Protecting her from a constant onslaught of supernatural and evil beings is a small price to pay on the whole.
