The Flintstones are not only a much loved cartoon, but they have also become one of the most popular costume selections for special occasions, especially around the Halloween holidays. Popular Flintstones costumes include those worn by the patriarch figure Fred Flintstone, his wife Wilma Flintstone, his beloved friends Barney Rubble, Barney’s wife Betty Rubble, Pebbles Flintstone, Bamm Bamm, and the lovable Dino.
These Flintstones costumes can easily be found in both child and adult sizes. You shouldn’t have a hard time finding these Flintstones costumes at local costume stores and many of the costumes online for rent or purchase on websites. Some may even choose to customize their Flintstones costumes, as the designs are relatively easy to put together. Specialty costume stores may pay more attention to detail, but this does not mean that costumes sold at flea markets or discount stores are inferior. If you have a budget to stick to, you can always buy a basic Flintstones costume and make any necessary adjustments and additions yourself, making the costume more unique!
The jagged edges on the hems are characteristic of the costumes to signify the stone age era. Many costume shops also carry other typical accessories such as the caveman’s club, a Flintstones mask, Fred Flintstone’s tie, a red wig from Wilma Flintstone, Little Pebbles’s wig tied with a bone or the cute necklace from white pearls that Wilma Flintstone wears in the form of Styrofoam.
Some stores even have hairy latex caveman feet or a buffalo shack hat to complete the ensemble! For those extra additions, you can always cut out some leopard prints and glue them onto the costume. It will be a lot of fun trying to add those designs and little details so characteristic of the Flintstones costumes to make the whole look more special.
Just remember that if you decide to hire or purchase any Flintstones costume in stores, allow plenty of time for them to make modifications to make the costume fit you perfectly. If you’re feeling creative and a bit adventurous, why not try going through your old clothes and see if you can find a good fabric to make the costume yourself.
This is definitely a cheaper way to create your own Flintstones costume creation. The ready-made ones will not be as special as the handmade ones. If you don’t want to be stuck with just the Flintstones costume year after year, then take a look at some stores that offer costume rental service. This way you can try different costumes for different occasions.
Please note, as with any rental service, the store will likely insist that you make a deposit to prevent loss or damage to the costume when you return it; however, if you take good care of yourself and return the costume in the same condition it was purchased, your full deposit will be returned. The money is really to cover the repair costs of damaged suits, such as tears and stains. Just be careful when wearing the costume and it should be fine.
