Smiffy's Brown & White Striped Shepherd Adult Costume

Product Information

The Nativity play is a staple when it comes to Christmas celebrations. If your child's been cast as a shepherd, you might find yourself scrambling to find a costume at the last minute (especially since the letter telling you about it has probably been sitting at the bottom of their school bag for weeks!). Virgin Mary costume : Needless to say, this is the single most important character (other than a baby) that you'll need for your Nativity play. Without Mary, Jesus wouldn't have been born as she was given the ultimate task to give birth to the Saviour of mankind. Shop our fantastic range of Mary costumes for girls and women to have you ready for your nativity play.

You can use hot styling tools such as irons or curlers but temperature must be below 180°C / 356°F. To create any other costume for your nativity play, all you need to do is use the same white/cream base dress and dress it up with different accessories! For your Joseph costumes , add a brown vest or robe and a shepherd's crook, for the three wise man costumes , choose three different colours for your vest/robes and headpieces plus shop our Christmas accessories and add crowns and some facial hair. Making your own costume for a Christmas play can be as simple or as extravagant as you like but rest assured knowing that you can always shop at CostumeBox to save yourself the hassle.

Wise Man costumes : Don't forget, you'll need a wise man costume , or three, to ensure that baby Jesus is born into the world with gifts exalting the significance of His birth. Depending on which version you go by, you'll either have Three Wise Men or Three Kings and we have all the wise man and king costume ideas readily available in one convenient place online. How great is that? Shop our range of Three Kings and Three Wise Men costumes including Balthasar, Melchior and Gaspar. If you have a long skirt at home your child can wear this, otherwise add a length of fabric around the bottom of the tunic and secure it with safety pins.

I had known for a while that #JasperBean would take the role of shepherd in his school’s upcoming nativity. But I had put that piece of information aside thinking I had lots of time to prepare for it. Lo and behold, today was costume deadline day! Cue: *Panic*. I seriously needed to get my sh*t together and find/make something or my poor darling would pull one of his sad faces that he would never let me forget. After rummaging through my crafts corner, I’m happy to share with you our speedy 5 minute shepherds costume. Materials: Shopping list: An old white sheet, some silver tinsel and pipe cleaners, a headband, two sheets of white card, some elastic and 20 small muffin cake cases. If you don’t have any baggy trousers, increase the length of the tunic in the same way as for Mary’s costume. Start with a simple long sleeved white or cream coloured dress (an oversized top and skirt also works well) for the base of your Mary costume . Each comes with its own shopping list, although you will probably be able to find most of the items squirrelled away in a cupboard. It might even be worth raiding Grandma or Grandad’s wardrobe too!

Shepherd Costume for Men

Fold the sheet in half and cut a hole in the middle for your child’s head. Trim the bottom if it is too long (we don’t want any angels falling over on stage!) We're aware that the addition of the staff might seem extra, however, we think that it's pretty important. Joseph will most likely be wearing a similar costume to the shepherds. If they are carrying the sheep herding necessity that is the shepherd's crook, their station as one of the shepherds will be obvious at first sight to everyone in the church on Christmas Eve! And while having an extra prop might not be important to an adult, kids are sure to enjoy the way the staff makes them feel like a piece of the biblical past! Products can be washed in the washing machine on a cold setting. Dry cleaning from time to time is recommended
