Making costumes based on the classic board game Clue can be a fun and creative project. Here are steps to create costumes for each of the six iconic characters from the game: Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Professor Plum.
Miss Scarlett
To bring Miss Scarlett to life, wear a red dress or blouse and skirt combination. Accessorize with gloves, high heels, and a hat or fascinator to complete the ensemble. A faux pearl necklace, earrings, and handbag are must-haves to accentuate the southern charm. And don’t forget the southern drawl to embody the character fully.
Colonel Mustard
Colonel Mustard is easily recognizable in his yellow coat and black pants. To create his costume, start with a yellow jacket or blazer and pair it with black pants. Add a white dress shirt, black shoes, and a black bowtie. Accessorize with a pocket watch, a cane, and a monocle.
Mrs. White
Mrs. White is the stereotypical housekeeper, dressed in all white. To create her costume, start with a white dress or skirt and blouse combo. Add a white apron and a pair of white shoes. Accessorize with a feather duster and a bun or hairnet to complete the look.
Mr. Green
Mr. Green is a businessman and is often dressed in a green suit. To create his costume, start with a green suit and pair it with a white dress shirt, green tie, and black dress shoes. Accessorize with a fedora or bowler hat, a pair of glasses, and a briefcase.
Mrs. Peacock
Mrs. Peacock is known for her extravagant taste and love of blue. To create her costume, start with a blue dress or skirt and blouse combo. Add a pair of high heels, a hat or fascinator, and a pair of gloves. Accessorize with a blue feather boa, large statement earrings, and a handbag.
Professor Plum
Professor Plum is known for his love of purple and his academic background. To create his costume, start with a purple suit and pair it with a white dress shirt, purple tie, and black dress shoes. Accessorize with a pair of glasses, a pocket watch, and a cane. Don’t forget to add a pair of elbow patches on the suit jacket to complete the look.
