Peter Pan Costume Designs - Peter Pan


I wanted Peter's costume to be more true to his Victorian roots so I looked at images of Victorian stagings of the play and the 1924 film. I decided to include the famous 'Peter Pan' collar but to change the colour scheme of his costume from the well known Disney green to golden browns and earthy colours and this is contrasted with a lilac and black tunic. I also wanted to create layers so he is wearing two tunics and a leafy cape/bolero. Peter's costume will include leaves and cobwebs and hems will be torn to evoke him playing in the forest. The hat is shaped like a 1920's style child's peaked hood. It is an organic form and frames the face in a heart shape finishing at the back in a point, like an acorn or flower pod.
