Princess Peach costumes are popular halloween outfits, having their roots in the 1980s Nintendo Super Mario Bros. video games. Princess Peach, originally know as Princess Toadstool, has become a popular feminine icon for those interested in 80s pop culture.
Princess Peach is a beautiful, young princess, who, in the video games, is alternatingly in need of rescue and helping to rescue others. The Princess is known to be kind, sweet and good natured, and in most games, is selfless and generous. Beginning with Super Mario Bros. 2, the Princess was given the power to float through mid air, using her ball gown to suspend her above the ground and to leap over dangerous obstacles.
Princess Peach’s most identifiable physical characteristics are her long, golden blonde hair, pink ball gown, and golden yellow crown. Though, in some of the more modern Super Mario Bros. sporting games she wears pink shorts and a pink sports bra, with pink ballet sneakers. Some fan art even depicts her wearing blue jeans, a pink shirt, and her crown.
Princess Peach halloween costumes are available for sale as an adult sized costume. Most sets include three pieces: the pink princess dress, one golden crown and a pair of long white gloves. To truly look like Princess Peach involves a bit more attention to detail. If one is able to find a pink ball gown, the rest of the costume is relatively easy to assemble.
Atop her long, golden blond hair, Princess Peach wears a yellow crown, encrusted with alternating red and blue jewels (sapphires and rubies) all the way around; this could be easily made of cardboard, paint and simple craft supplies. Peach’s bright blue eyes sparkle on her pale complexion, and she seems to always wear either a bright smile on her full, pink lips, or a surprised appearance. The Princess wears a blue jewel around her neck, on a golden yellow chain. She wears her ball dress tight to the waste, then flowing down, also wearing pink nail polish, white evening gloves, and large, round, blue earrings. Her shoes are pink, and either flats or heals will work well.
