Are you looking to dress up as the Mad Hatter for your next Steampunk convention? Well this is the perfect article for you for putting together your Mad Hatter outfit that will wow all those who see it.
The Mad Hatter is a fictional character from Lewis Carroll’s book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Although in the book the ‘Mad Hatter’ is only ever referred to as ‘Hatter’. He is a seemingly ‘mad’ character that speaks in riddles, dresses peculiarly, and has a strange fascination with time. The Mad Hatter’s depiction varies between the books and Disney, the main difference being the fact that in the book, the Hatter irritates Alice. He is an iconic character in which everybody knows and loves. His messing around with time is likely what makes him such an iconic Steampunk character and the perfect choice for your next Steampunk convention. Here is how to create a Steampunk Mad Hatter outfit:
Of course the most important part of the costume is the Hatter’s hat, but other important details include a tailcoat and boots.
First of all, let’s take a look at a hat that looks incredible.
- Official Disney/Movie product
- This is a Great costume hat
- It has a Velcro size adjuster
This hat shows the Disney Mad Hatter style perfectly, it features all the iconic designs such as the price ticket, the feather, and the long scarf tied around it. It is a bronze satin texture with golden floral patterns and it looks slightly large in size in order to really emphasise the main component of your Steampunk Mad Hatter outfit. You can even use this hat as a base and add other components onto it such as a pocket watch or playing cards. Even without the DIY element, this top hat is characteristic of the Mad Hatter look.
