Look for rompers or pajamas with childlike patterns. Cartoon animals, stars, checkered patterns, and bright colors are all great options. Some stores sell animal costumes for adults that look a lot like footie pajamas or onesies. These tend to look like something a baby might wear. You could get, for example, a monkey costume and dress yourself up like a baby.
Go for childish patterns. Striped dresses, polka-dot dresses, or dresses decorated with cartoonish patterns can all contribute to the baby-like appearance. If you can fit into items from the juniors department, you may find some dresses have cartoon animal designs. This can really help you look like a baby.
You can try to make your own fake diaper if you do not have the money for a store bought variety. You can wrap toilet paper around a pair of shorts, for example, to make it look as if you’re wearing a diaper. If toilet paper feels too much like a mummy, try taking a white pillow case or white towel. Wrap it over your bottom like a diaper. You can try having a friend wrap a towel around you as if they were putting a diaper on a large baby. This can help your fake diaper look more realistic. A diaper pin can also help with the baby look. Try to purchase an oversized diaper pin at a costume store. You can bend gray pipe cleaners into the shape of a diaper in and glue this on your fake diaper.
You can try to knit yourself a pair of adult-sized booties, if you have time. You can knit using a pattern for a baby bootie, but increase the length to fit an adult. Department stores often sell colorful, fuzzy socks. Consider purchasing a brightly colored pair of fuzzy socks and sewing on buttons or buckles. This can give the socks the appearance of a baby bootie.
Wear a colorful, baby-like t-shirt underneath your overalls. See if you can find overalls with any patterns or embroideries stitched on. This can increase the childlike appearance. Make sure you do not just wear overalls. This may make you look like you’re going for a hillbilly or farmer costume. Colorful overalls, such as purple overalls, can lessen the farmer appearance. You should also make sure to incorporate baby footwear, as well as some baby-like accessories, to make it clear you’re going as a baby.
You can also try a basic makeup primer to match your skin tone. This will also smooth out skin and lessen the appearance of blemishes and imperfections.
Do not overdo the mascara, however. You just want to make your eyelashes stand out more. You do not want to make it look as if you’re wearing makeup, as this is not baby-like.
Spread the concealer across your face using your fingers, a sponge, or a makeup brush. Target any discolored skin or blemishes. Also, make sure to apply under the eyes and around the nose. Work in the concealer until your skin looks smooth and baby like.
Don’t be afraid to go a little haphazard with your hairstyle. Babies often squirm when their hair is brushed or touched, so it’s not uncommon for some hair to be loose or for the pigtails to be uneven.
Make sure to tie the pacifier around a ribbon and carry it around your neck.
If you want to solidify the baby look, buy a novelty pair of oversized sunglasses. You can wear this with a bucket hat or a wide brimmed hat. This can make it look like you’re a baby on a warm spring or summer day. Go for larger hats. If a hat looks awkwardly big on you, you’ll look more baby-sized.
You can also look into oversized accessories. A giant bow, for example, can make you look baby-sized.
Many department stores sell oversized teddy bears or other plush toys. This can really help with the baby look. If you go to a large department store, such items will not be too expensive. If you’re choosing a blanket, choose a childish one if possible. Consider buying a cheap child’s blanket at a local department store for your costume.
