Build your own Adelaide Costume
Adelaide outfit
Adelaide is depicted wearing a whimsical and eclectic ensemble that exudes an aura of mystical intrigue. She dons a conical burgundy witch's hat, accented with a scarlet ribbon tied up and down the top, in a zig-zag pattern, further ornamented with flowers around the brim. Her attire includes a deep, richly hued blouse of an earthy brown color, worn beneath a burnt orange capelet at the neck, decorated with dangly, tassled edges, and knotted in the front, adding a pop of color that contrasts with the otherwise dark costume. She wears a long, brown skirt, featuring a large pocket, appearing spacious and utilitarian, suggesting Adelaide may carry various items relevant to her practices or daily needs. In fact this could be swapped out for an apron, as it would be more likely to feature a large pocket, and could be paired with a long skirt of a similar color to appear consistent with the color combination of the rest of the outfit. The skirt and hat ensemble, combined with Adelaide's facial expression, contribute to an eccentric and enigmatic character presentation.
About Adelaide
Adelaide of the Pasture, voiced by John Cleese, is an elderly woman who is the sister of Auntie Whispers. She makes a promise to Beatrice to give her magical scissors to break the curse on Beatrice's family. However, Adelaide ends up trapping Wirt and Greg and tries to make them her servants. Auntie Whispers is killed when Beatrice opens a window in her house, causing the night air, which is lethal to her, to dissolve her. In addition to being deceptive, Adelaide is associated with The Beast and strikes a deal with Beatrice to exchange her scissors for Greg and Wirt. She has ambitions to enslave them and use them for her own purposes. Adelaide misleads others, pretending to be unwell in order to manipulate Beatrice, Greg, and Wirt into feeling sympathy for her and falling into her trap.
