IT Cosplay Costume
The IT costume is one that every horror movie cosplayer should try out at least once. Everything about the Pennywise costume is dramatic and frightening, as you might expect. You’ll need to get every piece just right to pull it off properly.
Begin with a ready-to-wear costume of Pennywise, as it is a very specific garment that might be difficult to replicate if you aren’t a seamstress. For the wig, you’ll need a dark orange clown wig that you can style to look like his. Do your best to find a pair of boots made to replicate his or that look close to them.
His face is as important as his attire. He has an all-white face that you can recreate using white face paint. Pennywise wears a creepy smile that is outlined in red. The red runs up to his eyebrows. Using red face paint, you should be able to replicate it with ease. One of Pennywise’s signature items is the red balloon that floats around whenever he is nearby. He sometimes carries it around. Grab some red balloons you can carry around with you to really make it accurate.
