8 Fun Mrs. Claus Costumes That Bring Holiday Cheer to Any Event
Santa gets the headlines, but ask anyone who has worked a holiday event: Mrs. Claus is the one the shy kids walk up to first. She's warm, she's approachable, and she usually has the cookies. Below are eight Mrs. Claus costumes we have in stock right now, from a $36.99 satin dress for the office party to floor-length velvet for the mall stage. Sizes and included pieces come straight from each product page, and prices are at time of writing.
1. The classic: Burgundy Velvet Mrs. Claus Dress
If you picture Mrs. Claus in your head, this is her. The Women's Burgundy Velvet Mrs. Claus Dress ($239.99 in Large) is burgundy velvet with white long-hair plush trim and a back zipper. It includes a satin apron with lace trim and a mop-style hat with lace trim, and it runs Medium (8-10), Large (12-14), XL (16-18) and XXL (20-24). It's made to be worn beside our burgundy velvet Santa suits, which use the same plush trim.
2. The regal red version
Prefer a brighter red? The Women's Regal Red Velvet Mrs. Claus Dress ($269.99 in XL) is the same silhouette, apron and mop hat in regal red velvet, in the same Medium through XXL range. The Large 12-14 is $245.99. Pair it with a red Santa suit rather than a burgundy one so the couple matches.
3. Perky Pixie: the fun, shorter dress
Not every Mrs. Claus wants a floor-length gown. The Burgundy Velvet Perky Pixie Mrs. Claus Dress ($184.99 in Medium) is a v-neck velvet dress trimmed in white long-hair plush, with a velvet hat with a large pom-pom and a white vinyl belt. It also comes in green velvet ($162.99 in Medium) if you'd rather match the tree than the Santa.
4. Christmas Charmer: soft red with lace
The Women's Christmas Charmer Dress ($146.99 in XL, 16-18) is a soft red dress with white lace trim and a back zipper, and it includes a white cotton apron with room for candy canes. It's lighter than velvet, which makes it a favorite for hostesses who'll be moving around a warm kitchen all evening. Also available in Medium and Large.
5. Mrs. Klaus: sequins and pom-poms
For a bit more sparkle, the Women's Mrs. Klaus Costume ($158.99, Small, size 6-10) is a long red velvet dress trimmed with white fur, sequins and pom-poms, with a cord belt and mob cap. It ships separately from other items in your order, so allow for that if you're ordering close to an event.
6. Mrs. Christmas: the two-piece set
The Adults Mrs. Christmas Costume ($118.99 in XL, 16-18) splits the look into a long-sleeved peplum top with white long-hair trim and a zippered back, a long skirt with an elastic waist, and a mop hat. Two pieces means an easier fit if your top and bottom are different sizes. There's an XXL (20-24) too.
7. Kringle's Kompanion: the budget pick
At $36.99, the Women's Kringle's Kompanion is the easiest yes on this list. It's a red and white satin pullover dress with a hat and belt (shoes and stockings not included) in Medium (8-10), with a Large as well. Perfect for the office party, the school bake sale or a last-minute Christmas Eve surprise.
8. Hipster Ms. Claus: the modern twist
The Women's Hipster Ms. Claus Costume ($44.99) is a romper dress in durable polyester, one size fits adults up to size 12. It's the one for ugly-sweater parties and anywhere Mrs. Claus is allowed to have a sense of humor.
Finishing touches that make the character
A gray wig does more for a Mrs. Claus costume than any other accessory. The Mrs. Claus Wig ($58.99) is natural-color synthetic fiber with a wavy style and a curled, layered bun, fully washable and individually boxed. Prefer short hair? The Mrs. Claus Short 'N Sassy Wig is the same price. Add a Regal Red Mrs. Claus Mop Hat ($20.99) if your dress didn't include one, and the Women's Mrs. Claus White Cotton Apron ($23.99), about 23 inches long with lace trim and a handy pocket. For outdoor parades and light-looking walks, the Christmas Velvet Cape and Muff Set ($158.99) is a hooded burgundy velvet cape with long-hair plush trim and a satin-lined muff. Find the rest in Mrs. Claus accessories.
