How to make a gorilla Costume

The Gorilla Costume is a resemblance to a gorilla or another large primate. The costume is very popular for Halloween and masquerade events. It is also utilized in TV and film as a representation of a real fictional gorilla. Costumes are used to inspire fear, awe and humour (as in King Kong).


Gorilla costumes are also a popular choice for those who dress up to ridicule their adversaries or to mock their own shortcomings. For example the character Janos from The Muppet Show often wore a gorilla suit to enact funny situations, such as attempting to make use of a gorilla detection device in his lab or trying to take an IQ test. In his costume as a gorilla Dr. Bunsen honeydew from The Muppets emulated the mannerisms of the chimpanzee.


This Halloween, a costume for a gorilla can bring plenty of fun. You can transform into the ruler or queen of the jungle with a couple of pieces of fabric and some basic sewing techniques. Choose a pattern of pants that is a size larger than the person wearing it. Draw the pattern onto the black fur, and then pin it onto the wrong side of the fabric. You should leave a large margin on all sides when cutting around the design. Use the extra fabric to make a pair black gorilla pants which will extend past the hips.


For the gorilla's chest as well as belly cut a large section of smooth dark gray. Utilize a permanent marker draw the appearance of pectoral muscles that are strong as well as abdominal muscles in the front of the gorilla costume piece. Sew this to the back of the black fur cut-out to form the costume top. If you want, brush the fur nap on the costume fabric with your fingers to soften the look.
