Moreover, the Banana costume remains a great choice for infants and toddlers as this is an ensemble that could give enough warmth for their whole body. Most banana costumes for babies cover their entire body with holes only for their arms and face. On the other hand, it may be hard to look for the perfect size the suits your baby. You may opt to make his or her own customized costume. Especially if you have some knack for sewing, you can take advantage of this opportunity to make his or her first costume created with much more thought and dedication.

You will need the following materials: a soft yellow, green or red fabric, white body suit or onesie with hood with short sleeves, zipper or Velcro, pattern paper and sketching material, black ribbons or thick strings or yarn, fabric glue and some sewing materials. If you have a sewing machine, use that to hasten the pace of finishing the banana costume.

First, you have to make a pattern. Get the bodysuit of your baby and outline at least 4 inches as allowance around it. Trace the pattern into the fabric material. Make two of these. On the both cut fabric pieces, draw thin lines to resemble the pattern of a banana. Glue in the black strings into these fabric pieces. On one fabric piece, cut where you want to place the zipper or Velcro, which would later serve as the opening of the costume. Sew the zipper or Velcro into that area. Before putting the two pieces together, remember to designate holes for your baby’s legs and arms.

Use the legs and arms of the bodysuit. One final thing you need to do before sewing these pieces together is to cut the upper edge of the fabric pieces to resemble banana peelings. Around 3 to 4 cuts would be fine. After that, put the pieces together. When it is all done, dress up your baby with the white bodysuit or hoodie onesie. His head would serve as the fruit itself. Since his arms would be exposed, make him or her wear long socks to serve as his or her gloves. You can also partner a yellow jacket for added protection and warmth.

For the adults, the costume has holes for their legs so as they can walk with ease. This can then be a great option for the whole family. From you, your partner to your kids, you can look like a fresh bunch of bananas. As for the couples, the famous twin bananas in their night pajamas would be another twist for the banana costume. For groups, you can decide among yourselves who gets to be the bunch of bananas and the gorillas. You and your friends will have so much fun when you get to still role-play who is the predator, that is the gorilla, and who is the prey, that is the banana.
