Leg Lamp (A Christmas Story) Costume for Halloween
How to make A Leg Lamp costume
| # | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Black Top | While the Leg Lamp didn’t have an upper body, you do. So wear a nice black top to compensate. |
| 2 | Yellow Skirt | The Leg Lamp had a yellow lamp head so a yellow skirt is a must! |
| 3 | Black Fishnet Tights | Wear black fishnet heels because the Leg Lamp’s body wore one as well. |
| 4 | Black Heels | Show off your long legs with a pair of amazing black heels. |
| 5 | Black Fringe Tassel Trim | The Leg Lamp had a nice, homey black fringe trim. You can use fabric glue to put a tassel trim on your skirt. |
| 6 | Costume Set | If you don’t want to DIY, you can also buy this costume set instead. |
The Leg Lamp is a well-loved prop showcased in an equally well-loved holiday film. But for most of today’s fans, you wouldn’t have even guessed how little fanfare A Christmas Story got when it was released in the 1980s.
Fortunately, people seemed to fall in love with it slowly and the Leg Lamp became fully immortalized in pop culture.
In fact, it has become a really popular costume choice. Not only is it witty, but going as a leg lamp can be a really alluring outfit as well.
All you need to wear is either a gold dress or gold skirt with a black fringe on the bottom, black fishnet stockings, and black heels. Here’s everything you need to look like a Leg Lamp.
About the Leg Lamp
The Leg Lamp was made popular by the 1983 film, A Christmas Story. This well-loved lamp was designed by Production Designer, Reuben Freed for the movie, and he made three original ones. Unfortunately, all three were broken during filming.
