We're going to help you choose the best Where's Wally or Wenda fancy dress costume, with our choice of top picks.
We all remember the original Where's Wally books don't we? Maybe you don't, but they were first launched in 1987, and in North America they are known as Where's Waldo? They were created by the children's author and illustrator Martin Handford.
Whether you're male or female, if you're stuck for an original or quirky 80s fancy dress, stag do or hen night costume idea, then we're going to show you the best options and accessories for dressing-up as the legendary Wally or his girlfriend Wenda. This is also a great idea for couples dress-up.
Best Where's Wally Costume for Men
My top choice is by Morph Costumes. This is the most complete and best value Where's Wally outfit, and includes the red and white striped top, matching bobble hat, blue trousers, round glasses and the cane. It comes in three sizes; medium, large and extra large. Nothing more is needed, and once purchased you're ready to party!
Cheapest Where's Wally or Wenda Costumes
For those of you on a tight budget (let's face it, many of us are these days!), this unisex red and white striped T-shirt with bobble hat and round glasses is the perfect choice. The kit is provided by Angie's Fashion, Manchester, through their Amazon storefront, and comes in four sizes, S, M, XL or XXL, but no large, unfortunately. The price is very reasonable indeed for what you receive, and it's a great choice if you're watching the pennies.
Where's Wenda? Instant Costume Kit (4 pcs)
This Wenda costume by Gizelle (based in Manchester), is terrific value and includes everything but the skirt. Included is the red and white striped T-shirt, matching striped socks, bobble hat and round, black geek glasses. Sizes available are S, M, L, XL and XXL. However, customer feedback suggests that the T-shirt runs small, so we suggest you order a size up.
Best Complete Wenda Costume for Women
There are actually several Wenda costumes we want to show you. This first option by Smiffys is a complete outfit, and includes the red and white striped top, blue skirt, matching striped tights, bobble hat and round black glasses. It comes in various adult ladies sizes from X-small 4 to X-Large 22, so there's something for everyone.
This Wenda fancy dress costume is also by Smiffys but is officially licensed and also includes a printed belt, giving it a better overall look. However, for some ridiculous reason the tights are not included, which is a great shame. This one is also available in a smaller choice of sizing, from 4 to 18. Nonethless, if you add these red and white striped tights, you will have a decent looking costume.
Where's Wenda? Mini Dress Costume
If you want to spice-up your Wenda look, then this mini dress costume will certainly do that! Included is an al-in-one dress with striped tank top and blue mini skirt (which are attached to form a dress), striped socks, bobble hat and geeky glasses. Sizes available are 4-6, 8-10 and 12-14 for adult women. This one would be a great option for a hen party.
