When looking for DIY costume inspiration from movies, 101 Dalmatians costumes are an iconic choice. Not only are the spotted pups adorable, but for a terrifyingly evil costume, Cruella De Vil is a true winner.

Have fun looking through this section and creating your own good or evil 101 Dalmatians costume.
