I loved portraying Cruella Deville. She was a super fun and feisty character. I had people asking to take pictures with me all night. I watched the 101 Dalmatians cartoon lots of times to get Cruella’s voice and mannerisms down. I knew the white fur coat would be the hardest to find but I was lucky because I borrowed the beautiful white faux fur coat from my mother-in-law.
I had the black dress, purse, cig holder, nylons and shoes. All I bought was the wig, earrings and gloves. I spent about $15. I cut out black construction paper for the black spots on the purse. I bought two sets of earrings from a second hand store so I could use one of the earrings for Cruella’s ring. I used my own makeup for the Cruella face. This Cruella Deville Costume took a couple of days to perfect but I think I nailed her look!
This is the best Cruella costume. Love the facial expressions, too. :)
