Even though Biblical Costumes may be difficult to conceptualize, ready made costumes can make getting that special “historic” look possible by emulating wardrobe costumes developed in some of the great epic movies of our time. One of the best examples of costume biblical pageantry is most probably Cecil B. DeMille’s movie, “The 10 Commandments”. Remember the spectacular costume design that the movie ward rober gave Moses?

Many of us remember Moses as an older man on top of a rock, rod extended to the heavens with his Hebrew robe, white hair, beard and classic leather sandals. When you associate the Moses and the 10 Commandments Costume with a particular movie that has broad appeal, you can imagine the costume and add or delete what are the essentials to make the costume “come alive.”

BuyCostumes.com has a great line of biblical costumes that can be used for most any occasion like, Halloween or a church Christmas play.

For example, if you need to develop a character that looks like “Joseph”, think of a shepherd who is younger in age who has a robe and a tunic, cinched at the waste line with a piece of cloth.

The Joseph Costume comes with a scarf headpiece on the head, the tunic and robe and belt. Remember, nomads and villagers during biblical times tended to have very few colors in their clothing so there was not a lot of variances in the cloaks and tunics of the men.

However, for your purposes, color will bring a festive nature to the costume if used for an audience or Halloween.

Do you want to look like the historic ruler and king of all the lands? Perhaps a white tunic with a gold bordered robe will fit the bill for your next Halloween party or church play.

 

The Biblical King Adult Costume we recommend comes with a royal purple overcoat, a gold crown (of course) and a white robe. Fashion or purchase a beard and wig.

Pull out a pair of flip-flops or leather sandals and you will be ready to direct everyone at your command.

The Roman adult sandals, Biblical (brown) wig and beard can be purchased separately to make your costume complete. You can also purchase many of the accessories if you do not already have them in your closets.

There are so many different types of biblical characters in the Bible, including animals (sheep, cow, whale), gladiators, Pharaoh, even an olive tree. Be creative, be fun! Go online and find some interesting images of the character(s) you are trying to emulate. It is not as hard as you think!
