Young Charlie from Don’t Starve Together
This article is focused on the main antagonist of Don’t Starve Together, Charlie, but in the most recent short that’s come out, Hide & Seek, where we see her as a child. If you would like to see the other article I’ve done for Charlie, please check it out here! If you would like to see her sister Winona’s child-aged matching article, please look here!
Her hair is similar to how she wears it as an adult, but with a little less volume, and she wears a small red bow, instead of her usual rose clip. Her dress is a red, prairie-style dress (it was a bit tricky to find a matching one, I would suggest trimming the sleeves to size and using the included dye to color balance it), and with it she wears a pair of black, small, heeled boots.
Jenny from Forrest Gump
Jenny is a character from the classic 1994 film Forrest Gump, and is played by Robin Wright. In this film, Jenny is the love interest of Forrest and we get to see her at many different stages throughout her life, starting at childhood when she first met him. Her costumes change along with her, and how she wants to show her personality at different stages.
In the phase covered here, these costumes are often called her “hippie” outfits. To dress like Jenny in this era, wear a fur lined faux suede coat. Another way is you could go all out with a white frock maxi dress and layer a long fringe brown vest over it and a brown wide belt at the waist. Add some buttons to one side of the vest and you have the perfect Jenny outfit for every day life or as a costume, maybe even with your significant other as Forrest Gump.

He wears several earrings, mostly around the shell of his ear, as well as a gold and blue dangling hourglass and gem on his left ear. His under outfit consists of a two-toned blue vest over a white button-up shirt that he wears with the collar flared up, and a giant light blue bowtie around it. Around his waist he wears a holster for his knives and the book, with an enormous bluey-white ribbon underneath for padding, and then just a simple pair of black pants with a pair of black and white spat boots. His gloves are very long to cover the markings on his hand, and the nails are extremely sharp. Over top of everything he wears a very oversized, billowing black coat with a blue lining on the inside.
