Carbon Costume

Brittany Miller (voiced by Janice Karman) is a supporting character in the cartoon series Alvin and the Chipmunks.  She is the sister of Jeannette and Eleanor and the lead singer of their group The Chipettes.  Brittany is sassy and can come across as a little entitled, but she shows care for her sisters and Alvin.  To recreate Brittany’s 80s look, you’ll want to start with light purple leggins and a hot pink leotard.  Layer a ruffled skirt and a capelet over the leotard (you may want to turn the capelet backward so the ruffles are more visible in front).  Then, tie a pink scarf around your neck into an oversized bow and add light purple shoes and yellow leg warmers.  If you don’t want to style your own hair, choose a wig with bangs and a half-up style.g

To dress like Gus, wear a red flannel under an orange puffer vest. Over that wear a nylon belt around the waist and attach a woven pouch to it on one side. Pair with blue jeans that you can distress with things like brown paint and sand paper or scissors to break it down.

Over the jeans wear a rope belt, and additionally you can tie yellow embroidery floss around it to be even more accurate. Finally, wear black boots and of course deer antlers.

Allan sometimes exaggerates certain words with a nasally inflection.
