Carbon Costume

Mrs. Doyle (portrayed by Pauline McLynn) is the dowdy housekeeper from the comedy series Father Ted.  She works for the titular Father Ted Crilly, Father Jack Hackett, and Father Dougal McGuire.  Mrs. Doyle has messy hair and wears modest clothing.  To create your costume, you’ll need dark pantyhose, oxford shoes, and a brown midi-length skirt.  Pair this with a floral blouse that includes a tie feature at the collar.  Mrs. Doyle also wears smocks over her clothes as part of her houskeeping attire, so choose one in a neutral color and complete your costume with a cozy oversized cardigan.
