Carbon Costume the flintstones
Betty Rubble from The Flintstones
Betty Rubble stole the hearts of millions when she hit the air with the 1960 premier of The Flintstones. Her husband Barney and son Bamm-Bamm keep her busy most of the time. But when she gets a minute to herself you can probably find her with her best friend Wilma Flintstone.
Betty’s look is pretty iconic. Her dress is easily found as a ready-made costume that usually comes with a blue bow, though some dress tape might be handy for keeping the dress in the right spot. Once you have her dress all you’ll need is a black wig and a gorgeous plum lipstick to finish off her look.
If you plan on wearing the costume out, shoe can get tricky. Many people opt for black pumps given Betty is a bit of a prehistoric pinup. But there are other options such as skin-tone flats or “invisible shoes” like those in this tutorial.
Wilma Flintstone
In The Flintstones, Wilma Flintstone is the red-headed wife of Fred Flintstone. Compared to her counterpart, she is strong-willed and level-headed. For this costume, cut a jagged serrated hem on the white dress for the best accuracy.
Barney Rubble
Barney is Fred’s neighbor and best friend in The Flintstones. He is much sillier and more easygoing than Fred, and is often rewarded for his calm demeanor. His serendipity often annoys Fred.
Fred Flintstone
Fred Flintstone lives in the town of Bedrock with his wife Wilma and daughter Pebbles. Although short-tempered and prone to acting immaturely, Fred is a loving caveman at heart and cares deeply for his family and friends.
