Carbon Costume the princess bride
Princess Buttercup
Princess Buttercup is the heroine of both the book and the movie, The Princess Bride. In the beginning, she has a budding romance with the farm boy, Westley. But then Prince Humperdinck whisks her away to become his bride. Buttercup is headstrong and reluctant, as she is still in love with Westley. At the same time, she is often frightened and impressionable, and her outspoken personality gets her into trouble. Under the guise of Dread Pirate Roberts, he rescues her, motivated by their love. Robin Wright plays her in the movie adaptation.
Inigo Montoya
In The Princess Bride, Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) is a Spanish swordfighter who seeks revenge on Count Rugen for the murder of his father, as he will so often remind you: “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!”
Dread Pirate Roberts
In The Princess Bride, Dread Pirate Roberts (Cary Elwes) is a pirate with a mythical reputation who is feared across the seven seas for his swordfighting skills. It’s revealed that Dread Pirate Roberts is actually a succession of individuals who pass on the name, with farm boy Westley as the latest.
Andre the Giant
Most people remember Andre the Giant for his role in The Princess Bride. For wrestling fans he is a major part of WWF history. A magnificent presence on his own, Andre didn’t need a flashy costume to stand out in the ring. While you may not be able to pull off the height, you can replicate his look with a black singlet, though you should cut one strap off if you want to be authentic.
