Group Costume Ideas
Dexter’s Laboratory Theme
Dexter: White lab coat, black gloves, big round glasses, and a serious “genius” vibe.
Dee Dee: Pink dress, blonde ponytail, ballet flats, and chaotic energy.
Dad: Blue outfit, red hair, and a clueless, friendly smile.

Cartoon Moms Theme
Dexter’s Mom (Dexter’s Laboratory)
Wilma Flintstone: White dress, stone-age necklace, and classic updo.
Linda Belcher (Bob’s Burgers): Red glasses, red top, and supportive mom energy.
Marge Simpson: Green dress, tall blue hair, and pearls.
Lois Griffin: Green blouse, khaki pants, and a sharp one-liner expression.
Hair & Makeup
Hair: Bright red/auburn hair with a smooth, slightly curled look, styled back into a neat bun/roll. A wig is easiest for that clean cartoon shape.
Makeup: Keep it simple and “housewife polished.” Long lashes, a touch of blush, and lipstick (red or rosy pink) sells the character instantly.
Personality & Pose
Dexter’s Mom is upbeat, tidy, and always in “clean mode.” She’s sweet, but she moves like someone who just spotted a speck of dust.
Pose: Hands together in front while wearing rubber gloves, or one hand lifted like you’re about to wipe a surface.
Expression: Bright smile, wide eyes, calm confidence.
Attitude: Cheerful, neat, slightly over-friendly and definitely a germ-fighter.
