Recreate her iconic look is rather simple. All you will need are Polka Dot Dress, I Love Lucy Wig, Black Ballet Flats, and Vintage Bow.

I Love Lucy Cosplay Costume

Lucy dresses in a way that mirrors the fashions of the times. Because of its simple nature, most of the ensemble pieces are ones you may already have at home. 

This makes an I Love Lucy costume popular for lovers of retro style. It begins with a polka dot black and white dress, which she often wears.

Capture the vintage styles of the times by choosing a dress with a large white collar. Over the top of the dress, you can tie a waist apron around your middle to mimic what she is usually seen wearing around the house. 

Her short red hair is usually tied back using a ribbon. You can use a standard ribbon or opt for one that is already tied around a hair tie. 

Having a partner cosplay with you can make the costume even more memorable. Dress them up as her husband, Ricky Ricardo, to turn this into an iconic couple's costume.
