Pegasus and Winged Horse Costumes

With both the equine figure and the wings, a pegasus costume presents considerable logistical challenges. here are some examples of people who rose to them. :)

More examples will be found as I locate them. please feel free to send in links if you would like your own costume included.

Used in role-play and for convention-wear, fursuit represent the state of the art in costume design. they generally represent the animal anthropomorphically--with a human body by animal head, coat and extremities. for example:

• Peggy Pegasus (2009, pictured right)

• Pegasus Unicorn (2004)*--Costume for a band by the same name.
• New York Halloween (2010)--Hubba, hubba.
• The minimalist approach (undated)
• Birth of Pegasus (undated)--A very odd costume of pegasus rising from the slain body of Medusa.

• Pretty pegasus (undated)--This commercial costume is one of the more unusual I have seen referred to as a pegasus costume. perhaps 'My Little Pony' inspired? The butterfly wings don't really fit most people's ideas of a flying horse.

• Halloween (2006)
• Halloween (2008)--with false forelegs to allow the arms to be used to flap the wings!
• Pink Pegasus (2008)*
  

It is no simple thing to create a costume that produces the illusion of a rider on a pegasus without resorting to a comic/child's costume model. But here are a few interesting examples.

• Dallas Mardi Gras (2009)--See also: front view.
