The concept encompasses attire that allows individuals to embody characters from L. Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” during the annual Halloween celebration. This includes representations of iconic figures such as Dorothy Gale, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch of the West, and the Good Witch of the North, often replicated through manufactured outfits or homemade designs.
Such themed attire provides an opportunity for imaginative expression and participation in popular culture. Its prevalence reflects the enduring appeal of the classic story and the desire to connect with familiar characters and narratives. Historically, adaptations of the story for stage and screen have amplified the visibility and accessibility of these character representations, contributing to their sustained popularity as options for seasonal dress-up.
