bonnie and clyde History & Costumes

In the post-Depression era of the 1930s, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were the original gangsters. The couple cut a swath across the country, robbing banks and loading up on cash to stash away for a rainy day before they met their untimely end in a hail of bullets.

A great idea if you're going as a costumed couple for Halloween, Bonnie and Clyde are always a fun choice. The costumes themselves are sold separately, however each kit for Bonnie and for Clyde come with costumes that compliment a complete look for you both as a couple.

Bonnie's costume kit is equipped with a black-with-white-pinstripes knee-length pencil skirt and matching, double-breasted jacket. To top it all off is Bonnie's trademark beret, also in a matching pinstriped fabric. Add your own pair of high heels, seamed stockings, and a toy mini-pistol and you're on your way to being more than just Clyde's arm-candy!

The costume set for Clyde is also made of a black-with-white-pinstripes fabric and includes pants and a matching double-breasted jacket. Add your own shirt, tie, and even a matching fedora to become a well-dressed gangster!
