Disney has recently released a teaser trailer for the upcoming Toy Story 3 movie. In this new installment of the Toy Story franchise, we get to see how Bo Peep looks like now! The sweet shepherdess looks even more charming as she matured into a beautiful woman. She wears a pink and white Victorian dress with a matching bonnet hat. The movie will be released in theaters on June 18, 2010.
I know that cosplayers are already thinking about making their own Bo Peep costume. Since Toy Story 3 is a Disney film, it is likely that an official costume will be released soon. However, if you cannot wait for it and you have enough sewing skills, you can make your own costume! It won’t be difficult since it only consists of 2 pieces – the dress and the bonnet hat. To make the costume look close to the original, I recommend using pink linen fabric with white lace trim. You can wear it with a white petticoat and shoes or boots under it. If you happen to have Bo Peep’s sheep staff toy prop, bring that along too!
Nowadays, the cosplay costumes have become a kind of fashion trend. Among all the cosplay costume series, the bo peep costume has become one of the most favored one.
The bo peep costume is a very lovely and adorable outfit. As we know, in our childhood, we were all told many stories of bo peep and her sheeps. And the character of bo peep is not a princess in traditional sense, but a shepherd girl with pure and kind heart. Also she loves her sheeps very much as her family members and always takes good care of them. Besides, she wears a pink dress with white frills and a white petticoat. She also wears green stockings and red shoes. And she always wears a bonnet on her head. All these features make her appear like an adorable little girl living in the fairy tale world.
Nowadays, except for Halloween season, you can see many girls wearing this costume with their friends on any occasion to express their pure heartedness. This is indeed very lovely. And if you have some lovely friends or sisters, I am sure that you will love to take group photos with them together in this costume!
Well, this is one cosplay costume that I think has been getting a lot of attention ever since it was featured in Toy Story 3. Yes, we are talking about Bo Peep costumes. She is the love interest of Sheriff Woody from the Toy Story series.
So, why do I think that Bo Peep costumes are getting a lot of attention? Well, let me just say that there are a number of reasons why I think so. But before that, let me ask you some questions first.
1.) Do you still remember Toy Story 3? If not, then you should know that it was one of the best films of 2010 and took home several awards as well last year.
2.) Are you aware that another installment to the Toy Story franchise is already in development? And yes, we can expect this to be in theatres by 2015 or 2016 (I hope).
3.) Do you know any cosplayer who has dressed up as either Bo Peep or even Sherrif Woody? If not, then I am pretty sure that there will come a time when someone will dress up as them for various cosplay events.
Bo Peep is a character from the Toy Story franchise and she is a shepherdess who is Woody’s love interest. The name Bo Peep is derived from the nursery rhyme Little Bo-Peep. She is very kind and motherly and she has a very sweet personality, but she can also get rather annoyed at times.
In Toy Story 2, Bo Peep was sold at a yard sale before Andy’s family moved to their new house. She was replaced by Jessie in the second sequel, Toy Story 3.
At the end of Toy Story 3, it is implied that Bo Peep had been reunited with her sheep (which are seen watching the toys being loaded into the attic) after being sold and we got to see more of her in the short film Hawaiian Vacation. In this short film, she was shown to be much more feisty than before as well as not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
Bo Peep Costume: Dress
For your Bo Peep costume, you will need a dress that is blue on top with white lining on the sleeves and bottom. The sleeves need to frill at the end and there should be some white buttons sewn on in two rows above where the white lining begins for decoration.

Toy Story
Bo Peep first appears in Toy Story as one of Andy’s toys. She is a porcelain figurine whose head, arms, and torso are made from a pink teacup with white hearts around it, and her lower body is made from a white saucer with blue flowers around it. She wears a lavender bonnet and matching dress, which are permanently attached to her body. In addition to having removable plastic shepherd’s crook and skirt, she also has moving eyes that look right and left when moved around (similar to Mrs. Potato Head). Her voice consists mainly of soft sighs and whimpers, though during an encounter with Sid Phillips she yells “Andy!” while trying to protect Woody from being blown up by Sid. During this scene, she is shown to have exceptional strength, as she picks up Woody with one hand without any apparent effort, despite only being four inches tall. As seen in Toy Story, Bo Peep’s boyfriend (
