Were you a fan of the show Beverly Hillbillies? Did you grow up watching Elly May Clampett take care of her critters? Then, this costume is perfect for you.
Steps
- Put on a pair of tighter fitting jeans. Dark blue would be best, and snug at the waist. It is also perfect if they are a little highwaist.
- Put on a long-sleeved button up shirt and tuck it into your jeans. It is best if the shirt is snug (not too loose) and has some sort of strip or check pattern.
- Lace a piece of rope through the belt loop holes on your jeans and tie it in a knot in the front. Leave the ends loose and frayed.
- Pull the back of your hair into two low pigtails that drape over your shoulders and tie with pink ribbons. Leave the top part of your hair loose and curl it into ringlets. Hair spray and tease until you have a top poof. You may even curl your pigtails into large ringlets.
- If you hair isn't long enough, or blonde, you can look into a wig or ponytail hair extensions.

- It is not necessary, but you can wear a cowboy hat pinned toward the back of your head. You don't want to cover up that poof you worked so hard on!
- Put on a pair of brown loafers or moccasin style shoes without socks.
- Even though Elly May was a country girl, she was still a beauty. Make sure to fill in your eyebrows and even apply fake eyelashes.
- You should now look like Elly May! Make any adjustments to the costume and go have fun!
Tips
- Put some a hay in your hair for a good effect. This may be a little uncomfortable for your head, it helps if you wear a wig.
- Try an' have a southern accent.
