Plus Size Laa-Laa Teletubbies Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

One of the most iconic elements of a Teletubby costume is the antennae. These long, fluffy appendages are a key part of each Teletubby’s appearance, and they are a crucial component of any Teletubby costume. To add antennae to your outfit, you can wear a headband with a pair of antennae attached to it. This is a simple and easy way to incorporate this key element into your costume, and it allows you to easily adjust the position and angle of your antennae. Teletubbies co-creator Andy Davenport’s love of astronauts and the Moon landings inspired the four characters.

If you want to add a bit of extra bulk to your Teletubby costume, consider using a belly stuffer. A belly stuffer is a small cushion or pad that is worn under your shirt to give the appearance of a larger stomach or belly. This can be a fun and easy way to add some extra dimension to your Teletubby costume, particularly if you’re portraying one of the Teletubbies with a rounder, plumper appearance, like Tinky Winky or Po. The cast were told to develop their characters’ unique personalities and catchphrases. They had to learn how to dance in 8ft suits, take clown and acrobatics workshops, and master puppetry skills to operate the mouths and eyes. Tinky Winky is the oldest and always gets to go first. He can have trouble making decisions because he's so thoughtful. Posing as Tinky Winky is easy. Use his signature move by creating a "t" with your arms then a "w" with your elbows bent. He often carries a red purse and loves big hugs!British-Chinese Pui Fan Lee brought her heritage to the role of the smallest, red Teletubby and the character often spoke in Cantonese.

She says: “I don’t think I’ve ever had a job that was so much fun. It changed my life and for six years, we were a real family. I’ll always be Laa-Laa. I still have friends who call me that and I’m ‘Auntie Laa’ to my nieces and nephews.” Laa-laa is always ready to perform, singing and dancing wherever she goes. Twirling around on one toe is a great way to celebrate this Teletubby's signature move. You can accessorize your Laa-laa costume with a big orange ball as that's her favorite thing. We'll give you three guesses as to what else she loves. That's right. Big hugs!For the audition, she dressed as a bistro table and did a skit about its love for a chair, but was blasé about the job until she met Anne Wood, founder of production company Ragdoll.
