designer Janie Bryant Check out Pennywise's (Bill Skarsgård) full costume in the It movie adaptation - plus insight from costume designer Janie Bryant (Mad Men).

Pennywise's Clown Outfit Pennywise wears a light grey Victorian-esque blouse with puff sleeves and more ruffles than an '80s prom dress. Honestly, the more ruffles the better. Technically, it's described as silver in the book, but to keep things simple, we can just go with white or a similarly light color.

Supplies Needed to DIY a Pennywise Wig

• “Bald Old man” wig– We got ours from Spirit, but you can also get a similar one on Amazon.
• Temporary red spray on hair color– The one and only thing I would have changed, is adding some orange to the red, but the red did the trick.
• Spray Adhesive.
• Spray gel.
• Hairspray.

What to wear: The key to Pennywise's outfit is keeping things relatively monochromatic (in this case, either silver or white). Pair silver or white leggings with a ruffled, long-sleeved shirt or dress (you can always spray paint it silver), and glue three red pom-poms down the front.

In the novel, It's origins are nebulous. He took the form of a clown most frequently, Mr. Bob Gray or Pennywise, but his true form is an ancient eldritch entity from another universe who landed in the town that would become Derry by way of an asteroid and first awoke in 1715.

Wear white, black, or red boots, and glue a red pom-pom to the toe of each. Finish it off with a pair of white or silver gloves, white face paint, a red wig, and red lipstick that you draw in two lines all the way up through your eyebrows.

You will need at least three basic colors to create the Pennywise clown face. Black, Red and White. If you want your makeup to last all day and night we recommend using theatrical cream or grease based makeup and setting it with powder, or using an alcohol based paint like Proaiir Hybrid liquids or Solids.

Steps:

1. Create Pennywise's Hair. Cut out the rubber skin on the orange hair wig and glue it to the white clown wig-skin.
2. Make your Pennywise Clown Collar With Coffee Filters.
3. Dye your peasant top and leggings with your RIT fabric dye.
4. Add ruffles to the bottom of your leggings and shirt.
5. Applying the final details.

The character is an ancient, trans-dimensional evil entity who preys upon the children (and sometimes adults) of Derry, Maine, roughly every 27 years, using a variety of powers that include the ability to shapeshift, manipulate reality, and go unnoticed by adults.

The story follows the experiences of seven children as they are terrorized by an evil entity that exploits the fears of its victims to disguise itself while hunting its prey. "It" primarily appears in the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown to attract its preferred prey of young children.

First take a white face paint and use a sponge to apply a very thin layer all over the face. Next use a brush to apply some black paint over the eyelid. And then blend this out using another. Sponge.

And start blocking. In clay shapes. And seeing what works and what doesn't work and then we go from the sculpture to the mold. And we create our rubber pieces that believe seamlessly onto the actor.

I also like to keep some blood with me. So that you can put the blood on the inner rim of your lip. And it really just makes it look. So much creepier.

beginning with very quick rough sketches the designer can get a basic idea for how the show will look put together and if the rules of the world are being maintained. The Costume designer will then go into more detailed sketches and will figure out the specific costumes and colours for the character.

No, Stephen King's It is not based on a true story. King had the idea for It when looking at an old wooden walking bridge in 1978 near his home in Boulder, Colorado.
