A good Easter Bunny costume for an adult is a full mascot suit: a plush jumpsuit, a detachable head, and mittens, built to stay on for the length of an egg hunt. We make two, a $65.95 dungarees version for longer wear and a padded deluxe version for short appearances, plus a chick two-piece, a rabbit jumpsuit, and a lamb costume for the littlest pageant role.
The right pick depends on the event, not just the animal. Easter Sunday 2027 falls on March 28, earlier than most people expect, so egg-hunt and pageant planning starts sooner too. A two-hour egg hunt asks more of a suit than a five-minute turn in the school play, and Easter Sunday photos do not need a mascot head at all.

A few weeks out: picking the kids costumes
Kids costumes get decided first because sizes need checking before the school notice goes home. Our Kids Baby Chick Costume ($25.95) is a two-piece: a yellow hooded tunic with a chick-face hood and orange-and-yellow striped pants, sized for ages 1 to 2 and 3 to 4. Our Little Rabbit Kids costume is a plush hooded top with bunny ears over a blue tutu-style skirt, with matching gingham leggings and booties, across three sizes for ages 4 to 12, though the product photo shows it on a much younger child than that range, so check the size guide against your child's height rather than the picture.
Both are hand wash only in cool water, air dried flat, never in a machine. The chick tunic and pants also earn their keep at any animal-themed dress-up day, not just this one.
The church play or school pageant
A church play or spring pageant needs the littlest role covered too, and that is usually a lamb. Our Little Lamb Costume ($30.95) is a complete set for exactly that: a plush top, tutu-style skirt, hood with gingham ears, leggings, and booties, roomy enough for a toddler who still needs to crawl or wander off mid-scene. It runs four sizes, 6 months to 6 years.
More Americans search online for "church" in the week of Easter than at any other time of year (Pew Research Center), the exact week a pageant costume needs to already be sorted.
The egg hunt: adult bunny suits
Somebody has to be the Easter Bunny at the egg hunt, and the honest answer for "what should the adult wear" is a full mascot suit, not ears and a onesie. Our Mens Easter Bunny Costume With Dungarees ($65.95) is the one we make for that job: a plush bunny suit with a detachable head, gingham shirt, and green bowtie over dungaree-style overalls, cut so you can walk and bend for the length of a whole hunt. Sizes L and XL.
The detachable head means you can step away and cool off between egg-hunt rounds without peeling off the whole suit, and the attached mittens push back off the hands when you need to actually pick up an egg or hand one over. Hand wash the suit and mittens in cool water and air dry; the head takes a damp cloth instead of a soak.
The White House Easter Egg Roll first took place in 1878 (White House Historical Association), and the basic idea has not moved on much: a lawn full of eggs and someone dressed as the Easter Bunny to lead the way.
Easter Sunday: photos without the mascot head
Easter Sunday photos are a different job: you want to look the part with your face visible, not disappear inside a mascot head. Our black-and-red rabbit character dress ($30.95) answers that: a storybook-style dress with a printed clock detail, white lace gloves, a top hat headband, and a red bow necktie, in sizes S (US 4 to 6), M (US 8 to 10), and L (US 12 to 14). That is a character dress-up look rather than a plush bunny suit, which is the point on a day built around family photos and brunch.
Easter spending hit a record $24.9 billion in 2026, with 80% of US consumers celebrating at an average $195.59 per person, and 36% planning an egg hunt against 43% attending church (National Retail Federation, 2026 survey). Egg hunts and church services are near-equal reasons to have a costume ready by then.
Deluxe suit or dungarees suit: what "deluxe" actually buys you
"Deluxe" on a bunny mascot costume means more built-in shape, not just a higher price. Our Men's Deluxe Easter Bunny Costume is a padded jumpsuit with built-in structure under the plush, a separate bunny head with expressive facial detailing and long bendable ears, an attached vest panel, and integrated feet, in sizes L and XL. The padding is what gives it the fuller, classic mascot silhouette, and that shape earns its money on a short appearance: a store opening, a photo booth, a five-minute entrance.
The long bendable ears and the attached vest panel are what read as "classic Easter Bunny" from a few feet back, which is about where a phone camera sits in a photo line.
| Suit | Best for | What's included | Sizes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's Deluxe Easter Bunny | Short appearances, photo ops, a classic full mascot silhouette | Padded jumpsuit with attached vest, detachable head, mittens, integrated feet | L, XL |
| Mens Dungarees Bunny | The egg hunt, longer wear, easier movement | Plush suit with attached mittens and feet, detachable head, gingham shirt and bowtie overalls | L, XL |
| Black-and-Red Rabbit Dress | Easter Sunday photos, face visible | Dress, white lace gloves, top hat headband, red bow necktie | S (4-6), M (8-10), L (12-14) |
Staying comfortable in a bunny suit for hours
A full mascot suit gets hot fast. Research on mascot performers found core body temperature climbed to 100.4°F (38.0°C) in about 35 minutes in a hot, humid environment without any cooling (Wang et al., Energy and Buildings, 2019). Build breaks into the plan. On the dungarees suit and the deluxe suit alike, the head lifts off on its own, so a breather between egg-hunt rounds costs you thirty seconds and some hat hair rather than the whole costume.
Sizes and care
The six costumes here do not share a size chart. Both adult bunny suits come in L and XL only; the black-and-red rabbit dress runs S to L on US dress sizing 4 to 12. The kids pieces go by age: two sizes across ages 1 to 4 for the chick costume, three across 4 to 12 for Little Rabbit Kids, four across 6 months to 6 years for the lamb costume. Whichever one you land on, its own chart beats the size you usually wear.
None of the six goes anywhere near a washing machine. Hand wash in cool water, then dry flat. The mascot heads are the exception, and they take a damp cloth rather than a soak. Store the plush pieces flat or loosely folded, or the ears turn up next spring with a bend in them nobody asked for.
Bunnies are not compulsory. Our best-selling Easter-adjacent costume since April 2026 has been the Giant Chicken Inflatable Costume, which turns up to the same yard full of eggs with feathers instead of fur.
Everything else we make for the season is in Easter costumes for men, women, and kids. If Easter is one date on a longer run of them, our St Patrick's Day costume and Oktoberfest outfit guides work the same way, occasion first.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good Easter costume for an adult?
A full Easter Bunny mascot suit: a plush jumpsuit, a detachable head, and mittens, built to be worn for a few hours at an egg hunt or a school event. Our Mens Easter Bunny Costume With Dungarees ($65.95) is built for longer wear at an egg hunt, in sizes L and XL.
What does an Easter Bunny mascot costume include?
Our two adult bunny suits both include a plush jumpsuit, a detachable head, and attached mittens and feet; the dungarees version adds a gingham shirt and green bowtie over the suit, and the deluxe version adds built-in padding and an attached vest panel for a fuller mascot shape. Both come in sizes L and XL only.
How do you stay comfortable in a bunny mascot suit for hours?
Take breaks and take the head off between them. Research on mascot performers found body temperature climbing fast inside a full suit without cooling breaks, reaching 100.4°F (38.0°C) in about 35 minutes in hot, humid conditions. Both our adult bunny suits have a detachable head for exactly this, so you can cool off between egg-hunt rounds rather than pushing through the whole event in one go.
What should kids wear for an Easter church play?
For the youngest role, a complete lamb set. Our Little Lamb Costume ($30.95) includes a plush top, tutu-style skirt, hood with gingham ears, leggings, and booties, in a roomy fit across four sizes from 6 months to 6 years.
Are Easter Bunny costumes true to size?
Check the size guide on the product you are ordering, because sizing varies by piece here: the adult bunny suits run L and XL only, the black-and-red rabbit dress runs US dress sizes 4 to 12, and the kids pieces size by age rather than by standard clothing sizes. Every costume we make is measured across 30+ points, a fact about construction, not a promise that an XL bunny suit clears your shoulders; the size chart has the last word.
Can you wash an Easter Bunny costume?
Hand wash only, in cool water, dried flat, never in a machine. The detachable head gets a damp-cloth spot clean instead of a wash. That is the same routine across all six costumes above, adult suits and kids pieces alike.
