Jinkies! Sound familiar? If you’re a Scooby Doo junkie like me, you’ll know that it was Velma Dinkley’s catchphrase for when she had uncovered an important clue or had a revelation about a mystery case.
As the youngest and smartest member of the “Mystery Inc” gang, this teenage crime fighter is skilled in many areas such as using high tech equipment, reading foreign languages, cracking codes, and more. Plus, if her brains aren’t enough, this young lady is instantly recognizable by her signature Velma costume.
A Velma costume is ready to accommodate aspiring mystery-solvers of all ages. Here’s an Adult Velma Costume as well as a Child Velma Costume:
Adult Velma Costume
(One size Adult Standard (up to size 8-12))
Remember to bring along some Scooby snacks! Although a Velma Costume is very plain, it is also Very distinct and easily stands out at any party. There’s nothing worse than going to a dressup party and someone asks you “so what are you supposed to be”. What you’d prefer to hear is “Oh my God! Velma! That’ SO Great!”.
This officially licensed Scooby-Doo™ costume includes a Velma wig (wig is sized to be one size fits all), fake black rim glasses (the style of glasses is closer to what Velma actually wears, and differs from what is shown in the image), orange shirt, and a skirt. You’ll also need a pair of knee high orange socks and a pair of flashy black shoes to finish off the classic Velma look.
I also recommend purchasing a wig cap to hold in your own hair to help the wig fit.
It’s a running joke that Velma can’t keep her glasses on her face and is always misplacing them – and then she can never find them because she is nearly blind! So play the part and drop your glasses, and get down on all fours looking for them. You’re sure to get everyone’s attention. Then make a big deal when you actually find them 
Have friends dress up as the rest of the dynamic “Mystery Inc” gang to complement your Velma costume. There’s the leader of the gang, Fred, the beautiful starlet, Daphne, the slacker, Shaggy, and the “cowardly canine” himself, Scooby Doo.
Child Velma Costume
(Available in Small, Medium and Large sizes. Approximate neck measurements for each size: Small – 17″, Medium – 18″, and Large – 19″)
The brainy Velma Dace Dinkley! “My glasses! I can’t see without my glasses!”
This officially licensed Scooby-Doo™ Velma Costume includes a brown bob wig, fake glasses, orange shirt, and skirt. Accessorize this outfit with knee high socks and a pair of children’s black shoes. I also recommend purchasing a wig cap to hold in your own hair to help the wig fit.
I bet you didn’t know that Velma’s original character was name Linda, named after Linda Cardellini, who played the character in the three Scooby Doo live action films. I bet you also didn’t know that Shaggy was also Velma’s brother, prior to the release of the official Scooby-Doo cartoon.
