A few thoughts on Ventriloquist Clothing

When outfitting a ventriloquist figure the clothing should in fact match the character. You certainly wouldn’t dress a bum in a pristine business suit or tux for that matter. A bum lives in the street and so the clothing should be kind of dirty and tattered.

Frank Marshall always clothed his figures in suits of the day. The two tone gabardine suits were readily available back in the 30’s to late 50’s and his figures were ” usually ” the boy style face which certainly fit the bill for the clothing.

I myself do like a figure in a more dressed outfit as compared to just a shirt and pants a sneakers. I scour the vintage shops looking for older style clothing to fill my bill.

Anyway I still go by the adage that the clothing makes the man or “figure”.
