For the Halloween pageant in Harper Lee's book "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout Finch has to be a ham. It is maybe the best literary costume ever.

"Mrs. Crenshaw took some chicken wire and bent it into the shape of a cured ham."
This costume designer figured out a more flattering version of the suit.

Designer Paula Prior made a lighter version out of foam, bendable tube, and cotton.
Nailed it.
This guy found some accessories.

"Pretty sweet, right? Around the holidays I string christmas lights around it to make it our Christmas Ham."
No better place to ham it up than in a ham costume.
Obviously, there is a dog version too.
So make yourself Scout's ham costume. Next year, you can always paint it and make another book-inspired costume.
