In my country (Israel), we don’t have Halloween (Even though me and my friends love throwing our own Halloween parties :), but we have “Purim” which is a Jewish ritual where everyone is welcome to go outside in costumes. Our school holds a costume competition every year. Unfortunately, every competition had been a failure for … Read more
Neurotic? No, no, no! I don’t like that word. I’d say, thorough. Yeah, let’s go with that. When I decided that I wanted to be Alice it was not even a question that there’d be extensive underpinnings. I’m nothing if not, well, thorough. First, a lady needs a corset. I make them professionally so it … Read more
My costume is an Alice In Wonderland and Cheshire Cat mash-up costume (I’m the one wearing the costume and I made it). I was inspired by a dance I’d seen with one person as the Cheshire cat and the other as Alice, and it inspired me to get creative and create a costume no one … Read more
Alice in Wonderland has always been my favorite story. As a child I was so mesmerized by the magic and beautiful animation. I know many people view the story as one about drugs and I, however, see it as an inspirational story about mental health. The white rabbit struggles with anxiety, Alice is struggling with … Read more

To become Alice in Zombieland, it took about a month and a half to prepare and about four hours of making. Almost all the accessories I bought online, I needed to think through what I would need and how I would use it. The dress I bought on eBay for about 20£ as a whole … Read more
My 12 year old cousin wanted to be Alice in Wonderland for Halloween and I decided to do it right. I’m a person who researches everything and it has to be perfect. So I discovered that Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland in 1865 meaning that Alice would have had a laced up girls gown … Read more
I was really into playing American McGee’s Alice and feel in love with the main character. I wanted so badly to be this character for Halloween and one of my coworkers mentioned his wife was just getting in to sewing and making my costume would be good practice for her.

My husband and I decided to go as Alice and The White Rabbit this year. It was a bit of a last minute decision and I put these costumes together in a week. My Alice costume was based off a sewing pattern and tweaked a bit by adding the black and white striped fabric and … Read more

I wanted to go as the White Rabbit, originally, but later decided to be the Mad Hatter. It took a week and half to complete my Homemade Mad Hatter Costume. I had started out by creating the … Read more
