Here’s my 9-year-old daughter and her little Beth Harmon costume from The Queen’s Gambit. We were able to repurpose her dress from last year’s Wednesday Addams’ costume, so this was definitely a budget-friendly costume. The most difficult part was her very long hair that needed to be meticulously curled and pinned and the winged eyeliner, … Read more
My six-year-old son loved the Loki series on Netflix – who can resist the God of Mischief? He loved all the variants in the show, but he was most amused when Loki was imprisoned by the Time Variance Authority at the beginning of the series. He always manages to really channel his Halloween costume characters, … Read more
Our 4-year-old Elsa has always loved Hall & Oates, and when she asked to attend their concert this past summer, we were happy to oblige. She sang and danced the entire time and left an even bigger fan than before. She couldn’t decide whether to be Hall OR Oates for Halloween, so it only made … Read more
My 19-month-old Wes stars as Inspector Jacques Clouseau from The Pink Panther. This costume idea actually took shape in fall 2015 when I put a bucket hat and fake mustache on, then-8-month-old, Wes. He looked exactly like Inspector Clouseau from ‘The Pink Panther’ series. It didn’t take long to piece together the shirt/tie/pants, trench coat, … Read more
Here’s my son’s cute baby costume: Raoul Duke from Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I put a bucket hat on Wes this past summer and observed that he looked like Hunter S. Thompson (or more accurately, Raoul Duke, I suppose). We were able to piece the costume together fairly easily -khakis, loafers, Hawaiian-print … Read more
Here’s three-year-old Elsa’s Ronda Rousey costume. She loves boxing and took a liking to UFC as well. She loves to watch ‘Wonda Wousey’ fights, and is pretty disappointed that they aren’t typically very long. I used a black leotard and black shorts with an iron-on UFC logo that I had to draw, cut, place and … Read more
Elsa transforms into a tiny ‘The Dude’ this Halloween. Unfortunately, store bought costumes for girls are typically pretty limited, so I’ve made costumes for Elsa since her first Halloween. We’ve had a lot of fun with unique costumes — Team Zissou member, Rosie the Riveter – since she’s not quite at the age to choose … Read more
