I was on Pinterest one day looking at costumes and saw an outfit that was made for a super hero themed marathon and she was being Wonder Woman. She had made a tulle tutu skirt and used a black tank top but I thought I would take it to the next level. Best part? NO … Read more
I give Halloween my all every year, but this Horror Movie Victim Halloween costume has got to be my all-time favorite. It was simple, sexy, and scary, an homage to the early 80’s but also timeless. One of my favorite things about it was that at a glance, it was just shorts, a t-shirt, and tube … Read more
For Halloween, I always try to go as all out as I can to enjoy myself before and during the wicked season. Previously, I had not tried to go dark and mysterious with my costumes. I had only tried to make myself a good costume with no regard to the “scary- factor” of any of them. … Read more
I absolutely adore Halloween, which is not as per usual for a young person- nonetheless for a young lady. Every year I try to out do myself from the year before with an outrageous idea or unbelievable makeup. I wanted to make some sort of cat costume one year, because I love cats almost as much as … Read more
The idea for this costume came from the awesome Zumba outfits everyone was wearing at the gym. Sparkles, cut up t shirts and bright socks. The costume is easy and quick to make. All you really need is some scissors to cut the bottoms off bright socks, (I got mine at Target, ) and to … Read more
I had wanted to be Carmen Sandiego for a while, because I had the long red pea coat already. Once you have that, the only other thing you really need to worry about is the hat. I had a hard time finding a fedora big enough that it looked like hers. I finally found one … Read more
In 2010 I dressed up as Susan Murphy aka Ginormica from the 2009 film Monsters Vs. Aliens. The shirt part of the costume was prepared ahead of time (August 2009, I think) by painting some details of Susan’s shirt, but the costume wasn’t able to be pulled off because I didn’t have a white wig … Read more
This Loonette from Big Comfy Couch Halloween costume wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be to make. I purchased the jumpsuit, long sleeve shirt, hat, wig, pack sack at Salvation Army store. For the jumpsuit I dyed it pink and put Velcro in the back (for washroom purposes), lol. I added purple ribbon around … Read more
This sail dress was my very first time making/sewing my own cosplay dress (no patterns were used.) I believe the only reason why I was able to finish this dress successfully is because, there was no rules to follow in order to make this dress. After all it’s only a big sheet of ripped sail … Read more
This fun Halloween costume from the Movie Up was my absolute favorite costume that I have made to date!! I used an old box and taped ‘basket weaving’ on it and then spray painted it brown. The top of the ‘hot air balloon’ was held up by PVC pipes taped into the corners. The suspenders helped … Read more
Alright, well it was my senior year in high school and we had spirit week. One of the days was celebrity day and so OF COURSE I was going to go all out and be one of my personal heroes, Katy Perry. I wanted to do something more original and make my own costume, so … Read more
My creepy button-eyed doll Halloween costume went through various stages before the final addition of the button eyes. I first started out making the dress (which turned out was the easiest part). I added a purchased corset over top. The first time I used the costume I made it a steampunk doll and painted myself silver. … Read more
