Well, this sexy and easy Black Swan costume was honestly super super simple. I found an old corset I had worn several Halloweens before that was mainly solid black. But it did have some pink ribbon decorations on the front. So I just went to my local Hobby Lobby, got a ton of black feathers and went to … Read more
Year before last, I decided I wanted a mermaid costume in a giant shell for our church’s trunk or treat Halloween celebration. I’ve always loved making costumes, and this is one of the most handmade, more detailed costumes I’ve put together. There’s still that little girl in me who loves to play dress up, and … Read more

About a month or two ago, I started thinking of what I could do this year. (Last year I was Kate Middleton with a Prince William cardboard cutout, … Read more
I love team costumes. Every year we try to find something better. This year, after a trip in Mexico I thought of El Dia de los Muertos. We first got inspired by painting, art works and skulls. Then, we visited second hand shops and found bustiers and skirts. We found at the 1 dollar shop plastic flowers and simply glued them … Read more
Our company has an annual Halloween Party and the costume competition is very competitive. I knew this year if I had a chance of winning, I had come up with something extremely different.

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
Every year my company hosts a huge Halloween party and costume contest. My co-workers and I are always trying to beat each other out for 1st place.
