YArr it's that time of the year again!!!

So where do I get costumes??? X_x authentic looking costumes are so so so expensive and the ones at zellers are fake, uncomfortable and they don't fit well~

i got the most amazing bat girl costume at some toy store, it was $50 and really good quality, not like the ones you would buy at wal mart or sanfrancisco (altho it seems like the wal mart ones are pretty good this year)

You could always make one... I made my Queen of Hearts costume last year, & it was pretty awesome.

I was at Old Navy and they have the cutest little kid costumes, like hot dogs and chickens and stuff. Oo and then they had ones for dogs, so I was going to get my puppy one, it was a purple cape and crown, but I didnt.

Back to your question, you could always search online to find ideas.

It's always a good idea to start early, cause then you can kind of build your costume yourself. Last year I was a cowgirl and I did that, I started in like September and I just ended up borrowing a lot of the stuff I wore, and that way you save money because you don't really want to spend tons on a costume you'll only wear once.

And I would definitely say Value Village and other thrift/vintage stores would be your best bet, though it does depend on what kind of costume you're looking for.

miss_ally, could you show me a picture of your queen of hearts costume? I just wanty to see what you did, because that's what I'm being:)

^ I would, except since I used stuff that was mine and just altered it so after Hallowe'en I kinda got rid of everything. I can describe it to you though. I had this red skirt I made, and the material was velevety, and I wore a crinolin underneath so when I spun around it was floofy. It was about knee length. Then I had a black sweater that I sewed a giant red heart on and used a red ribbon as a belt. I wore a crown and had this glittery wand that had a star on top. I sewed a mini heart around the star and stuffed it. I wore black fishnets (couldn't choose between red/black) and black 1" heels.

I went to value village the other day and there selection was not very good at all Sad

hopefully it was just because it is so early.
