Lets Make A Fancy Dress Costume

Are you looking for a Halloween costume that will help win a costume contest? Perhaps you have squeaked by every previous year as a pirate fancy dress, a vampire or a ghost, and have never had anything truly unique, just always something rushed. This year, you’re ready to take your costume design seriously and you’re planning in advance to make this the best Halloween party ever. Here are some ideas that will make others laugh, scream, drop their jaws or just award you the prize upon sight.

While the grown up girls will prefer to buy a sexy sailor fancy dress costume, some of the cleverest childrens costumes are the ones parents devise and make themselves. For instance, some kids paint themselves all black and dress in black (with red or blue colored sleeves and iPod accessories), while carrying matching backdrops, to go as the classic iPod ad! Other kids dress up as the “Koolaid” man and have two friends dress as pieces of the wall he was busting through. You can dress as a “Holy Cow,” as the late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson or as one of the “Royal Tenenbaums” in a red cord track jacket, sweatband, faux fur and eyeliner. You can go as “Nick Nolte’s Mug Shot” by wearing a Hawaiian shirt and messing up your hair, or you may want to use that Hawaiian garb to go with your moustache and sunglasses, as in “Weekend at Bernies.” Imagine the laughter at the costume party when you arrive as a lawn gnome, pine tree air freshener or paper doll!

However, if you’re looking for this year’s trendiest Halloween costumes, then look no further than the blockbuster Hollywood hits. For instance, the latest Batman movie is bound to bring a host of Jokers, Batmans and Two-faces. You can find some great adult costumes at www.halloweenadventure.com and www.costumzee.com, or you can make your own. Adults may also look to films like “Grease,” “Titanic,” “Chicago,” “A Clockwork Orange,” “Moulin Rouge,” “Cabaret,” “The Seven Year Itch” (Marilyn Monroe), “Breakfast at Tiffanys” (Audrey Hepburn), “Elizabeth-The Golden Age” or “Gone With the Wind” for inspiration. For kids costumes, Harry Potter will continue to be popular throughout 2009, so check www.whimsicalley.com, www.onlinecostumestore.com or www.hollywoodcostumes.com! There are a number of adorable kids costume ideas at www.buycostumes.com that are new for 2008, like Indiana Jones, Transformers, Iron Man, Pokemon, Speedracer, Batman and Cookie Monster. Girls may want to dress as Hannah Montana, or as a character from High School Musical or the Chronicles of Narnia. If money is no object to you and you want to stop the show with a movie-quality $500 Bigfoot, $300 Evil Inbred or $2,000 Wraith costume, then be sure to check www.thehorrordome.com!

If you’re going to a costume party with a group of friends, then why not try to coordinate your Halloween costumes? At www.zoogstercostumes.com, you can grab a number of diverse gangster, fairy tale, super hero, and pirate or hippie costumes. Or, you can go as characters from “Grease,” “The Addams Family,” “Star Wars,” “Austin Powers,” “Wizard of Oz,” “Scooby Doo,” “Flintstones” or “Gilligans Island.” At www.halloweenadventure.com you will find a number of funny and creative couples costumes as well. Go as bacon-and-eggs, nuts-and-bolts, Adam and Eve or plug-and-socket. Visit www.halloweenexpress.com for a fantastic selection of costumes for kids, offering breakfast cereal characters, as well as characters from Bratz, Alice In Wonderland, DC comics, Disney, Hellboy, Harry Potter, High School Musical, Lord of the Rings, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Saw, Shrek, Scooby Doo, Spider Man and many more!
