The first image of Maid Marion that pops into my head when I think of Robin Hood’s love is of a regal woman in green. What I have read since childhood, however, would indicate that Maid Marion would probably have worn purple.
I think the reason for vision in my head of Maid Marion in green is that in the book I had as a child (which told a very romantic version of this tale) Maid Marion wore green. Considering Robin Hood and his band of men all wore green it seemed an appropriate color for her to be dressed in as well.
The actual color that the fair Maid Marion preferred or even the style of clothing she wore is anyone’s guess as we’re not even sure exactly when during the Medieval period of history she was alive. We’re also not sure who exactly she was, although there have been a lot of theories espoused.
As far as Maid Marion costumes go this is great because it means you really do have a lot of different Renaissance gowns to choose from ……. or even no gown! I do remember one tale of a spunky Maid Marion who dressed as a man so a medieval tunic rather like Robin Hoods could be another alternative for a Maid Marion costume idea.
This blue Maid Marion costume is quite an appropriate color for her as one of the original tales of Maid Marion seems to have hailed from May Day celebrations where she was seen as a personification of the Virgin Mary. As we all know Mother Mary is often seen wearing blue.
The dress also has the appearance of velvet about it and this is interesting because during the Medieval times, there were Sumptuary Laws that governed what people could and could not wear.
Velvet was one of the materials that could only be worn by those in the upper classes which the stories have often alluded Maid Marion to be.
The burgundy which appears to be the color of the costume’s ‘kirtle’ as well as the color of her sash was reserved for the highest nobility as in dukes, marquises and earls.
The strands of gold around the neckline was also reserved for the nobility.
Although the reviewers haven’t been kind about the quality of the costume I do think the look is perfect for a Maid Marion outfit and it certainly pays a nod to several of the different folklores surrounding this romantic Medieval character.
Maid Marion in Disguise Fancy Dress Costume
I do remember one of the different tales had Maid Marion dressed up as a man who happened to come across Robin Hood and was challenged by him before they recognized each other.
If you like this idea for a costume then you could simply wear a Robin Hood costume or purchase the cool costume below –
This gorgeous costume features a shirt, cape, pants with boot tops, belt, headpiece and gauntlets.
The whole costume looks great, but personally, I wouldn’t bother wearing the headpiece as although I think it’s very in keeping with the times if I was dressing up as a man it certainly wouldn’t feature in my outfit!
I would also be carrying a bow and arrow, because why should Robin Hood have all the fun?
Now if you’ve decided you like the idea of dressing up as Maid Marion in disguise you may be up for making your own outfit. This one will certainly be easier to make than if you want to dress up in a gown!
When my daughter was in primary school she came home with the announcement that they had to dress up in Medieval costume the next day (she had forgotten to give me the notes about it!), it was in the evening so all of the shops were closed. Luckily I had some material that (although not ideal) could be used to fashion a tunic.
There are lots of tutorials for Medieval clothing online and I basically used a pattern for a basic T-Tunic like the first one in this tutorial – How to make a quick and easy Tabard or T-Tunic
I then cut a thin wedge out of the middle of the front of the top and added some holes on either side which we threaded some garden twine through and laced up (a shoelace could easily have been used instead).
This was worn over a long skirt and long-sleeved skivvy by my daughter, but for your DIY Maid Marion outfit I think it needs to be worn over a pair of straight-legged trousers or leggings instead of a skirt.
The length of the tunic is up to you and I’d probably go just above the knee for Maid Marion dressing as a man – then simply use some rope as a loose belt.
More Maid Marion Costumes
Maid Marion Costume in Burgundy with Dress and HeadpiecI must admit that I’ve seen a lot of Maid Marion costumes that are burgundy or deep red in color like the one to the side and I think this is because it further promotes the stories of her being from noble birth.
One story in particular says that she was of noble blood, but orphaned and was actually a ward of the King.
I do like the costume below, however as it combines the burgundy with green and I just do like the idea of Maid Marion wearing green and not just to match Robin Hood either!
This really does have everything you want in a medieval dress, the low neckline, the lace-up bodice and the sleeves …… the sleeves are probably one of my favorite things about Renaissance fashion!
If you would rather make your own Maid Marion costume then there are certainly a lot of sites that will help you, but I think Rosalie’s Medieval Women is a great one to start with.

Zombies and boys seem to have been made for each other which is why I predict that some will want to wear these fun zombie costumes all the time and not just for Halloween or a fancy dress occasion etc.
You can combine zombies with superheroes or music stars or more. Remember the saying that zombies were people too? This means that any costume you can think of can be turned into a zombie version of it, why even the sock monkey can become a zombie and that’s a scary thought for me!
Let’s have a look at some of the fun, yet gruesome costume ideas that boys will love….
Zombie Sock Monkey Costume
An Unlikely Zombie, But A Cool Costume!
I love the look of this costume although it’s unlikely that a sock monkey would ever become a zombie, it’s still a cool idea. Since sock monkeys were first made out of actual socks in Victorian times they have been endeared by children around the world. Although the present day sock monkeys probably wouldn’t recognize their ancestors they have become something of a cult in modern society and they even have their own festival which may have been where someone dreamed up the idea of a zombie sock monkey too!
This child’s costume is basically made up of a jumpsuit with a detachable tail and a soft headpiece and it’s guaranteed to bring a smile to your child’s face, unless they were looking forward to adding some gruesome zombie make up to their faces in which case you might want to consider one of the other costumes available.
Zombie Pirate Costume
A Popular Boys Costume with a Twist!
Let your child go from ‘Arrrrhh me Hearties’ to mere grunts with this costume – it’s also a great way to get yourself ready for boy teendom I believe! There are a few different zombie pirate costumes available as well as the one I’ve featured here, but another option is to use an old pirate costume if he has one.
Last year’s costume may be a little short in the arms and/or legs, but once you rip them a little bit no one will notice they’ll just think that’s what a zombie pirate looks like! Be sure to add some dirt and fake blood and you have a perfect costume that didn’t cost you anything!
If you do need to buy the costume then this one leaves the face clear so that you can hone your face painting skills or if you’re feeling very adventurous (and your child will stay still for longer than five minutes) you could even try using liquid latex to create some amazing ‘wounds’ for his face.
I just go onto YouTube for inspiration, there are some amazing tutorials on there for both zombie face painting and using liquid latex to provide a cool zombie look.
Zombie Ninja Costume
Not Even Ninja’s Can Escape the Zombie Apocalypse!
Ninjas seem to be an eternally popular costumes for boys, but what about a ninja that wasn’t quite as invisible as he thought who managed to get trapped by zombies and was made one of the undead? I think this would make the costume even more appealing to some of the boys I know!
This zombie ninja costume includes a fabric mask which means all you need to do is use some black or grey face paint around his eyes to create the illusion of sunken eyes and make any other parts of the face that show through a greyish color – it certainly beats having to transform his whole face into something befitting a member of the undead!
Unfortunately the costume doesn’t include the sword, which means you’ll have to buy that separately because you can’t really be a ninja without it can you? Of course you may already have a ninja sword in which case all you need is this four piece fancy dress outfit.
The outfit includes a tunic, ninja belt tie, pants and a fabric face mask.
Zombie Batman Costume
From Superhero to a Member of the Undead!
I have no idea how Batman was turned into a zombie, but I’m pretty sure that this is the end of Gotham City because without the dark knight himself how will they stop the undead from taking over the entire city. Next you’ll be seeing Commissioner Gordon, Robin and even Alfred as zombies …….
Superheroes are always a popular costume choice among boys, I know every time I see my youngest nephews they seem to be in different superhero costumes or if they’re not in costumes they’re sporting superhero t-shirts etc. I think the eldest of the brothers will be starting to look for something a little more ‘big boy’ by the time next Halloween comes so I’ll have to ask his mum whether or not he’s ‘discovered’ zombies yet!
The mask that comes with this costume is truly gruesome and will save you having to weave your magic as far as face paint goes. It is definitely for older boys though as I imagine some of the younger ones would have nightmares just looking at the mask!
The costume also comes with the jumpsuit, but not the boots or gloves and I have to say that Batman is a much ‘tidier’ zombie than most, if it wasn’t for the mask you wouldn’t realize he was one of the undead!

Looking for some cool Monster High costumes? You’ve come to the right place as we have some fangtastic costume ideas based on your favorite high school ghouls.
Whether your favorite Monster High character is Frankie Stein or Lagoona Blue we have all of the costume ideas right here waiting for you.
If you haven’t heard of Monster High then you don’t have any young girls in your life! Monster High started life as fashion dolls from Mattel, but they’ve evolved into so much more since then. There are Monster High books, television shows and they even have their own website! Basically Monster High Rules!
The sixteen year old daughter of the Yeti this is a cool costume idea – I especially love the blue in the costume, after all Abbey’s favorite color is ice blue!
Being the daughter of the Yeti it’s hardly surprising that Abbey’s costume should have fur on it as it’s all part of her personal style – it also helps to keep her warm when she’s showing off her snow boarding skills!
This official Monster High Abbey Bominable costume includes the kaleidoscope dress in black, pink, white and , of course, blue as well as the furry arm and leg warmers.
Wig, make-up and shoes are not included with this costume, but you can buy them seperately.
White tights are a great idea to wear with this costume and you can team them with any white shoes that you like because the attention is going to be on the white fur leg warmers when it comes to Abbey’s legs!
I have to say that I saw this costume on not one, but three different young girls when I was at a Halloween event last year and it looked great! Two out of the three wore white tights while the other one had bare legs and I really think the white tights adds something to the whole look.
Clawdeen Wolf Costume
A Stylish Monster High Costume
Clawdeen Wolf is the 15 year old daughter of a werewolf who knows she’s gorgeous and dresses with confidence.
Included in this costume are the jacket, shirt, skirt, studded belt, studded choker and boot tops. Note – the wig, ears and make-up are not included.
You can purchase an official Clawdeen Wolf wig which includes ears as well as Clawdeen’s official Monster High make-up.
Let’s look at what is included in this costume though – first I love, love, love the purple and black boot tops. The great thing about getting boot tops is that your daughter can wear a comfy pair of black shoes of her own and just pop these on so that it looks like she’s wearing a fashionable pair of Clawdeen’s boots.
The matching studded belt and choker is something that I can see your daughter adopting into her own wardrobe as part of a ‘rocking it with confidence’ look!
Clawdeen’s black jacket has purple trim to match her cool purple skirt and you’ve got to love the black petticoat detailing around the bottom of the skirt – it’s enough to make you want to growl in delight!
Cleo loves gold as you can see in her costume, in fact it’s about the only thing that her and Clawdeen can agree on! She does rock bright blue though as evidenced with this costume that includes a sheer blue overshirt.
Included in this Cleo De Nile costume is a shirt, leggings, belt and glovette in a matching gold ‘mummy-style’ material along with a gold arm band (very Egyptian). The blue overshirt is apparently attached to the gold shirt and really completes the outfit.
Not included is the wig, make up shoes and jewelry that Cleo is also pictured wearing here. I would definitely let your daughter wear some gold bangles if she has any as it is just so Cleo De Nile!
As I’ve stated previously you can purchase official Monster High make up for all of the students along with their individual wigs.
Draculaura Costume
A Pretty in Pink Monster High Costume
It’s no surprise that Draculaura is Dracula’s daughter who loves to brighten up her life (and her wardrobe) with pink as you can see in her costume.
This whole costume really is fangtastic as Draculaura would say and if you wanted to add something extra to the outfit then find a black and pink frilly umbrella (or just a pink one). Draculaura often carries a frilly umbrella with her so that she can take an occasional walk in the sun.
If you want more costume ideas for Draculaura then be sure to check out the page below which includes her fear squad costume, dot dead gorgeous dress and her sweet 1600 outfit as well as other ideas on creating your own costume based on your favorite Monster High vampire.

The daughter of Frankenstein Frankie Stein is the envy of her friends with the absolute best body for fashion! Her love of black and white stripes is nicely demonstrated with her monsterley stylish hair.
Unfortunately the wig is one of the things not included in this costume along with the shoes and jewelry, what is included however is the dress, tie, belt and leggings.
The pretty plaid dress matches Frankie’s green skin really well and it has and attached stitch sleeve and polka dot tie with the Monster High logo on it.
The leggings has the same stitch pattern as her sleeves and really ‘make’ the outfit as one of Frankie’s pet peeves is that her stitches sometimes come loose and limbs go flying though the air! The stitch detail helps this Frankie Stein costume keep that illusion.
Also included in this costume is a cool studded belt which just adds a rebel look to Frankie’s attire which a lot of young girls will also enjoy.
Check out even more cool Frankie costume ideas below –
Her costume leaves you in no doubt that her favorite color is red as it really does dominate this outfit!
The white cat eye style of ‘nerd’ glasses is included in this Ghoulia Yelps costume along with her top, belt and pants.
Note – Wig, make-up, necklace and sneakers are not included. I must admit I think it’s a shame that the sneakers aren’t included as they’re really cool.
Let’s look at the costume in more detail – the pants are in Ghoulia’s favorite color of red with black dots over them which adds a cool dimension to her outfit. The belt is Ghoulia’s signature piano belt that you have to include with any of her outfits.
The top is really cool giving the illusion that it’s a top over a top and you’ve got to love those fishnet/mesh style sleeves.
Monster High Howleen Wolf Costume
Howleen is the baby sister of the Wolf family, but she certainly knows how to stand out from the crowd as you can see with her costume here.
Having a popular big sister like Clawdeen and a big brother like Clawd it’s hardly surprising that Howleen wants to make her own mark in the world as I’m sure all younger siblings can sympathize with.
This officially licensed Monster High costume is based on Howleen’s outfit from the 13 wishes line and includes the very 80s inspired dress with attached jacket along with the belt, single glove and bright pink tights.
All you need to do to complete the costume is to get a pair of black boots and Howleen’s wig.
Howleen drives Clawdeen crazy when she raids her wardrobe without asking her, but I think this outfit is much better on her than her sister’s clothes as it adds a youthful, punk inspired edge which suits her really well.
Jinafire Long Costume
An Eastern Inspired Monster High Costume Idea
Jinafire is a dragon from Shanghai and is very fiery in temperment as you’d expect a dragon to be, she’s also very fashion conscious which is why she gets on so well with Skelita and Clawdeen.
Jinafire Long Costume
&
This costume certainly has a lot of far Eastern flair to it and it’s put together in a very fun way which is part of it’s appeal.
The costume consists of the dress, tail (well she is a dragon so she has to have a tail) and belt.
Unfortunately her amazing wig isn’t included, but can be brought separately and is available on my Monster High Wigs page.
Lagoona Blue Costume
An Official Monster High Costume
Daughter of a sea monster Lagoona Blue is really comfortable relaxing in baggies, tank top and floppies although with her looks she can rock a cute dress any day of the week..
Lagoona’s favorite color is ocean blue which is hardly a surprise as she loves the water as you can see from her costume which rather reminds me of a mermaid!
I must admit I absolutely love Lagoona Blue’s costume, first let’s look at her top which is pink with black that looks like fish scales. The top has a a jacket that’s attached to it along with fins ……. well she is a daughter of the ocean!
She is wearing a black skirt that has some cool leggings attached and I think these leggings really help to make the costume. They are a beautiful blue and are really sheer …… they also have fins attached.
The wig, shoes and make up are not included with this costume, but the look of a Swim Team Captain at Monster High is definitely included!!
Monster High Operetta Costume
Daughter of the Phantom of the Opera Operetta loves all music not just opera, but especially Elvis Presley. A perfectionist who loves her music Operetta certainly has plenty of her own style about her as you can see with her gorgeous costume.
This licensed costume includes her jacket with attached shirt, pants, belt and her amazing eye mask which I am just a little in love with!
Her jacket has spiderwebs over the shoulders which I think is to play homage to her pet, Memphis “Daddy O” Longlegs, who as the name would suggest is a spider! The belt has music notes over it as well as a spiderweb which all seems to be perfect for this diva of a ghoul.
Her gorgeous red hair is fashioned in 1940s inspired victory rolls and unfortunately the wig isn’t included in the costume, nor are the shoes and socks although I’m sure you’d have suitable shoes and socks in your wardrobe to complete this relatively casual looking outfit.
Skelita Calaveras Costume
Hailing from Hexico Skelita is what’s known as a calaca (a skeleton used to celebrate the Day of the Dead), her whole family is made up of skeletons and her face is always made up to look like a sugar skull.
This costume consists of gloves and tights with bones on them to imitate her skeletal figure along with a dress and belt. Her gorgeous black and marigold hair can be captured in the wig shown her, but unfortunately it isn’t included in the costume. It can be purchased separately if you like and I would personally recommend it as I think the wig is beautiful.
Create the cool sugar skull detailing on Skelita’s face with the help of this video tutorial.
Monster High Spectra Vondergeist Costume
Spectra rocks the hot pink and black in a way that my daughter loves – no guesses as to who she’d want to dress up as at a Monster High party!
The daughter of ghosts Spectra loves to wear layers of silk with a touch of metal (like the belt this costume includes), that way she can float around like a very graceful ghost and make a little rattle just so that people know she’s there!
One thing that disappoints me with this costume is that the shoes and ball and chain are not included. I loved the look of them in the image so was upset to see that I’d have to try and create them myself.
What is included in this Spectra costume is the top, skirt, belt and cuff which, luckily, are the things my daughter loves!
The top is made up of faux leather and pink velveteen and has three silver chains on the front as a nice form of embellishment. The skirt is a matching one with a handkerchief hemline that girls love the look of.
The belt and cuff both match and are important accessories to Spectra Vondergeist’s costume.
Monster High Twyla Costume
Daughter of the Boogey Man Twyla is very shy and often misunderstood, I would call her an introvert in nature. Her blue-grey skin is topped off with an amazing looking pastel colored hair that reaches down to her hips. Her cascading locks are a pastel green in color with both blue and purple stripes running through it which makes her really stand out from the crowd.
Her wardrobe includes a lot of pastel green, blue and black as these are the colors she loves to wear that also look great with her hair and skin tone.
The official Monster High Twyla costume featured her includes both the dress and the tights – I would add a pair of silver gloves and the matching wig to really make the outfit ‘pop’.

Every Halloween provides adults with the opportunity to play dress up without raising any eyebrows. When you’re attending Halloween fancy dress parties what better to dress up as than a star from one of your favorite horror movies? Freddy Krueger, Chucky even the ghost face from the Scream movies.
Who to dress up as though? I always find it really hard to make a decision when it comes to fancy dress and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Welcome to my top 10 Movie Inspired Halloween Costumes list especially thought up to help you decide on what to wear this Halloween…..or at a horror movie inspired party.
Freddy Krueger is my favorite boogey man…….A Nightmare on Elm Street scared the living daylights out of me and caused coffee sales to skyrocket during 1984 (actually, I may have just made that up, but I WAS drinking lots of coffee!!). Who better to dress up as for a truly scary Halloween.
This Freddy Krueger costume set is a 4 piece set and consists of his infamous red and green striped top, a lightweight hat, a hideous mask and a glove which has adjustable straps on each finger.
Now you won’t be able to inflict too much damage with this glove as unlike Freddy’s the one supplied with this costume set is made from molded plastic!
All you will need to add is a pair of black trousers and a way to invade people’s dreams….
Jason Vorhees Costume
Friday the 13th
If you’re attending a Halloween party with a friend or partner than how about getting them to dress up as Jason while you wear your Freddy costume and you could be Freddy Vs Jason!
Jason Vorhees was born deformed and was bullied constantly as a child and supposedly drowned.
Jason had other ideas however and in the Friday 13th movies he keeps becoming resurrected.
A frightening person indeed for a Halloween party guest to be.
Michael Myers Fancy Dress Outfit
A Scary Halloween Costume
The ultimate bad guy to dress up as on Halloween would have to be Michael Myers from the movie, yes you’ve guessed it, Halloween! Michael Myers committed all of his murders at Halloween so this would make a murderous fancy dress choice.
This two piece costume set includes the jumpsuit as well as the mask.
The jumpsuit is made from poly cotton and is pretty much what you’d expect from a jumpsuit – long sleeves, zipped front.
The mask will leave no one in any doubt as to who you are dressed up as.
Leatherface Outfit
A Texas Chainsaw Massacre Costume Idea
Why is it that antagonists in horror movies often have disfigurements? Thomas Hewitt’s disfigurement was what caused him to commit his first murders and then after he decided to skin one of his victims and use their facial skin as a mask he earned the moniker Leatherface.
You can dress up as Leatherface and saunter into the Halloween party with a chainsaw tossed over your shoulder and the crowds will part as you find your way to the bar…..no one stands in the way of a chainsaw!
This costume doesn’t come with a chainsaw though, it does come with a mask (that even has hair attached), a shirt with tie and Leatherface’s apron.
Chucky Costume
A Child’s Play Costume Idea
Chucky is a really creepy antagonist and makes you look at dolls in a whole new way. If you want to send chills up everyone’s spine this Halloween then dress up as the doll who contains the blackened soul of a serial killer.
This licensed Chucky costume consists of a latex mask that has Chucky’s trademark red hair attached to it along with his outfit.
The stripy top and pair of dungarees are almost as recognizable as his face and hair! I have goosebumps just looking at this costume, I would run a mile if I saw someone wearing it!!
I saw someone wearing this costume at a fancy dress party and they looked good…..I had to ask who Pinhead was though as I’ve never seen Hellraiser. Can I be excused if I say it’s a hellraiser of a costume(!).
Scream Costume
Everyone knows this costume, but it doesn’t actually have a name it is merely the Scream mask thingamajig or whatsit.
Even with no real name this costume is instantly recognizable – you can even buy a Scream rubber duckie. I know Scream was really a send up of horror movies, but it was really quite funny so I’m adding it in here.
This costume comes with a hooded robe, belt and the infamous Scream mask.
Hannibal Lecter Outfit
A Silence of the Lambs Costume
What a cool costume to wear, especially if you’re going to be having dinner with friends…….stay clear of the Chianti unless you want people looking at your plate more closely and discretely counting heads at the party.
This costume includes white pajama style asylum pants and matching straight jacket along with a muzzle mask with elastic straps.
Norman Bates Outfit
Psycho Costume
Norman Bates was the ultimate reason not to stay in out of the way hotels, this film was playing at a hotel I was staying at with my hubby and he couldn’t believe that I’d never seen it. Guess what we did? We watched the movie of course which was okay, then I went to have a shower and the room had a shower curtain up…..when my hubby walked in to ask me a question I nearly jumped out of my skin and apparently my scream could rival Janet Leigh!
This officially licensed Psycho Costume includes striped dress with black lace trim and ruffle hem. The stretchy silk-like dress pulls over head and ties at back of neck and is made from 100% polyester.
The costume also includes a silver wig, but there’s no knife included, luckily there are lots of novelty ones available to buy because I think one is essential for this costume.
Saw is another movie that I didn’t see. At the time that it came out I was doing the mommy thing and then I didn’t want to see the sequel before watching the original…..somehow it never happened. Jigsaw is a popular Halloween costume however and he sounds like a testing type of person (I know the jokes aren’t funny, I’m sorry, but bear with me.).
If you did see the hit movie saw, then this officially licensed deluxe jigsaw puppet costume will scare the daylights out of you! The costume includes jacket, shirt with attached tie, pants, mask, and gloves.

These Crayola Crayon Halloween costumes are a lot of fun and a great idea for a group costume as they come in a range of different colors. I guess that’s hardly surprising as they are based on crayons! Whether you prefer the orange crayon costume or the blue crayon costume there’s plenty of colors to choose from.
I think they’re a great costume idea that is bound to bring a smile to anyone’s face young and old because they’re something that generations of people are familiar with.
Let’s have a look at the range of different crayon costumes that are available.
Halloween Costumes.com
I particularly like the individual crayon costumes, but research would suggest that the box of crayons style of costume is the most popular.
Individual Crayon Costumes
As you can see from the image there’s actually three different takes on the individual crayon costumes.
I personally love the unisex crayon costumes which you can see in the top row of the picture. This style is available from Toddler age up in a range of colors like the ones above as well as yellow, orange and red.
There is even a baby bunting costume in this style which looks very cute. Check it out below –
You can dress the whole family up in different colored crayon costumes which should made everyone happy!
Of course there are other styles of crayon costumes available and you know that because you can see them on the picture so let’s look at them as well.
Sticking with the individual crayons the costumes shown above are both designed for women and include a tank dress style costume as well as a what is called a glitz and glitter tank dress.
The traditional tank dress style of costume can be found for a lot of different things such as candy costumes such as twix bars or the individual m&ms as well as board games like tic tak toe and vodka bottle costumes so it’s hardly a surprise to see it as a crayon costume as well.
I do like the hat that comes with it, but for me the tank dress is just not very flattering to my figure so I’ll be sticking to the unisex costume!
The glitz and glitter tank dress style of costume is a lot of fun and I know a few little girls who would like this style and luckily it is available in girls sizes as well as ladies sizes. The shoulder is more of a boat style and the style of the skirt helps to soften the look of the tank – it looks like a lot of fun!
This costume does contain glitter however and this can mean that you find glitter everywhere after wearing it. I haven’t actually tried on these costumes, but reviewers have mentioned that this is a problem and it does appear to be the same material that my daughter had in a flapper dress once which looked fantastic, but dropped glitter like crazy!
Dog Crayon Costumes
Hold the Phones – There’s a Crayon Halloween Costume for Your Pet!
I have only just found this next costume quite by accident and I’m so excited because I think my dog would look awesome in it! You really can dress the whole family up as a box of crayons, fur children as well!
This is also available in blue and green which is just as well because I don’t think my hubby would like me to dress our male dog in this pink!
I’m not sure the model looks very happy, but I think our ‘little man’ will love strutting his stuff in this costume. Whether he keeps the hat on or not is another story though!
Crayola T-Shirts
You can also combine a Crayola t-shirt with a pair of matching leggings to make a costume as well. (The official leggings which are available can also be worn under the dress if you like.)
These t-shirts are also ideal if you have a husband like mine is a little bah humbug about dressing up in costume for Halloween.
Let him wear a t-shirt with a pair of jeans and he won’t feel like he’s in full costume, but the kids will see him as a crayon just like them, although they may be cheeky enough to tell him his costume’s not nearly as good as theirs!
Box of Crayons Costume
The other costume in the picture at the top of the page is a unisex one of a box of crayons and this has been shown to be the most popular of crayon costumes over the past few years.
If you’re dressing up yourself then it’s ideal to keep all of the different crayons in one place, but if you’re dressing up as a family or a group of friends then personally I’d be going for the individual crayons
As a couple you could combine the box of crayons with a sheet of paper for drawing in – basically a big piece of cardboard stuck onto your front!
If you’re feeling very creative you could use two pieces of cardboard, one on your front and one on your back – write coloring book on the front one and you now have a crayon inspired couples costume idea!
So which crayon Halloween costume is your favorite? I’m going with the purple unisex crayon as my outfit of choice.
