That is definitely me at parties. If I could find/make an adult Sulley costume from Monsters Inc, I would absolutely wear it. I love dressing up in costumes. Here are five DIY Halloween costumes from previous posts to inspire you.
Number One: Katniss Everdeen
If your hair is long enough to braid (or you happen to own a long wig), this Hunger Games inspired outfit will be a piece of cake!

You will need:
- hair long enough to braid
- leather jacket
- boots
- neutral colored clothing
- bow and arrow (if you can get your hands on these)
Number Two: Anne Taintor Fifties Housewife
I adore Anne Taintor's vintage style 1950s housewife illustrations with hilariously sarcastic captions. The basic requirements are an apron, red lipstick and a big, vapid smile.

You will need:
- fifties style dress
- apron
- red lipstick
- kitchen utensils
Number Three: Walking Dead Zombie Victim:
Crafting a zombie costume would look awesome, but involves A LOT of work, so allow me to suggest an alternative: zombie bite victim: pre- rigor mortis. Transform yourself into a horrified, half dead, freshly eaten zombie meal with minimal effort. This stage of zombification doesn't involve make up, stumbling, or creepy rubber prosthetic skin to mimic a decaying face.

You will need:
- an outfit to tear a part
- lots of blood (I used Simply Spray Fake Blood)
Number Four: Miss Frizzle
So this wasn't originally a halloween costume, but as a child I was all about Magic School Bus books. I thought about Miss Frizzle the entire time I was making this dress. Wouldn't it be a fun costume?

You will need:
- Galaxy dress
- fun shoes
- big, curly hair
Number Five: Greek Goddess
The Greek Goddess is kind of a Halloween Costume staple. Just like the basic ghost costume, this outfit starts with a simple white sheet.
You will need:
- a white sheet
- gold sandals
- fake vines for a crown

ReplyDeletehaha, that's me too. I'm not into those "sexy" costumes. I was Professor McGonagall last year.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, I just discovered your blog through your Etsy shop. Wow! I'm really digging your Sylvanian Families posts--too cute!

We know they love sweets! ;-) xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteThese are some really good ideas for costume parties. My friend just asked me to decorate an event space he’d rented to hold a “Cosplay week” and he was asking me to come dressed as well. I think I’ll just borrow some ideas from here. Thanks, and happy holidays!!
