Costumes Blog

As a mother I hate seeing a costume that I spent good time and money on, being worn only once. There is nothing I appreciate more than finding a costume that can go from a Halloween costume to a dress up costume. I’ve been perusing a few of my favorite costume blogs in an effort to find good costumes that can go straight from the child to the dress up box on Halloween night. Here are some of my findings:

“CHILDREN’S costumes for everyday dress up and play:

There is a “disguise my size” section that has a great tropicana costume along with many other choices. For the plus size lady that’s not afraid to show a little skin there is a section for naughty or sexy costumes.

It also has a section of elegant costumes that are truly beautiful, filled with period style pieces. It contains a Robin Hood costume and a Native American costume that are wonderful. These costumes are not cheap but if you’re looking for elaborate than this is your section.

Honestly, you can find just about any costume you are looking for and they range in price from about $30 to $300.
