I’m going to be an elephant. It’s kind of a statement costume. I’m tired of my fuller framed friends being called elephants like it’s a bad thing. I’m going to go out and show everyone how beautiful, graceful & intelligent elephants are. Maybe the animal will eventually take on a more positive connotation :)

You could be a female version of a male character. I’m being Girl!Spock and a friend who I’ve recently converted to Star Trek it being Girl!Kirk.

beware of any poison ivy costume if you happen to make one. haha just a warning, i made one for anime boston this past year, and it was a real pain. i had to keep reapplying leaves and stuff. so just as a helpful hint: go with a premade one! :3

Well, the solution to losing leaves and attachments is to hand-sew them on in a few places rather than depend on glue.

Anna Reply:
October 13, 2009 at 9:12 pm

hehe that was my issue! every time i moved or put the costume on stitches would rip :P

Rickey Reply:
October 13, 2009 at 9:54 pm

Ooh. Well, at least if you machine stitch you should use a zigzag because that will not resist stretching. If you did that, not sure what to tell you!

Lola Reply:

Hmm… yeah I guess that would be hard… I was thinking more of painting most of it, and maybe sticking some leaves to the hair… or maybe buy plastic flowers with leaves. That might work?

thats what my ivy looked like. the leaves were hand stitched around the top of the leotard, and the top of the half skirt thing.

the makeup i used was a combination of lime criminal, and then googoomuck by aromaleigh. put the shadow on your lips and then spray it with a makeup sealant. it’ll stay on for hours.

Lindsay says:

I’m going to be “Swine Flu”! It sounds crazy, but I’m making my costume and it is amazing, such a statement piece!

Melinda says:

Oh dear god where do I begin! O.O For me Halloween is basically me going from party to party, and me not being caught in the same costume twice! What is even better is that the Rennisance Festival is going on right now to, so guess where I”ll be on halloween day! And not only that but Oni Con (anime convention) is going on the weekend of Halloween! (what am I doing to myself!)

So here’s my list of Halloween Goodies I’m working on!

Oni Con: Tifa Lovecraft with my skinny ripped jeans my combat boots with This Top and These Gloves In Pink!

Rennisance Festival: I’m making my own top hat (I know, its not rennisancy, but I’m sick of being 1 of many pirates) with tulle and lace with a nice hug ostrich feather accenting the top! With a Green Corset, Black skinny jeans and These Boots from Hot Topic.

Halloween Costume itself: Lady Kruger (I.e. Freddy Kruger if he were a girl) This has been part of an on going project of mine where I take male characters and turn them into fashionista girls (I’ve done Alex from Clockwork orange, Mr. Darcy, Jack Sparrow, and my favorite Tina The Tool Woman Taylor ^_^) This one is going to be fun. The boyfriend is going to put on latex burn makeup to one side of my face, on the other will be a mixture of Black lipstick (~_^) orange red and yellow eye shadow, with a pink and black striped shirt and pink gloves and brown shorts with combat boots (of course the knifed glove will be a staple, but girlied too ;)

I love dressing up, and probably will do this for some time. Heck! I dress up in my classroom for different periods in history, so far, the kids have loved the Flapper look! ^_^

I love the girlification of male characters – its a fantastic idea! I was actually watching youtube makeup videos for inspiration earlier (I’m still undecided! AHH!) and there’s a girl called Kandee who has done a fantastic Edward Scissorhands, you should check it out!

Kristi says:

well the band I am in is marching in a halloween parade and we’re going as cereal characters, I’m going as Captain Crunch.

For Halloween, I don’t know but I am going to a Samhain circle that night so I’ll have to think of something. I just don’t know, something futuristic/alien probably :P

Rickey Reply:

I wish there was a Samhain circle near where I live! Have fun, and blessed be!

Amber says:

I’d love to go as Emilie Autumn, the Ice Queen, or Mother Earth, but I’m kinda short on cash, so that won’t be happening this year. :/

My friend asked me to do a booth at our church’s Halloween carnival, and I suggested a Harry Potter booth. If the committee okays it, then maybe I could throw together a chep McGonagall costume.

If not, I could always go as the scariest thing imaginable–a “normal” person! (‘Cause I usually wear really funky clothes that look like Halloween or Renaissance costumes every day of the week, so for me to wear something “normal” would be a shocker!)

Emma says:

I’m stuck working from 5PM-2AM on Halloween (frown) but I’m still dressing up! I was originally going to go as Poision Ivy or a really twisted version of the Queen of Hearts or the Mad Hatter from Alice and Wonderland. But since I’m going to be serving and getting all hot and gross, I think I’m going to go with something simpler, like Hermione, something that has less extreme, more casual, easy to move in clothing and accessories.

Emily Nicole says:

I’m working on making three different costumes. One is the back-up for myself.

I want to make a Street!Joker and Harley. Based on the cartoon versions. I was gonna make these cute capri pants for Harley but i’m having trouble finding the material I need so…if that doesn’t work…

I’ve already designed a Mad Hatter costume. Dark green and periwinkle suit (got from Salvo. Just got to color it!) White button up with long sleeves and a crushed velvet-like corset to go on it. White spats and black boots. White lacey fingerless gloves and a hat to match the corset. Complete with periwinkle ribbon and hat card :)

Now…I just gotta pull it together! he he!

I’m going as Delirium from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman!

Alison says:

I am going to be Alice in Wonderland for Halloween. I’ve always been called Alison Wonderland, so now I have a complex. :) I had a very accurate Alice dress when I was a toddler. I’ve been yearning for a grown-up sized one, so my best friend’s mom and grandmother made me a wonderful Alice costume over the summer. It’s the real deal! No slutty Alices allowed! It’s the perfect Alice blue, and it has an adorable pinafore with tucks, ruffles, and heart pockets. I love it. I will be carrying a cupcake purse that has an attached tag reading, “Eat me.”

Thanks. :) I adore Lolita styles! I would wear Lolita fashions every day if I could. I wish that more American shops could grasp the idea that Lolita (like Alice) is not intended to be sexy, though.

Oh, I just looked at your Deviant Art page, and you are too cute and talented! I AM going to learn to sew one day soon.

Pinksky86 (Jackie) says:

This year I’m going as a My Little Pony. Fizzy to be exact. She’s one of the prettiest ponies in my opinion. She has a multi-colored hair and tail, eyes that sparkle, and she’a a unicorn pony. I thought you’d might like that. =) I told my friend what I was gonna be and she told me that I always go as things from my childhood. I guess that’s true cause last year I went as Princess Lolly from Candyland and the year before that I went as Rainbow Brite. I just love these magical characters and want to be them if just for one day!! =) Oh, btw, I love the make-up tutorial on Marie Antoinette. I can’t wait for the full photoshoot!! Great job!! =)

Lol…yeah I thought of going as Queen Frostine this year, but decided on a My Little Pony instead. I had a lot of fun as Princess Lolly though. =)

Suzanne C. says:

I think I get it. “let them eat cake!” So you decorated yourself like a cupcake =P Very cute, can’t wait to see the rest.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO BE!!! Somebody help me! Someone HELP ME FIGURE IT OUT! I had the best idea of a costume (it’s top secret what that was) I was going to make but time flew by and in a year I never figured out how to use my sewing machine (I can’t figure out how to assemble the spool thing) and I didn’t lose the weight I wanted, only around 25lbs. =( What’s creative that an overweight 19 year old can be? Torrid makes costumes in my size but they’re like $120+ after accesories and the shoes that go for a completely unoriginal and slutty outfit you’ll never wear again. I mean cleavage is great but why would obese girls want to flaunt their thighs?! My cellulite pale thighs might make people get confused “are you gretal or the moon?”!

If anyone has ideas for me I can sew by hand and there’s always the glue gun. What’s cute on fat girls?

kagitsune Reply:
October 13, 2009 at 4:35 pm

You could make the best of your curves and go for a Renaissance woman or even steam punk look. Light corset, with lots of browns, creams, bronzes, with long loose skirt and a peasant blouse! I think that could work. :3

Suzanne C. Reply:
October 13, 2009 at 5:30 pm

Thanks but I’m not sure what steam punk is. I’m researching right now it but i still don’t think I’m familiar enough to go as that.

Satsuma Reply:

My go-to costume is a disco ball! So much fun (for any size, mind you)– just a sparkly dress and probably black tights and lots and lots of twirling, of course.

It depends so much on what you like… Mary Poppins? Girl Bowie? Sparkly vampire (haha)? Superhero of your own invention? Superhero in disguise? Butterfly peddler? M.I.A.? Robots In Disguise? Fortune teller? Honeybee?

(P.S. With steampunk, think The Golden Compass– the movie, not the book. It’s an entire subculture based on pocket-watches and top hats and monocles, though I think it generally works better on guys… I’m not a corset person, but I do appreciate dapperness, haha.)

I should mention that money is an issue.I can’t spend a ton. Buy things used or stuff i can convince my parent’s I’ll use again practically. So no corsets. =( I thought of being “Octomom” while pregnant with a sweatsuit and giant stuffed stomach and wig but i don’t know where to find giant lips. So many great party stores have closed down. I got the idea from ‘The View’ where the lady was octomom with 8 babydolls.

You don’t have to look for giant lips! You can just apply lipstick outside of your lips — just a trick to make them appear bigger =]

I took an idea for my Halloween costume from my myspace handle – “Miss Anthrope”.

I’m going to be a dejected pageant girl – Miss Anthrope

I’m going to make a sash with pink letters and black bows. I’m going to wear a black halter dress, black fishnets, black boots. I bought a tiara that I’m going to spray paint black.

I have to work Halloween at a restaurant, I just figured if people don’t get it, I can tie in the whole misanthrope idea. I’ve printed out little definition slips of the word and I’ll just hand them out with a distasteful look.
