The Smurfs-Smurfette Child Costume

While the new movie brings these old forest friends into the new world filled with cities, the old school costume themes will probably make a big comeback as well. Can’t figure out which smurf you want to be this Halloween? Let us help you out.

For girls, there’s really only one smurf that you can be, and that would be Smurfette. This blonde haired, blue skinned smurf is easy to costume as.

Simply paint yourself blue (or get a blue bodysuit) and wear a white dress. Blue facepaint and a blonde wig are musts. White shoes and eyelash extensions are excellent choices for accessories.

In Smurfs, her flirtatious personality will definitely charm a new generation. You can definitely expect Smurfette to be a retail costume, since she is the only female smurf available.

The Smurfs – Papa Smurf Adult Costume

Papa Smurf is one of the most popular Smurfs characters of all time, and also one of the most recognizeable.

Still blue in body as all other smurfs, Papa Smurf has one major difference. His outfit of pants and a cap is red instead of white. He also has a white beard.

Chances are that Papa Smurf costumes will be hitting the shelves before Halloween 2011 begins.

Everyone can tell that smurfs are perhaps one of the most easy costumes to turn into a DIY project. Smurfs are very easy to dress up as, since the costumes are so simple.

The basic smurf costume is a pair of white slacks and a white cap. Just add blue skin and some white shoes, and you are ready to be smurfed.

The Smurfs – Deluxe Smurf Adult Costume

Dressing up as a smurf will probably require a lot of facepaint, and a lot of bodypaint. However, due to the affordable cost of the rest of the costume, it probably won’t be too much of a strain on the average budget.

It should be noted that applying large quantities of facepaint and bodypaint will take a lot of time.

When dressing as a smurf, take an hour or even two in order to apply your makeup correctly. Chances are that if you have a long night ahead, you will also need touch-ups.

Add a tube of blue paint to your bag if possible. If you really want to make a great smurf costume, you are also going to have to buy a smurf tail.

The Smurfs-Smurf Child Costume

There are several basic smurfs in the new movie who are simply indistinguishable from each other. This means that you can spend a minimal amount of money in order to become a real smurf from the new Smurfs movie.

Smurfs are a very easy costume to put together once you manage to apply all the makeup. For a shortcut, consider getting a blue bodysuit and gloves.

Of course, smurf costumes (even the basic ones) are expected to hit the stores right before Halloween.

From the 1980s cartoon, Brainy Smurf will be a popular choice. His costume, similar to all other smurfs, is only marked by his glasses. Simply buy a smurf outfit and add a pair of glasses. It’s just that simple.

It should also be mentioned that Brainy Smurf’s popularity will be boosted by his appearance in Smurfs. Out of all the smurf costumes, Brainy Smurf is the easiest unique smurf costume to create.

The Smurfs-Smurfette Infant/Toddler Costume

Lastly, one option that few people remember is the evil wizard Gargamel. Simply get some black or purple robes, tie them with a rope, and style your hair like the old evil wizard.

Gargamel has black hair, but has a bald spot. Out of all of the characters that are features in the Smurfs movie, he’s one of the easiest to dress up as. After all, there is no blue paint to apply.

Because of the very communal nature of the Smurfs, this is an excellent choice for large groups of friends who want to have a matching theme to their party.

For party planners, a Smurfs-movie themed Halloween party is a great way to get amazing photos of all of your favorite smurfs together in your house. Smurfette can be paired with almost any other smurf as a couples costume theme, too.

Lady Gaga Poker Face Costume

The first thing that you will probably need to find is a copy of one of her outlandish dresses. In this category, you have the infamous meat dress, the bubble dress, and many different dresses made of metal, leather, and glitter.

Currently, one of the most popular Lady Gaga outfits that is available for Little Monsters to purchase is the blue swimsuit outfit.

Her costume from the VMA’s is also a very good choice for people who enjoyed her appearance during that show.

However, because of the one of a kind style that Gaga is known to have, many of her outfits can be DIY projects. In order to start making your own Lady Gaga costume, make sure to buy lots of glitter, a glue gun, and wild fabric.

Lady GaGa Blue Swimsuit Costume

Putting together a Lady Gaga outfit includes the footwear. Long thigh high boots, knee high funky heels, and also outlandishly cut shoes can all be incorporated into a great Lady Gaga costume.

Many of her shoes are over the top, so if you don’t have the budget to splurge on some Versace shoes like the Mother Monster herself, don’t worry. Grab a glue gun, and glue sparkles, gems and spikes to a pair of discount shoes. The more outlandish the shoe, the better.

Makeup is both easy and difficult at the same time. Although Lady Gaga is known for her outlandish looks, the makeup is usually relatively simple.

Lady Gaga’s makeup is easy to copy as long as you have the right tools, an image of her to mimic, and a certain level of skill in makeup application. Unfortunately, people who aren’t used to using makeup may find themselves needing extra help.

Lady Gaga VMA White Performance Costume

A lot of the makeup designs that she uses require sharp lines and bolder colors, which can be a little difficult for the inexperienced makeup artists.

Need help figuring out where to start? Bold red lipstick usually is a good place to start, as is makeup that is slightly paler than your regular skin tone.

Accessories are a major selling point when it comes to the pop superstar. With her zany style, adding the right accessories can make or break a Lady Gaga costume.

Why not add matching gloves, or her classic Lady Gaga painted sunglasses to the mix?

In the music video for “Paparazzi,” she had a very unique “Mickey Mouse” style sunglass set to wear, which is also expected to be a very popular choice this Halloween.

She has also been seen wearing white gloves, black gloves, fishnet stockings, and other very 1980s-themed clothes. Overall, there is a lot of freedom when it comes to choosing your accessories for a Lady Gaga costume.

Lady Gaga Headscarf

Try to flip through magazines to look for accessories that you might be able to mimic, or at least purchase at a Halloween shop.

Of course, Lady Gaga is also known for her frequently color- and style-changing hair. There are many wigs out on the market that allow you to mimic almost any look she has worn throughout the years.

Long platinum blonde hair is a very common choice for Lady Gaga costumes, but the “bow tie” hair wig that she wore still remains to be the most iconic hair style to date.

Lately, Lady Gaga has been spotted wearing turquoise locks instead of white or platinum blonde, too. This might be a great new trend to incorporate into your Lady Gaga costume.

Lady Gaga Curly Blonde Wig

Because of the fame that she holds, and also because of the loyalty of her fans, Lady Gaga costumes are expected to be spotted at concerts throughout the country.

These aren’t just Halloween costumes; many of Lady Gaga’s fans, also known as Little Monsters, wear them regularly to her concerts. Consider asking a very devoted fan for more advice when putting together your Lady Gaga costume today.

Batman Brave & Bold Toddler Child Costume

Batgirl Deluxe Adult Costume

The Joker Adult Costume

Of course Batman then wasn’t exactly what we know of as Batman now. And batman costumes reflect as much, since the character himself has become darker and more variable both in how he acts and what he represents. “Chaotic good” is still his modus operandi, but batman ends up being true neutral in situations more than he once did.

You can see this in Frank Miller’s re-imagining of Batman in his epic 1980s comic book series “The Dark Knight.” Batman’s motives hadn’t changed, but his internal foundations had, and even the batman costumes he wore had a darker and more sinister look. The Dark Knight was truly dark, a man of contradictions and moral ambiguities who, with each passing chapter became even less the traditional superhero and more something entirely new and unexpected. This contrast and depth of character is what made The Dark Knight such a smash hit in the first place, and the batman costumes that came out of that series’ success reflect the change.

Teen Titans DC Comics Robin Muscle Chest Deluxe Toddler Child Costume

Of course, a few very powerful and successful movies also came out of that series’ success, the first of which was Tim Burton’s 1989 masterpiece “Batman.” In it, the batman costumes such as Batman’s own suit, as well as the costumes of the Joker and other characers, all mirrored what Miller had imagined in his graphic novel. As more sequels were made, the batman costumes strayed further and further from the source material to eventually become a parody of what it once was. The nadir was Joel Schumacher’s 1997 travesty, “Batman and Robin”, which is considered by many to be one of the worst films ever made. And rightly so.

Gotham Girls DC Comics Harley Quinn Adult Costume

The franchise was rehabilitated starting in 2005 with Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins, and followed by the 2008 film The Dark Knight. Critics weren’t exactly enamored of these films – and to be honest they don’t even compare to Burton’s original effort – but they’re a significant step up from what Schumacher provided.

Alice Peasant Dress Adult Costume

Electric Mad Hatter Adult Costume

Harlow Quinn Child/Teen Costume

You can easily have the Alice in Wonderland theme in your Halloween party. Whether you want to dress up like Alice herself, or the Queen of Hearts, or the always-popular Cheshire Cat, or the hooka-smoking caterpillar, you have a litany of choices that no other story can provide.

Personally I think the best of the Alice Wonderland costumes is the Dormouse. He’s the forgotten one at Alice’s tea party, which features The Mad Hatter, The March Hare, Alice and the forgotten Dormouse. He’s a small, nearly silent, drunk. It’s the perfect role to play at a Halloween party if you’re so inclined, and easy costume to do, and if you can convince your other friends to go as the other characters, more’s the better. As in the film and book, you can even have someone go as the table (which itself was alive in Carroll’s story.)

The fun part about Alice In Wonderland costume is that they can work as subversion on several levels, the first being that which Carroll originally intended. But it’s also worth remember that Alice In Wonderland herself is now a symbol of purity and innocence in a culture gone awry with sexuality; thus, “Sexy Alice In Wonderland” or Enchanting Queen of Hearts is a very popular costume today for young women. There’s something absolutely delightful about making something as wholesome as a Disney cartoon into an exhibition for the very basest of impulses which Walt Disney himself abhorred. One suspects that Carroll would approve of the decision.

Queen of Hearts Child Costume

Of course, the other characters are even more fun. The Mad Hatter is probably the best of the Alice Wonderland costumes because he’s so recognizable and fun. Remember the riddle he poses to Alice, “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” It’s meant to be unsolveable, and if you’re really willing to get into character and give it a go you can just talk gibberish all night and win plaudits for it. Sounds like a great costume idea to me!

With so many characters to choose from in Alice in Wonderland costumes, you can find costumes for almost everyone in all ages and sizes so the entire family can have fun at the Halloween party!

1.     Go To A Thrift Or Charity Store

You will be amazed at just how many of these stores may be able to provide you with a dress that can be made into a Cinderella costume.  Ideally you want a dress that has a fitted bodice along with a sweetheart neckline and preferably capped sleeves.  Plus you should be looking for those where the skirt reaches to the floor at all possible.

If you are having problems finding one that matches these requirements then look for those that can be altered.  For example choose a dress that has the right bodice and neckline but long sleeves which can then be shortened.  You could also for example look to see what long skirts that they have and which can then be attached to the bottom of the dress you have selected.

This Cinderella costume idea is for those who don’t have enough time to shop for or make their own.  Along with visiting your local costume rental stores there are a number of online stores you can use as well.  The great thing about renting costumes from these is that everything you need, dress, shoes, gloves, choker and headwear are proved as part of the rental costs.  However, if you do intend to rent your costume make sure that you arrange this well in advance of the date.

One of the first things you will find that you are not limited to wearing the kind of costume that was worn by actors like Christopher Lee in the horror movies of the 60’s.  Yes black is an important colour to vampires but can be matched up with dark and deep reds as well.

It is important for the men that they wear an old fashioned black suit along with a crisp white shirt which is high collared.  As for the women a long very tight black or deep red dress should be what they opt to wear for their costume.  Plus the men should if at all possible  wear a black cape.  If you are having problems getting hold of such an item one can easily be made using a about 2 to 3 yards of black fabric which you then hold around the neck using a chain pinned on either side.

As well as getting the right clothes for your Halloween vampire costumes you need to make sure that you have the right accessories.  It is important that you wear a good pair of fangs as they will help to create not only the look but make you feel even more like the blood sucking creature.  There are plenty of places online where cheap but comfortable plastic fangs can be purchased.

Another thing to further make sure that your Vampire costume for this Halloween is really authentic is some fake blood.  Dribble some down each side of your mouth and onto your costume to create the perfect image.  However, it is a good idea to test the fake blood you are intending to use beforehand as you don’t want it to be causing unwanted side effects in you.

When it comes to make up for your Halloween costume as a vampire not much is required.  Really all you need to do to give your skin that undead pallor is to cover your face with some grey or white powder.  Again it is important that you test the powder out on an area of skin where it cannot be seen to ensure that it won’t cause harm to your body.  However, today there are plenty of places where you can buy such powders specifically design for being worn by sensitive skin.

To further add to the undead look along with the grey or white powder on your face use a much darker colour under your eyes.  This will give them a more haunted look.  The kind of look that will hopefully draw people in and become one of your victims.

Above we have provided some things that can further help to improve the many vampire costume ideas being offered online.  If you keep these in mind then you will create a look for this Halloween that everyone will want to follow next year.

Lil Mermaid Toddler/Child Costume

Glitter Mermaid Fantasy Adult Costume

Magical Mermaid Child Costume

In order for you to make an inexpensive mermaids costume for your little princess this Halloween you will need the following:-

1.    A yard of shimmery or sequined material which should be blue, green or aqua in colour.  This is what you are going to be using for the mermaids main body.  The shiny the material then the more illusion it will create that these are fish scales.  Although this material is expensive by purchasing off cuts or remnants can help to reduce these costs further.  Plus you may be able to purchase enough to create half sleeves to match the main body of the costume.

2.    When buying the fabric for the main body of the Mermaids costume make sure that you purchase some tulle or stiff netting.  This is what you will be using for creating the tail of the costume and about 1/3 of a yard should be more than enough.  It is important that you choose a color which contrasts with the fabric used to make the body.

3.     If the costume is to be worn inside only then you will need to get a yard of ribbon in a colour which matches the main fabric and is ½ inch wide.  Whereas if the child will be wearing hers to go trick or treating in then purchase a long sleeve t-shirt to go underneath.  You must make sure that the colour of the t-shirt matchers her skin tone or the colour of the fabric used to make the main body of the mermaid costume.

4.    Once you have all the necessary fabrics as mentioned above and don’t forget to purchase some thread at the same time.  Remember to select thread colours that match or complement the colours of the fabrics chosen.  When you have all these items together now you can begin to create your little princesses own mermaid costume for this Halloween.

Tip 2 – You must read the size charts carefully as in many cases when a costume is purchased the seller won’t allow refunds.  However, if they don’t offer a refund look for those stores where they allow you to exchange the item for a different size or a different costume altogether.  By checking the sizes carefully beforehand will ensure that you are keeping your costume costs down.  In many cases you will need to pay the cost to return any item to the seller as well as the costs to have the new item shipped out to you.
