Ideas for halloween costumes!!!!!????!!!!?

SO, I have a fairly good idea of what I want to be. However, I really want a costume that I can scrape together (as opposed to going out and buying an official costume). I've looked on the internet, but I can't find that much VARIATION of ideas of how to go about the different costumes below. So even if someone answered about a particular costume you were going to answer about, go for it anyway :)

WITCH

PRINCESS - I'd use my grad gown for this one and go buy a tiara, fairly simple, but if you think of anything else :)

CAT WOMAN - what if I can't find really tight black clothes out there?

GENIE

GYPSY

I really like the idea of a genie and a gypsy.... The problem with the gypsy is finding a good long skirt with a cool pattern, and a good white blouse for the top (wouldn't mind if it was a shorter top even), and the problem with the genie is again, finding the shorter top, and cool bottoms.

Update:

I'm fairly handy with a needle, so go nuts with the creativity!!!!

    a banshee wear clothing that is like shimmery green or silver and white. make your hair look disheveled and maybe silver and white with glitter in it (silver and white) and tinsel or garland (again silver or white) you can put flowers and gems in your hair too and some twigs.

    you can be Gaia she is the mother earth goddess get a head wreath to wear with lots of flowers and ribbons in your hair a princess or fairy costume for the clothes maybe some temp tatts or just draw them on spiritual symbols or tribal or runes.

    a faery just need wings you can wear pants or a dress or skirt depends on what you want or if it is cold. make them your style maybe add glitter. Wings are pretty easy to find or you can make your own with wire and a mesh like material. you can also make your own head wreath with some wire and flowers and greenery and ribbons add glitter again if you like. maybe make a "dark faery"

    a fifties girl some saddle shoes ankle socks folded over a long "poodle" skirt like mid calf that is very twirly a soft sweater or sweater set or a blouse put your hair in a pony tail with a scarve and wear a smaller scarf around your wrist

    a cowgirl skirt or pants some boots a checked shirt vest a cowboy hat

    if going with friends you can all dress up like babies with onesies jammies with the feet baby bottles maybe a bib and a bonnett and pacifiers

    dress like dorothy get some red shoes if you can't find any glittering red shoes you can use glue and red glitter a white blouse and a blue and white checked skirt with suspenders made of the same material braid two pig tails tie with ribbon and carry a picnic basket

    an angel again wear what suits you pants skirt and top or dress make white and silver or gold get some wings or again make your own with wire and mesh cloth preferably white get white feathers and trim with gold and\or silver glitter and silver and\or gold tinsel or garland also make a halo with the above mentioned

    cat pants or skirt with tights and blouse or dress however you feel comfortable a headband with kitty ears you can buy a cat nose with whiskers a collor of some type like a choker necklace wear mittens on your hands for "paws' and a tail.

    red riding hood almost like the dorothy costume just add a red cloak or cape with a hood

    how about NYX goddess of the night clothing should be dark but shimmery you can add glitter dark ribbons in hair plus some clear gems in hair you can add some dark flowers or a head wreath with dark flowers and ribbons get a pair of dark fairy wings if you want to add that head wreath and wings you can make yourself wings make shimmery add gems like for stars

    ISIS white t shirt and white skirt or white pants or leggings or tights with a long white tulle skirt or tutu with glitter maybe a white corset or bustier a head wreath glitter gems in your hair arm bands or wrist bands a necklace that looks egyptian with turquiose orange oh i forget the other color make some ankhs some scarabs

    Lilith she is an elemental so earth tones add some sparkle add wings a head wreath hair gems you can go like the banshee with disheveled hair and add some twigs as well add some like hair wreaths but smaller for some arm bands and one around your ankle make those mainly leafy

    Valkyrie you can either go with the original dress as a fairy or banshee for the clothes then do some small braids entertwined with ribbons add hair gems use a hair wreath and smaller ones as in the Lilith costume as arm bands and on one ankle make leafy not flowery or go with the traditional two larger braids a horned helmet or just a plain helmet ( not all in viking lore wore horned helmets) maybe something like a xena costume or a roman soldier uniform for the skirt or what you like and a breastplate

    a geisha get a long or short oriental robe kimono whatever you feel comfortable in a wig with the hair in an updo get some hairsticks preferably with dangling things on them or make your own add some flowers and hair gems to your hair and a pack or pouch thing (not sure what they are called but you see them on the geisha) white stockings or sandels and thongs for your feet

  • For the gyspy, I'm sure a lot of charity shops would do them, for cheap as well. If that doesn't work, and you said you were good with a needle, just sew lots of patches of old clothes together to make a long skirt! Thats very gypsy-ish. And again a blouse from a charity shop would do, maybe sew some odd buttons onto it and tie the ends together at the front. And for the genie, well you can get some hareem pants, and maybe wear like a towel as a turban or something, i don't know...

    Hope this helped! <3

    Well, to find a cat woman costume, you'd either have to buy one from party city or any other costume store OR you can try to look around thrift stores.

    I believe long skirts are excellent, you're covered up with no restrictions of shorts.

    I think short dresses, coz you showcase more thighs, but really no matter both should go great
