Going to a costume party later this month? Or need a costume for your trick-or-treater? I thought I’d pull together some online resources for easy costuming alternatives from what’s in the discount and party stores (i.e. latest popular movie themes). And now would be the time to order to you get your costume in time!
Animal themed costumes
The Jungle Store has animal costumes and masks for all ages. 
An inexpensive costume can be made by using a mask or face paint with a headband, sweats in the appropriate color and a tail. i.e. White clothing and the owl mask below would be quick and easy.
The Jungle Store’s costumes are not limited to animals. Check out these two!
Small kid themes
ArsaToys has some cute frilly girl costumes.
Costume Hub had some cute costumes for either boys or girls.
Adult costumes
Lingerie Diva has some fun adult costumes for women. Though some are very risqué and you should reserve for the bedroom! Warning: many images on this site are definitely R rated! Here’s some G rated examples.
The PhillyBurbs site has men's costumes organized by themes. Reading the review
s on the costumes is half the fun. As far as I can tell each costume has a link to a site where you can buy the costume if you desire. Here’s a sample costume.If you’re into making your own, fabric stores have easy patterns. I’ve also found pieces and parts of costumes at thrift stores (SHOP EARLY) for costumes for myself and kids.
Have fun!
