I have gone through stints in my life where I made my own costume....for myself or now for my own child. It's so much fun to come up with an original idea and see it to fruition. In fact, that reminds me, I've got a ladybug costume I made a while back to show you. :-) However, there are times when, as a parent, you say....I could make that by hand....or I could just buy the costume they really like. Like this Ballerina Butterfly Costume here:
Super cool, right? I love that Blue Morpho look. I got a chance to review this costume from Costume Discounters and I have to say I, and the Munchkin, are very pleased. It is quite durable....it will definitely make it past Halloween. The colors are really vibrant and the skirt is totally poofy. There is nothing flimsy about this outfit. For $26.97, I would say it is a fairly good deal. I've certainly seen some costumes in stores that cost something comparable to that and were very cheaply made.
You can find plenty of kid's Halloween costumes at Costume Discounters. I'm a big fan of shopping online for specific costumes because you can almost always find what you are looking for. When I was a kid we used to just zip to Rite Aide and we were stuck with whatever they had for options. When you shop online at C.D., I guarantee you'll find plenty of options for boys or girls costumes.
Good luck with your shopping!! Right now they are offering a fun incentive....find a costume identical to one of theirs on the web (of lesser price) and they'll match the price......PLUS they'll take an extra 20% off.
