I’m so glad I didn’t have a mass unfollowing because I posted some photos of myself on Monday. I will do it more often now! Just kidding, I won’t. It’s too much working trying to look nice all the time ๐Ÿ˜‰ LOL

Anyways, after my last post about my daughter’s latest costume I thought I’d write a roundup for those of you who are new to my blog and which shows all the costumes I made for her with the intent of having comfortable dress-up outfits without annoying seams, velcro and tags like the store bought versions.

All 4 are very similar because it’s what we both like and they are fairly easy to create without any sewing involved. While I like to DIY, I hate to sew. The only thing you’ll catch me sewing is easy pillow covers and a curtain hem maybe.

And if you are new to my blog and family life then you can catch up on my daughter’s struggles HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE (and her latest update HERE). Making her a costumes that she is comfortable with has been my mission every year.

A plain shirt dress and my favorite face paint are the starting point for all four of them.

For the first two outfits I actually used the same black dress. The first year it was just bigger. It worked out great.

The rest are the accessories I mention in every single costume post, like duct tape, capes, roses, lace, pom-poms, ribbon, wigs, tights, crown, hat and gloves. Maleficent (click HERE), Queen of Hearts (click HERE), Sugar Skull (click HERE), Sad Clown (click HERE).

Also on Friday I will be participating in the Blogger Stylin Home Tours Halloween edition. So check back for some more fun.

    A sugar skull is not a Halloween costume, it’s culture specific to people of color

      While I agree with you that it is culturally specific, I do disagree with you that it’s not a Halloween costume. When you research Halloween costume several explanations come up: “A style of dress, including garments, accessories, and hairstyle, especially as characteristic of a particular country, period, or people. 2. An outfit or a disguise worn on Mardi Gras, Halloween, or similar occasions. 3. A set of clothes appropriate for a particular occasion or season.”
      This is specific to a country and people who dress up to celebrate the deceased which is also what Halloween is about so this particular outfit is quite fitting for the occasion.
      I’m from Germany and I frequently run into people dressed as Bavarian Germans in a Dirndl or Lederhosen here in the US at Halloween and I consider that a costume/Halloween costume when other people wear it. It’s also very culturally specific to my country and my people.
