Finding Halloween Costumes?


Question:Does anyone know where I can find really detailed and not so cheaply put together fantasy costumes for adult males? I am looking for a male fairy costume or something along those lines for Halloween...any suggestions?


Answer:Just Google "Halloween Costumes" and you'll have more than you can deal with I'm sure. And bear in mind that just because you've specified "male fairy costume" doesn't mean you should discount costumes meant for females. It's Halloween for God's sake! Anything goes!

If you're looking for something "not so cheaply put together" however, you may have to start with a "foundation outfit" from an online or retail source but then "dress it up" to your own specifications. Many of the hobby stores now already have their Xmas stuff up. While I personally think that's a crime, it IS a boon to the costume builder! Wander through the Xmas section and see what might go with your "foundation outfit." Tinsel? Beaded garlands? Some flashy ornaments hot glued together to make a hat a la Carmen Miranda? Battery-operated strings of Xmas lights? Silk flowers? The possibilities are endless but YOU have to decide what you want your look to be and how to achieve that. Try wandering around a craft store looking at things with NO preconceived plan in mind and see what catches your eye. Then use that as a starting point to build up your outfit.
