Halloween Costume Ideas for Adults

October 13, 2009

Halloween costumeYou will need a large white bedsheet. Cut out a hole in sheet to fit over your head. Try to center the hole in the middle of length of sheet. You will need a round plastic clothes basket with most of bottom cut out to fit over your head and rest on your shoulders.

You will need assorted empty laundry containers such as detergent and fabric softener both liquid and powder and sheet boxes. Use yarn or string to attach items to sheet. I used safety pins to pin the string onto the sheet in random pattern. Use assorted clothing items such as socks, bras, undies, PJ's etc to drape over top of basket and hang onto sheet. The funnier the better.

Everyone loved my costume at the costume party we attended!

I'm open to any suggestions for quickly recreating the outfit Lady Gaga wears with her dancers at the bath haus in the Bad Romance video. I've got snaps, rivets, upholstery thread, and thin white vinyl. I don't have sewing experience or more than a day to get this done.

I am looking for inexpensive costumes for ladies with a Camelot theme. Something to be used over a black turtleneck and black slacks.

Maybe with a headpiece or a coat of arms theme. Any help is greatly appreciated.

For Halloween one year, I bought the ugliest dress I could find at the thrift store. It was a black sheath dress with yellow, white and gold shear collar and it was sleeveless. I wore black pantyhose and glued spiders and ants on the hose and dress.

Here is a photo of my son-in-law's Halloween costume. All hand made with cardboard, metal, plastics, etc. He always wins with his unique costumes.

Where can I find a free adult bunny costume pattern? I want one kind of like the one from "A Christmas Story" that Ralphie received as a gift.

Here are a few ideas:

  1. You can buy one of the colored wigs, short, blue or another color and paint you face like a punk rocker or something like Kiss.
  2. Advertisement

  3. Find an old wig from around the 1970's or so and buy this. Make sure it is hort. Now make a long black robe, some costume jewelry, and dress it up as you like. Now paint your face green or white so that you look sort of sick or dead.
  4. You can dress up like a dead cowboy. You just need some face paint, some jeans, shirt, and cowboy hard to make this one work.
  5. Many people go as zombies, witches (good and bad), and vampires.
  6. Go with someone famous like the Queen of England.

This link will give you tons of ideas. As for me, I have blown up purple balloons and was a grape cluster (hard to sit but still pretty cute). I have also just hot glued some cherrio type cereal to an old shirt and drizzled fake blood from each and I was a cereal killer. You can dress in a suit and cut out printed out pages from law books and be a "law suit". Hope these help.

My photographer husband is going to a Halloween costume party and wants to dress up in some way to include his camera, so he can take pictures there. Does anyone have any ideas?

Go as an old fashioned camera! (Like those used during the Civil War era) Make a replica camera from cardboard with space for the regular camera to shoot through. A cloth over his head and he's good to go.

How about an old time news reporter? Straw hat with press pass, striped shirt with sleeve holders, suspenders and neutral pants.

One half of my body looked like a man, and the other looked like a women. Very inexpensive. Go to a used clothing store to get the clothes.

A pirate is good, biker, state worker, baseball player, football player, a flasher, a cook; the main thing is does he want to make a suit or buy a suit?
