Best Halloween Costumes
Published 10.14.2008 | Permanent Link
These Halloween Costumes are still in stock! Usually, this close to Halloween, it's slim pickins' out there.
Here are some of our favorites this year:
Children's Butterfly Costume
This gorgeous butterfly costume is made by Wovenplay which is the most beautiful children's costume/ dress-up clothes we've ever seen. You can buy most of the line at nonchalantmom and Tiny McSmall. Below are some other favorites for Wovenplay.
Children's Pirate Costume
Children's Cowgirl Costume
Both costumes by Wovenplay and available at nonchalantmom and Tiny McSmall.
Children's Superhero Costumes
We love this cool superhero costume that can be used year round. There are several color options that will please both boys and girls. You buy a cape, mask and cuffs at Mahar Drygoods.
Children's Unicorn Costume
We love this costume because 1) it's perfect for the really cold-weathered parts of the country because it works well over your kid's coat, and 2) it allows you and your child explore your creativity as well. You buy the hood, and tail and add the rest. It is also available as Dinosaur, Lion or Puppy Costumes. They are all available at the Magic Cabin.
Snow White and Sleeping Beauty Costume
This is a reversible dress that is meant for pretend play, but we don't see why it can't serve double duty as a Halloween costume. True, it may not fit perfectly (it's one size fits all), but your daughter (or son) will be so happy to be a princess that she (or he) won't care about the fit. Plus, you get two princesses for the price of one. Score!
This dress (as well as other reversible options) is available at FAO Schwarz.
Little Red Riding Hood Costume
Just add a basket to this red cloak and your little girl is transformed into Red Riding Hood. Available also at Magic Cabin.
Children's Dragon Costume
Usually Pottery Barn is all sold out by this time, but the price on this one was just slashed (although still on the very high side). But this is a real statement costume, if we say so ourselves. And, it can be played up as both cute or scary depending on your child's Halloween persona.

About this column
This is a year-round Holiday column. Kids love Holidays. As parents we have come to appreciate how Holidays seem to help structure our lives. Plus, any excuse to have fun sounds good to us!
We'll admit it, now that we're parents, we secretly look for Holidays to celebrate and between National, Secular, Unofficial and Bizarre Holidays, we think there are enough days out there to keep us inspired every week.
This column will be a place where you can get inspiration for how to enjoy time with your kids. Crafting projects and ideas will be posted on Thursdays by our brilliant contributors (see below). Other fun ideas will be posted here throughout the week as the inspiration hits us!
About our Craft Contributors
Ellen Luckett Baker is the author of the long thread, a blog about handmade goods. She has always enjoyed making things, but the flexibility of staying at home with her two daughters along with the creative inspiration they provide has led her to craft on a daily basis. Combining her love of graphic design and sewing, she has created an Etsy shop selling machine embroidery designs and sewing patterns.
Ellen lives in Atlanta with her husband and two young daughters. She holds a B.A. in Art History and a Master's of Public Administration with a focus in Non-Profit Management.
Cindy Hopper was fortunate to be raised in a family who appreciated the arts. This background led to a Bachelor's Degree in Art Education. With a keen eye for design and color, Cindy has continued her love of art and is now passing her creative skills on to her three children. Cindy's family and friends are the beneficiaries of her passion for fun and meaningful creative projects. Cindy's personal blog, Skip to My Lou, has taken her love of a project to new levels. Postings keep the family busy -– from testing new recipes for holiday treats to designing and building floats for a neighborhood parade to making fabric rolls to hold crayons to creating themed parties. Cindy seems to have an unending supply of ideas for gifts, parties and rainy days.
Brenda Ponnay is a stealthy secret agent who juggles parenthood to her adorable daughter by day and freelance graphic design by night. Whether it's painting, baking, drawing, making castles out of card board boxes or just doing the laundry with flair, Brenda Ponnay has finally discovered (at the ripe old age of thirty-six) that what really makes her happy is being creative every single day.
Brenda lives in Southern California with her husband, daughter, three cats and thirty-seven pet birds. You can read about all her crazy adventures on her personal blog: Secret Agent Josephine.
