Halloween costumes

Posted by Kathy Morgan on September 29, 2006, 11:36 am

I would really like to make Halloween costumes for my husband and me
this year, but I have absolutely no ideas about what I'd like to make.
What are the rest of you planning? I'm hoping for some great inspiration
here. You'all are very talented and imaginative, so I'm open to
suggestions.

Not making any this year, but DH and I dress in Renaissance garb twice
- once for a wedding and once for family pictures. For the wedding, he
had a long tunic and leggings with a huge feathered hat and I had a
noblewoman's gown. For the pictures, he was a Scottish woodsman and I
was of the merchant class.

You can always go as pirates, police and criminal, salt and pepper,
mustard and ketchup (catsup), black and white, lemon and lime....just
think of all the pairs you have heard of in daily life. I had a site
that had couple costumes...some were hysterical....like the one where
the woman was dressed as an electrical outlet and the man was dressed
as an electrical cord. Now, I would never wear these with my hubby,
but they made me laugh.....plug of the cord was in a
rather....um...appropriate hardly seems the word, but you get my
drift....place on the man's costume

At age 75, I don't wear costumes any longer, but some of the grandchildren
go all out. The 18YO DGD is wearing a poodle skirt of red satin(bought at
Hancock's), and made by her Mom. It will have the usual white poodle
appliqué, also in satin. She is wearing a pink bow on her ponytail and old
saddle oxfords, she has. Your husband could dress as "Fonzie" from Happy
Days, and you'd be the perfect jitterbugging couple of the 50s.

A few years ago I made costumes for my DH and myself of Ragady Ann and
Ragady Andy. We were a big hit :)

Last year I was a 'bad fairy'. Year before that I made a long slinky
'vampiress' dress out of stretch velvet. My husband has been a cowboy, a
Hogwarts Wizard, and Jack the Ripper recently.

We're not having a party this year, if I do anything I'm thinking I'll
dig out my cat ears and maybe draw some whiskers on my nose.
