HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
- BUYING GUIDE |
|
One of the things
that makes this holiday so great is that you can dress up as any
fantasy you want and have your persona excepted. Over the past few
years, Halloween has become an enormous draw to adults and their
Halloween festivities. Popular Halloween costume classics vampires,
ghosts and other
scary characters. But Halloween night is also a very sexy
holiday. Costumes portraying enchanting Witches and
seductive Vampires are always a great choice, and let us not
forget the Mistress of the Dark herself,
Elvira.
Its also a perfect time for
couples to dress up together
as anything they want to be from a Mad
Scientist
and Nurse to a Playboy and his Bunny, the possibilities
seem endless!
And why
not, Halloween is the one time of the year that
almost anything goes, allowing people to live out fantasies, if only for this one night.
A costume is a costume...not!
The quality of Halloween costumes varies greatly.
Needless to say, the price is usually a good indicator
as to the quality of a costume, but not always. Since
Halloween comes only once a year, you want your costume
to look great, and its worth spending a little more to
really stand out in a crowd.
Many online costume
stores offer a large selection of unusual costumes that
can't be found in department stores, or even Halloween costume shops.
Plus, shopping online allows you to shop well in advance of
Halloween, avoiding the last-minute crowds and empty
shelves, all without leaving your home.
Order your Halloween costumes well in advance of
October 31st. This
gives you time to make sure that it fills your needs,
and gives you time to accessorize. Many online retailers do not
actually stock the products they sell. They will pass
the order to a distributor and the product(s) will be
dropped shipped to you. The problem is that since they
don't actually stock their own products it often takes
longer for you to receive your order, or they might be
out of stock. We suggest that you only order from
reliable online retailers.

such as those at
your local Halloween costume store or
those you've used before.
You may
want to use your favorite costume over, year after year.
This will require some care in
storing your costume and
possibly some repair. Make sure, before
you put it away until next year, that it is free of make-up
stains or rips or tears. Launder it according to
manufacturers instructions and repair any damage to it.
Invest in a garment bag to store it in and it will be ready
for next years use when you want it.
