    Last year I sewed my first (2) halloween costumes. I was Princess Buttercup (I made the dress with a Simplicity pattern) and my boyfriend was the Dread Pirate Roberts (made his shirt, mask, and do-rag) from The Princess Bride.

    LOVED it.

    i seriously can only remember ONE halloween costume but it’s probably not the best one… my friend & i dressed like ‘hookers’. now, we didn’t wear fishnets or anything but we put our hair in high side ponytails & teased the crap out of them & then wore t-shirts as skirts & hiked them up. we just wore a regular shirt on top. i don’t know what we were thinking! we were probably about 11 or 12 & we were from a small town so we had no idea what REAL hookers looked like. :P

    thanks for this great giveaway, the owls are sooooo super cute!!! :)

    My favorite/best costume had to be going as an old Jewish man. I borrowed my grandmother’s pants and wooden cane (she was shorted than me so the pants were cropped and baggie) and my grandfather’s button up sweater and hat. I had a big stuffed pillow “stomach” and cut the tail off a stuffed horse I had won at the carnival two months earlier and used it as bushy eyebrows and a mustache. For the whole evening, I made everyone call me Mr. Weinstein.

    I think that had to be the best one since it was one of the last Halloweens that both my grandparents were still living and they thought my outfit was rather funny. :)

    Okay in High School I went as the scary little girl from The Ring! Yup it was awesome! and every one else at my school was dressed cute and hot. lol…

    My best halloween outfit would probably be the one I’m making right now! I’m planning to be Pikachu, so I’m making the ears and tail, buying a yellow sweater to paint on and some face paint! Real cheap and easy, but I think it’ll be adorable!

    My best halloween costume ever was a monarch butterfly. My dad cut wings out of light-weight wood and then painted the pattern on exactly. I wore a black leotard with black tights and little antennas on a headband. It was hard to hold a candy bag while I was holding my wings up, but I loved that costume! I even won a little kid costume contest with it! :)

  19. Amy says

    October 13, 2011 at 8:28 pm

    I’d say my best costume would be from a few years back. I rarely dress up for Halloween, but that year I was invited to a party with my theater friends and had to go all out. I went as Work-out Barbie and wore my ballet leotard, legwarmers, short pink shorts, and a hot pink sweat band with a high ponytail. But my sister’s costume was far better. She won best costume of the night as Michael Jackson. She used her theater makeup skills to contour her face. It was great :) The picture of us in character is one of my favorites of us. (If I had a Twitter account, I would follow you both.)

    Back before I was a mom (read, skinny, lol), I had a fantastic Catwoman costume. It was based on the Michelle Pfeiffer version and was so incredible. My mom sewed it for me. I still can’t believe I got away with wearing it. Thanks for the giveaway! I just love the owl! :)

    One of my favourite Halloween costumes was the one I put together my senior year of high school after a friend gave me the idea. I was a tornado—I wore all grey, and sewed random stuff like plastic farm animals and trees and even a miniature John Deere tractor—onto my clothes. And I spun around a lot, LOL.

    I love Halloween and costumes. One I really enjoyed my husband and I did together. I wore a suit and carried a large check and a bunch of fake red roses, and I wore a bathrobe with face cream and curlers. He was the Publisher’s Clearing House Prize Patrol guy and I was the winner.

  24. Jennifer says

    The most memorable, funniest, and probably best costume I had was to dress up as a bunch of grapes. I wore green sweats and a green jacket, then my mom pinned a bunch of purple balloons all over me! Lol

  25. Erin says

    October 16, 2011 at 1:36 pm

    I had two that I liked… one, worn to a frat party, was a nun costume. The other one, I dressed up as a dented traffic cone, complete with tire tracks across the front of it.

  26. Bella says

    My best Halloween costume was probably from two years ago. I dressed up as a canvas! I had on an off-white/beige, long sleeve shirt with off-white/beige pants. I drew pictures and wrote quotes all over it. I also drew swirls all over my face for fun (I figured – hey, it can be a canvas, too!). When I went trick-or-treating, I carried around a bag of Sharpies so that the people who gave me candy could draw pictures in the empty spaces. By the end of the night, “the canvas” was pretty covered with all sorts of pictures. It was really neat.

    Thanks for the chance at this giveaway!

    My best Halloween costume was mutated Rainbow Brite! The eye holes on the mask we picked up didn’t line up with my eyes, so we cut holes over the mask eyes. :)

    My best Halloween costume was being a black cat – I simply wore black Underarmour, made myself a tail and ears. Why was it the best costume? Because it kept me warm!

    Well, one time I was lazy and was a ninja. That means I just wore a black shirt and black pants. Not the best costume ever but I still wanted to share it with you.

    Thanks for the giveaway! My best costume? Bubblegum under the table: I wore a pink sweatsuit stuffed with batting and put a styrofoam table on my head complete with place settings!

    Hi,
    My most ridiculous Halloween costume was when I was a young girl. I was Noah and I had a giant ark made out of cardboard, with shoulder straps and perched on the “deck” where some of my stuffed animals. Of course there was the gratuitous cotton ball beard as well.

    My best Halloween costume was when I dressed as Charlie Chaplin at the age of 9. The kids at school kept trying to touch my moustache!
