  • 7 Of The Best Female Halloween Costume Ideas

    Posted on September 13, 2011 by spooky

    Even though there’s a ton of great costumes out there, coming up with female Halloween costume ideas can often be overwhelming. One of the hardest decisions can be whether or not you want to go traditional, wild and off the wall or just something fun. However, if you want to do something different this year then here are 7 ideas for you:

    1) Lady Gaga

    Lady Gaga has been known for wearing ridiculous outfit after ridiculous outfit, making her the perfect choice for Halloween this year! You could choose to dress as Lady Gaga in the early days, with her trademark sunglasses and leotards. Or you can choose some of her iconic recent outfits, such as the controversial meat dress, the telephone hat, or her rock chick concert outfits. The right wig will make these instantly recognizable.

    2) Pirate

    There are plenty of pirate-themed female Halloween costume ideas to choose from. On the one hand, you have the sexy pirate options, with the full, short skirts and corsets. On the other, you can dress as the slightly more conservative female pirate who wears pants and a big frilly shirt.

    3) Warrior Princess

    If you’re a strong, powerful female then this is the costume for you. This is also the perfect way to complement your partner if he’s going as a Spartan warrior. The warrior princess means wearing a leather or earth-colored cloth with a cape and gladiator style sandals.

    4) The Morning After

    This cheeky Halloween costume involves dressing as a woman who didn’t make it home last night. Her hair is a mess, hair makeup is smudged, she’s still wearing last night’s clothes, and she may even have her skirt tucked into her underwear. I wonder what she got up to the night before?

    5) Medieval Dress

    Have you always fancied being Maid Marian for the day? A medieval dress will create the perfect look. All you’ll need is a long gown, with a bodice top and puffy sleeves, not forgetting the long, flowing hair.

    6) Disney Princess

    Just because we’re all grown up doesn’t mean we have to stop dreaming of finally becoming a princess! A princess costume can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be. If you’re a fan of the Disney movies then there are a huge number of officially licensed Disney costumes available to buy.

    7) Wicked Witch

    Last on the list is the classic witch costume. There are many ways to represent this Halloween favorite. One of the most fun is to go as the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz – complete with all over green skin! Or you could stick to the classic witch image with a black dress, stripy tights, a broomstick and the all-important witches hat.

    For a lot of fun, you can even mix and match these ideas. Try a Medieval witch or a Medieval princess or perhaps even a Wicked Princess. The possibilities are endless.

  • Unique Vampire Costumes For Women

    Posted on August 13, 2011 by spooky

    Vampire costumes for women have been a firm favorite at Halloween for many years now. Although we all have ideas about how the classic vampire can look, new shows and movies, such as True Blood and Twilight, have given women more scope for unique Halloween costumes than ever!

    The Classic Vampire Look

    Although there is a huge range of different female vampires out there in popular entertainment, vampire costumes for women almost always include a few basic elements…

    1) Pale Skin: Vampires don’t go out in the sun, so they tend to be a lot paler than living humans. Use white makeup, or foundation a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone, to recreate the “undead” look.

    2) Dark Eyes: Vampires tend to have darker eyes, so recreate this with some dark eye shadow on and below the lids. If you really want to take this further, you can even add some red or black contacts.

    3) Fangs: All vampires have fangs to make it easier to drain their victims. Although not all vampires keep their fangs out constantly, you’ll want to get hold of some fake fangs so that everyone knows exactly what you’re supposed to be dressed up as!

    Pam From True Blood

    If a sexy, modern vampire is the kind you want to go as then why not try dressing like Pam from True Blood? Some of Pam’s defining characteristics include her long, poker straight blonde hair, her bright red lipstick, and her sex appeal! She’s also known to wear a lot of leather and PVC while she’s on the clock at Fangtasia. And don’t forget the high heels and, of course, the vampire fangs!

    Akasha From Queen of the Damned

    This movie may have been released a while ago now, but the Akasha character is still one of the most famous and unique of all the female vampires. If you want to look a little different from all the other vampires out on Halloween, why not try to look like Aaliyah did in her famous role?

    Akasha’s costume is tribal and Egyptian, with a long skirt, coiled breastplates, belt and very detailed vampire crown. This won’t be an easy costume to recreate, but if you choose to do so you’ll certainly be the center of attention at any Halloween party! This costume is great for a bit of belly dancing, too!

    As you can see, there are ways to create unique vampire costumes for women if you think outside the box – you don’t have to stick to long black gowns and black hair!

  • Halloween Costumes For Pregnant Women: Some Themes To Work With Your Growing Bump

    Posted on August 10, 2011 by spooky

    Just because you’re expecting a child this Halloween doesn’t mean you have to cover up or limit yourself to plus size costume ideas! Halloween costumes for pregnant women can be just as fun and creative as anything else. Here are a few ideas to get you going.

    Paint Your Bump

    One of the most popular ideas for Halloween costumes for pregnant women is to use your bump as a prop. Many women paint it orange to look like a pumpkin and “carry” it around with them. This is a good idea as it works with a number of different costumes. For example you could dress as a farmer with the belly/ pumpkin coming out of a hole, or even more traditional Halloween characters such as a witch carrying the pumpkin.

    The Pregnant Nun

    This is another popular one among the list of Halloween costumes for pregnant women. This tongue in cheek costume involves dressing as a nun with a very noticeable baby bump. She’s obviously been up to something she shouldn’t have!

    Bun In The Oven Costume

    This is another funny costume idea: why not either buy a ready made costume or create an “oven” out of a box? Put a bun in there to represent the baby you’ve got growing in your belly. This will cover up your growing bump but it still makes your pregnancy a feature of the costume.

    The Gruesome Eyeball

    Want to do something a little gruesome for Halloween? Then dress your belly up as an eyeball. You can have some fun painting the details on this one, just don’t forget the blood! For the rest of your costume, just wear plain black and let the scary eyeball pop out. People can’t fail to notice this costume at a party!

    Pregnant Mother Earth

    This is another costume that makes use of a painted belly as a prop. Why not dress as Mother Earth and paint your belly to look like the world? This will require a bit more detail when it comes to getting the paint looking right, but it’ll be a huge hit if you can pull it off. As for the clothing around the belly, try anything in natural colors, and add accessories such as rows of flowers or leaves to complete the look.

    The Chicken And The Egg

    For a good couples costume idea, many pregnant women choose to go to Halloween parties dressed as an egg. Your partner can go as the chicken or, if you fancy something a little different, maybe even some streaky bacon.

    Pregnant Pea Pod

    This is a fun costume that plays on your bump by making it look as if it’s a pea coming out of the pod. Just get hold of green clothes, and cut a hole in your shirt or jacket for the “pea” to peep out.

  • 5 Creative Halloween Costumes For Women

    Posted on August 7, 2011 by spooky

    Want to make sure you don’t look like everyone else this Halloween? Got a bit more time on your hands to come up with something unforgettable? Then here are 5 creative Halloween costumes for women that you can try.

    1) Mermaid
    The beauty of mermaid costumes is that they can be as simple or as detailed as you require. The best mermaid costumes involve an intricate tail that goes right down to the floor. Some women create a long tail with holes for their feet, that then flicks up at the end. Add to this creative look with blue and green ribbons in your hair (like seaweed), and a shell bikini top.

    2) Mother Nature

    Mother Nature may be a popular Halloween costume theme, but there are many ways to go about putting it together. The most creative Halloween costumes for women tend to go into more detail. You might choose to paint a giant ball around you as the Earth and use this as your costume, or create a detailed gown full of natural materials such as leaves, flowers, fruit and other natural imagery.

    3) Blow Up Doll

    Warning – this idea is strictly for adult parties only! For an extra creative Halloween costume for women, try dressing up as a classic blow up doll. To do so, you’re going to need to buy a skin-colored body suit, with holes in all the right places (make sure you’re wearing something underneath!) You should even cover your head, with drawn on red lips and wide eyes for the complete love doll look.

    4) Body Paint Costumes

    Body paint can be used in so many ways to create the most unique Halloween costumes for both men and women. It’ll take a bit of practice, but why not try creating the costume of your choice completely out of body paint? Do it right and people won’t even notice at first that it isn’t real – this is a great way to shock and surprise people.

    5) Split Personality

    Lastly, split personality themes always make for some creative Halloween costumes for women. This means  dressing half as you in one style, and the other half another. For example, one could be your good side and one could be your evil side, or one could be a superhero in their day to day “normal” wear, one can be their superhero side.
