Halloween costumes

13-10-2009 04:35PM#1Hi everyone,
I was going to start this thread asking if anyone had seen something in the shops I need as part of my Halloween costume, then I thought others might be in the same position...
So, if you're looking for an item, as part of your costume, or information where to find bits and bobs to customise a Halloween costume... post here!
On that note, does anyone know anywhere that's still selling wet-look leggings? ... I know they're not really in fashion anymore so they're harder to find than I thought
(I'm being cat-woman, so they'd be perfect!)0

Was planning on going as a cat / catwoman myself.... what are you planning on wearing top wise?0 -
Thanks very much
I was hoping Penney's would have them; cheap and cheerful, as I only plan on wearing them for this one night! But no luck the other day!
Oh, and like I said, if anyone needs information on where to find certain things or help with Halloween costumes, post here too
Next, I have to find a black pvc-esque corset ... eep!0 -

I'm not that sure ...
I tried on this black pvc corset thing in Ann Summers, for the laugh! But it's quite... raunchy! Although, a lot of people do go out in provocative clothing at Halloween!
If anyone has any ideas, that would be great!

Just get a normal silk/satin corset (penny do them for about a tenner) and use black shiney tape to cover it. My mate is a burlesque performer and she ofter uses it to creat stripes etc on corsets.0 -

Oooh, excellent idea! Thanks so much for that!
I'll definitely try that! - It'll save me about 50 euro as well!
What are you dressing up as yourself? I always love hearing people's costume ideas, people get so creative 0 -

Well I'm gonna be in the states on hols for halloween. I have already dressed up about 5 times this year (i go to a monthly costume party) so think I will just bring my zebra costume

Do ya think a zombie zebra would be over doing it?0 -

Giddy, that zebra outfit is deadly!
Oh, and for anyone who was being catwoman: The 2 euro shop had cat ears and tails in a set last year for ... 2 euro! So, you could pick up some pieces there
Claire's accessories do some ear thingies as well!0 -

I'm going as yet another cat woman
Any idea where one could get a black leotard - like those ballet ones ye wore when u were a kid?
American Apparel have allll that sort of stuff, it's a bit pricey though? About 30 euro plus...
Only shop I can think of, off the top of my head that would stock things like that though!0 -

Ohh Oogie Boogie is class!
I'm going as the creepy doll from the Jonathan Coulton song 'Creepy Doll'. (yes I am a sad nerd :P) I've got some bits from ebay to cover my eye so it looks like my eye is zippered shut. Need to pick up a suitable doll dress too, going to go for creepy rag-doll look.
Got the makeup/facial paint sorted, just need to get better at blanching out the sides of my lips to give a better doll mouth, but face paint doesn't look smooth enough Any suggestions? 0
I made a few months ago. Was dressed up as Oogie Boogie on friday!!
