Halloween costumes

pikachucheeks

Hi 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!)

Claire's accessories have cat ear sets which consist of black and silver ears, black tail and a bow for around your neck. Think it was about 10e I can't remember what I paid. You could also try the party shop on stephens green. Looking for a whip myself...

Depending on the whip type itd either be hen-night/filthy shops :pac:, equestrian shops or..........indiana jones shops

Claires Accessories do whips too in their Hen Party accessories section.

I need a tight black boob tube, got my costume yesterday but it's too low cut for me. I need it tight because the costume is tight fitting.

Penneys don't seem to have them, I guess it isn't the season.

Open to any alternatives, although I should say the costume is halter neck so don't want anything with a very visable back.

Depends if youre a guy or a girl, but theres a comic book store (forbidden planet I think its called) just on the quays, say turn left at oconnel bridge, and go towards hapenny bridge if youre coming from the southside, theyll have stuff.

And to the person that wanted a smoking jacket, theres a shop in georges street arcade that does silky kimonos and dressing gowns, they might have one that has a suitable pattern

Did you try pennys? You might get something tight in the underware section either.

Saw set in 2 euro store in the kid's toy section, fake glasses with big fake nose and eyebrows stuck on them, but they should be easy enough to take off.

No, somewhere in Cork, spent half the day trekking around getting hallowe'en stuff for about 10 people, think it was the generic 2E store you see in most cities though. Joke shops should have them too, thought probably little more expensive.

Check army surplus shops for the dogs tags/ bullets. If you're in Dublin look on Capel St. They also have them in Temple Bar in the hippie shops

Ann Summers had slutty army girl costumes last year. Might still have some.

Good luck!:)
