More Hallowe'en costume fun

My eldest son has had a Hallowe'en party almost every year now (last year his best friend got married on the 30th so there was no Hallowe'en party - but a reception) and he usually has a suggested theme for those people that may have trouble thinking of something. This year's theme was children's literature. So several people showed up dressed appropriately. My husband and I are always invited but we never dress up. They have loaner costumes (a mask or a hat) for people like us who do not have a costume.We didn't stay long and as we were leaving other characters arrived but alas, I have no photos of them. Here's what I do have.

The host and hostess. Peter Pan and Tinker Bell.

Another pic. Both outfits came from Value Village. Peter Pan's outfit was a wool crepe dress that was a tad too tight so his mom undid the side seams (bless the maker who didn't use set-in sleeves) and cut off the hem (which was unfinished) to add to both sides. The collar and the colour of the dress is what attracted the couple to the dress. Peter Pan and Tinker Bell added the rope belt, the tights and cut the hems of both dresses to make this very inexpensive outfit.

Tinker Bell's wings are courtesy of VV also.

Peter Pan's hat and booties were a quick make from his mom's stash of cotton velveteen.

Roger Hargreaves' Mr. Topsy-Turvy and Little Miss Sunshine made an appearance. Too bad Mr. Topsy-Turvy's hat doesn't show up so well in this photo. Click on the pic to see it better, it is there. I love the Mr. Men and Little Miss books. These two are celebrating one year of married bliss.

Can you guess? Besides the witch, who are the other two characters? (scroll down for the answers)

Captain Hook. Someone on the subway asked if she was a sailor. ???

Cat Woman and The Joker - before they rushed off to another party. The mom had nothing to do with these costumes other than loaning a tapestry needle, some white embroidery floss and some fabric glue to hold the feathers onto the gloves. (amazing what the studio holds)

Peter Pan and his brother Aramis - another costume made with some assistance by the MOM.

 Those cuffs and the boot covers made from some vinyl that Aramis's mom had in her stash. All other paraphernalia (hat, sword and cape) came from the Dollar Store or some store like it. The hat was spruced up by some cut and glue.

The siblings. Peter Pan made his dagger.

 d'Artagnan.

The family! There's Devo and the Cat in their usual headgear - courtesy of the host and hostess.

And now, are you all wondering who those characters were with the witch? Well, that's Tintin with his dog and the other fellow is a character from one of Gordon Korman's books; Artie Geller from the book, No Coins Please.

And then, from another party, another sibling...

David Bowie wearing the original cuffs (which I hear were a hit) with her Park Ranger.

And lastly,

Baby Flash incognito.

Happy Hallowe'en one and all. Stay safe. I hope you smiled.
