Top Tips
According to DIYS.com experts, there are three important things to consider when shopping for Halloween costumes.
If you’re purchasing a costume online: “Always read the description before purchasing. Most retailers will use a photo of the model in the item for sale plus a few extras. Make sure you know exactly what is included, so you’re not left with half a costume when the time comes.”
If you’re making a costume: “Get started early. You never know when you might run into problems, so give yourself plenty of time to fix them.”
When deciding on a costume: “Always keep the occasion in mind. If you’re choosing a costume for trick or treating, you’ll need some insulation. If you’re going to a house party, you’ll need to be able to sit down in your costume.”
