Easy Costume Ideas

Looking for some easy costume ideas for you next party, well I have some very popular ideas that you can use with maybe something spare in your closet, or maybe a quick trip to the goodwill or  thrift store and then you can make a few adjustments.

Homemade costumes don't have to involve months of preparation and days of sewing. If you don't have the money to spend on an expensive costume, or if you have ran out of time to put something together, simply take a look around your house. Chances are you have all that you need for a do it yourself costume, without spending a dime and here are some popular easy costume ideas for you.

French maids

Are generally considered very feminine with their frilly dresses & high heeled stilettos.

What you will need: black dress, small frilly apron, lace headpiece, black fishnets, stilettos & feather duster.

Dress alterations: use a V or round neck dress with sleeves, add gathered lace around neckline, sleeves and hemline by gluing or sewing.

Dracula's

We have the image of seductiveness, darkness & mystique; however with this costume we have added a hint of sexiness.

You will need: black dress, bat or gothic style choker, black fishnets, black boots, long black wig with white stripe, fangs, blood & puncture marks - tattoos for neck (optional).

Dress alterations: use a black round or V neck black long sleeve short dress, cut the hemline and sleeves jaggedly.

Tip: Be careful not to alter the length too much, as you don't want it shorter.

Cowboy/Cowgirl

 If you children already own cowboy or cowgirl boots and a hat, all you need to do is add some blue jeans and a long sleeve check top. If you child has a pony on a stick toy, even better. Parents may also be able to find some rope lying around that can be used as a lasso prop. For a farmer just try adding some hay inside shirt or pants pockets, and a fake pitchfork, rake or hoe as a prop.

Ghost.

 The whole ghost costume is played out, but you can reinvent it using two bed sheets instead of one. Cut eye holes in two sets of sheets and draw a mouth and nose on both, put them both on, tie a rope around your waist to keep the costume on and when people ask tell them you are a ghost dressed as a ghost

Scrubs

Scrubs make a great outfit for lounging around the house or relaxing in general. Try wearing most costumes after the actual holiday. For the most part, it's not going to work. You'd look foolish and probably wouldn't be comfortable. Go the smart route and choose scrubs for you're costume this year.

These are just a few ideas and I hope you have enjoyed these ideas but I have some more easy costume ideas, please have a look .

Extra deep pocket sheets?

I have a fantastic pillow top mattress, but cannot find sheets that will fit or stay on. Most stores go up to 18" deep pockets and I need more along the lines of 21+". I have seen places online who have them, but I am much more comfortable walking into a store to buy these. Any idea of where I can buy them retail without spending a fortune? I don't wish to pay $189 for a set of queen size sheets.
Thanks!
Thanks for the answers so far, but I have checked there. I am really only looking for answers where people definitely know where I can find them instead of suggestions of where to look. I probably needed to be clearer about what I was looking for. Thanks again!

I got new, deep pocket sheets (21 inch depth) from a seller on ebay. Unfortunately, you are usually limited to white or ivory. I found that it was cheaper than the stores, and I could at least find them.
