You haven’t still bought your Halloween costume? It’s time you did it. But don’t be in a hurry and do not buy the first costume you see. Otherwise you are risking staying at home because your costume doesn’t suite you or wearing something different you find in your wardrobe.
There are still some important things you should mind while buying or hiring your costume.
Weather, feelings of comfort and safety
Do you know where the party is going to take place? How many people will be there? You say, it makes no difference? I’d object. If you choose a costume of yeti and come to the party with lots of people, you’ll feel very uncomfortable and hot. In half an hour you’ll have to get rid of your costume and spoil the whole impression of yourself. Be more practical and consider all pros and cons of your costume.
Don’t forget to dress-up according to the weather. If your costume is rather skimpy, look for some mantlet or cloak that will correspond to your image and which you can take off if necessary.
You are fond of fancy details, trains, long sleeves and all kinds of decorations? See to it that they don’t prevent you from dancing, communicating with other guests, paralyse your movements or simply lead to injuring yourself or somebody of the guests.

Size
The majority of adult Halloween costumes are one-size-fits. They are made of elastic and extra fabric to fit a range of sizes. But these sizes vary from manufacturer to manufacture, that’s why don’t be lazy and try it on. There are also some costumes that come in different sizes - small, medium, large, etc.
If you need something larger, look for the full-cut or plus size costumes. If your size is between large and extra large, think if you're going to wear a layer under the costume. Check the store's size charts. Most plus size costumes will fit a size extra large through 3X.
If you are small and slim, look for teen or youth sizes, which go in the size 2 to 6 range for women and 36-38 for men.
Mind, that some costumes need additional accessories like wigs. See to it, that your costume is complete.
Price
You are looking for the costume you’ll wear only once and don’t want to spend much money? You may find exactly what you need at the sales for about 50 dollars.
If you don’t mind spending several hundred dollars, you may find something of better quality and design. Such costumes will serve you better, but mind that you don’t concentrate on its price and are afraid to move in it.
Party itself
Think it over where you going to celebrate Halloween. If you will be among children, your costume shouldn’t be too scary, otherwise small kids may be frightened.
If it is going to be some official celebration, don’t dress-up too vulgar and flashy. It is not always good to be flaring.
If, on the other hand, you are going to celebrate Halloween with your friends, people who know you and whom you know quite well, there’s no need to be shy. You may wear the skimpiest costume, relax and enjoy yourself!!!
Remember to have fun and enjoy the time spent with your family and friends. Mind that Halloween can also be scary for some children and pets, in this case funny happy costumes will probably be the best way to go. Halloween wakes the child in all of us, so carve pumpkins, tell funny stories, have parties and dress-up in funny costumes!
Happy Halloween!
