Costumes in Australia

  • Halloween comes and goes but kids Halloween costumes stay with us forever. Children love dressing up and Halloween is a big deal in every child’s life, no matter where they love. While Halloween started in the USA and was primarily an American celebration, it is now just as widely celebrated in Australia. There are always fabulous Halloween functions, events and parties and dressing up for Halloween, for both kids and adults, is a fun and fabulous and serious thing. Everyone, and that includes the moms and dads, puts great thought into their costumes. And when Halloween is over, the dress up costumes are carefully packed away, until they can be used again. And there is always an excuse to wear them again.

    Choosing a Halloween theme

    With Halloween due in 3 months, lets prepare for it. It is the evening before All Saints Day, known as Hallows Day. Costumes online are bought weeks or months in advance, with kids getting ready and planning their Halloween parties. It’s all about getting loads of sweets and treats, for sure, but it is also about having a party and playing games, many of which are focused on quite spooky or scary stuff, age appropriate of course. It is thought that on Hallows Eve, ghouls and witches came out to play. And so many kids like to dress up as a ghoul, a witch, a zombie or a ghost. Monsters are pretty popular too. The accessories for Halloween like, buckets to collect sweets and treats, wands or swords or capes or veils, can all be bought online as well, and are always going to be useful too, for dress up games throughout the year.

    You can buy fancy dress costumes online and although we admire parents or kids who make their own costumes, online costume shops are easy and cheap. There is a fantastic range of kids Halloween costumes and it is never too early to order.

  • Do your children want to dress up in pirate costumes? Of course they do. All children love to dress up as pirates, or fantasy characters, be it boys or girls. Dressing up as a pirate is a part of growing up. Kids love pirate stories, they love Captain Hook stories and they love to pretend they are walking the plank. They love to shout out ‘Ahoy’ there and brandish swords. They like to wear eye patches and bandanas around their heads, or necks, and they love to play pretend games. It’s quite easy to make a pirate costume and it is also easy to buy a pirate costume online.

    Dress up accessories

    Almost everyone has dress up accessories at home but costume stores online also keep dress up accessories. If you have a few coloured bandanas at home, a couple of coloured wigs, a few pairs of sunglasses, a cape or two, perhaps a sword although some parents are opposed to them and an eye patch are always good ideas. Throw in a crown or two, accessories, different hats, and you can quickly make up any fancy dress costume you please. Remember, kids have vivid imaginations and don't need much to get dressed up as a fantasy character at all. They can be a pirate on Monday, a Prince on Tuesday, a Superhero on Wednesday, a clown on Thursday and a fairy on Friday. They only need a few items of fun clothing and a good sense of play and adventure.

    Encourage your children to dress up. Help them to make costumes and to come up with fancy dress costume ideas. Think of book characters, cartoon characters and movie characters. Remember, if you cannot make the costume, you can easily buy the fancy dress costume online. Pirate costumes are always a huge hit and are not tricky to make or expensive to buy.
