Great Ideas for Christmas Costumes and Holiday Party Outfits
Christmas costumes are here and it is that time of year again to get excited and be ready for trips to the malls, the office parties, and being the host of one at your house. The parties start the day after Thanksgiving and go until the new year.
Here are some ideas on wonderful costumes you can wear for all these occasions?
The most famous costumes is Santa Clause of course. To get the jolly suit plan ahead and order online, or you can rent it at a costume store. They will have everything you need to make you look just like the ho, ho, ho, man himself.
Just know that with the Santa suit if you start looking before Halloween you will be able to find it. But if you decide to do this at last minute you can always look at the stores where they sell Christmas lights and other holiday products.
Santa always needs a helper to hand out that wonderful candy cane after the children see the big guy. The elf is the second best person in the holiday season. They are helpful and funny, and always lets the kids see Santa.
There are green outfits and big shoes help topped with a little green hat. And of course you have to paint a little red on your cheeks to make you look happy as you can be. Green tights help top off the ensemble.
Who gets Santa and the elves to the mall? It is the famous reindeer! They do have these costumes available at the costume store. If you are good at sewing you just need fur brown cloth and a big red nose for the most famous of them all.
Mrs. Claus is the right hand lady that keeps everything running smoothing. You need a red dress that goes down to the ankles, a white lace apron, and a old fashion hat that looks like the pioneers wore to bed at night. You always want to put a little red circle on each cheek to make her look rosy.
Angels are very easy costumes to make. Get a white gown, put a gold wrap around your waist, a beautiful gold halo on the top of your head, and some very nice wings on your back.
Frosty the snowman is always nice to sing with in the snow. He would be easy to find on the internet. Frosty would be good to have at an office party, or at a party you are going to have for children. They would love to have him. Just make sure he has a big black top hat with a flower on it. Add a pipe and you are set.
The Grinch that stole Christmas is always a great costume for office parties, kids parties, or when you have one at your house. If you host one just remember that he is green with fur all over, and he is mean at first. When he is nice you can put a huge heart on his chest to say I am nice and I love Christmas.
Churches always have the kids do events with the nativity. Characters include The famous Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus, You also have the angels who float around, and the wise men that have important parts in these scenes. With the animals you have camels, goats, horses, lambs.
When making the nativity costumes they are usually made by hand by the church kids. This let's them take pride in what they did by themselves.
Christmas costume theme parties are very popular now. You just host a party and have every one dress in there character they love the most and have a wonderful themed party. Dressing up is not just for Halloween and for kids any more.
Remember the Christmas season is to have fun and being at a theme party where every one wears a Christmas costume will be festive and will remembered for a long time.

Child's Homemade Halloween costume help?
My 10 year old wants a gypsy fortune teller costume, which I will put together without a sewing machine. I'm buying a heavy fabric for the skirt that needs no hemming. I'll wrap it and pin the side securely. The picture here is just an example of what It will look like with a wrap sash. I'll make a belt type corset. I have in my mind how to do this, with maybe a few stitches by hand (i've done it before).
My problem, I can't find a childs peasant shirt at a bargain price, and I can't make one. Any ideas how to make an easy shirt for this, or what to wear instead of buying something new?

I appreciate any creative answers.
It's the picture on the right.
what if you use a tank top, and attach simple flouncy sleeves (just sew large, poofy rectangles, gather them to the size of the tank top sleeve openeing, attach, then gather at the wrist and use elastic to secure)? Additionally, you could embellish or paint the tank top front to make it more decorative.
