A playing card costume is ideal for an avid bridge player or poker player, for a fan of Alice in Wonderland, or for anyone who like fun and wacky costumes at Halloween. Keep in mind that movement may be a bit restricted when wearing this type of costume, and it may be hard to sit comfortably, or to eat and drink easily. However, if color and immediate impact is what you want from a costume, then these certainly fit the bill.

If you are going to a Halloween party as a couple, a king and queen of hearts costume combination could be ideal.

Since the release of Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland, there has been renewed interest in costumes depicting the various characters of the classic tale. The most popular of the characters by far is the one Johnny Depp portrayed: The Mad Hatter. This is the type of costume well suited not only to the kids that enjoyed the film, but also for any child that likes to get a little wacky at Halloween. And who doesn’t after eating all that candy? The most important and distinctive feature of the costume is, of course, the hat itself, followed by the frizzy wig that matched the character’s personality so well. Look for costumes that also feature the over-sized bow, the checkered vest and the frilly coat sleeves. The Hat and wig can be bought separately if you intend on assembling and making the rest of the costume yourself.

Be aware that with some of the less expensive costumes, shirts and vests or jackets are not really separate garments, but in fact one top with the different elements sewn together.

The vast majority of flower costumes on the market are for infants, toddlers and kids. The most common type has a hole for the head which makes the child’s face the center of the flower, which is very cute. The second type is more of a dress that is cut in such a way to give the impression of a flower. More subtle but no less cute. If you are looking for an adult flower costume you may have to make one yourself.
