Halloween Costumes

Quick tips to find a better fit:

• Measure first: take chest/bust, waist, hips and height with a soft tape measure.
• Compare to the product page: use the costume's size chart and any listed garment measurements rather than assuming standard sizes.
• Think about layers: if you plan to wear shirts or thermals underneath, allow extra room.
• Read reviews: other shoppers often note if an item runs small or large.
• Check Walmart policies: review the return or exchange info before you buy in case you need a different size.

These steps can help reduce sizing surprises, but fit can vary by style and manufacturer.

Those terms can overlap, but they often point to different uses:

• Costume: usually means a themed or character outfit worn for Halloween, cosplay, or parties (superheroes, historical looks, movie characters).
• Fancy dress: in some places this phrase is used interchangeably with "costume," while in other listings it can mean a dressy or party outfit rather than a character outfit.

When shopping on Walmart, check the product description, photos, and category tags to see whether an item is meant as a themed costume or as formal/party wear.

Putting together a flapper look is mostly about a few signature pieces. Try combining these elements:

• Dress: a drop-waist, fringe, or beaded dress in a straight cut.
• Headband and hair: a sequin or feathered headband and a short bob wig or faux bob styling.
• Accessories: long beaded necklaces, a feather boa, and T-strap or Mary Jane–style shoes.
• Stockings and makeup: fishnet or sheer stockings and smoky eye/matte lipstick for a vintage vibe.

Check product details and customer images on Walmart to mix and match pieces, and keep small accessories secure so they don’t fall off during events.

Moon Knight outfits can range from simple to complex depending on how screen-accurate you want to be.

• Higher effort: full-body garments, layered fabrics, armor pieces, and a fitted mask take more sewing or prop work and time.
• Lower effort: simplified versions use a white cloak, basic tunic, and a lightweight hood or mask you can buy ready-made.
• Safety and comfort: choose breathable fabrics, make sure masks don’t block vision or breathing, and avoid flammable materials around open flames.

On Walmart, you can find both ready-made costume pieces and simpler options; reviews and product photos can help you judge complexity before you commit.

Proper care helps costumes last for seasons. Try these steps:

• Check care labels: follow the manufacturer’s instructions shown on the product page or garment tag.
• Spot clean first: remove makeup and small stains with a gentle cleaner; delicate pieces may need hand washing.
• Air dry: lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat or sunlight to avoid shrinking or warping.
• Store smart: use a breathable garment bag or a box with acid-free tissue to preserve shape. Avoid long-term storage in sealed plastic.

These steps can help extend a costume’s life, but care results may vary by material and construction.
