FAQ

How do I pick the right size for a Halloween costume?

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.

What's the difference between a costume and a fancy dress?

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.

How can I put together a 1920s flapper costume?

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.

How difficult is Moon Knight cosplay to pull off?

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.

How should I clean and store a Halloween costume?

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.

Halloween Costumes

With all the costume choices available, it can be a challenge to come up with the perfect costume for you. To narrow down your options, it may be helpful to think in terms of costume categories.


Career costumes include firefighter costumes, teacher costumes and rock star costumes. If you choose a career costume, pay attention to the accessories you choose: the details will make the costume look complete. Fantasy costumes include knight costumes, ogre costumes and witch costumes. You can make these unique by getting creative with color, fabric and makeup. Character costumes are designed to resemble characters from TV shows, books or movies. If you go this route, be prepared with some typical lines to help people recognize your character. Object costumes resemble inanimate objects, such as a pair of scissors or a block of cheese. Since some object costumes can be heavy or bulky, it's a good idea to wear light clothes underneath. You may also choose a couple or group costume, featuring a theme in which the various parts make up a whole. Make sure to spend time with the other member(s) of your group so that people can see the whole picture. At Walmart, you'll always find Every Day Low Prices on costumes. Save money. Live better.
