Halloween Adventure, The Masters of Maquerade

Celebrate our Historical Heroes!

George and Martha Washington!

Everyone knows that Halloween is generally a time for men to dress scary and women to dress sexy, but maybe it’s time for a departure from this method. Want to go the opposite route? Well, how about going historical! No, we don’t mean sexy hippie, we mean the Washingtons, George and Martha (among others, of course).

Our George Washington Adult Historical Costume is the perfect way to pay your respects to our first leader even if it’s not the 4^th of July! It includes a historically accurate blue jacket with gold trim, a grey vest and grey pants. If you’re going to dress like Georgie, you might as well go all the way. Top it off with our George Washington Colonial Wig, a smooth and distinguished (and very tall!) hairpiece that exudes a highly presidential air.

If you’re looking to replicate the hairstyle of Miss Martha herself, we recommend our Madame De Pompadour Wig, a hairpiece that subtly compliments George Washington’s, so that husband and wife can look powerful and polished together.

If it’s another president’s look you desire, try our Abraham Lincoln Adult Historic Costume. This deluxe getup includes a long black coat (Abe’s signature), as well as pants, vest, stovepipe hat and requisite beard. Don’t be surprised if the neighbors start asking you for advice regarding the upcoming election!

If you’re not looking for the whole shebang, check out our Abraham Lincoln Heroes in History Kit. This kit includes a beard and a stovepipe hat, but you’ll have to practice Abe’s speeches on your own time.

Another idea is to try out our Ben Franklin Historical Costume, a look so close to Ben’s that you might swear you’ve transcended the limits of time! The costume includes a jacket with attached vest and white cuffs, matching knickers and white socks, shoe covers and a white jabot. Top it off with our Ben Franklin Heroes in History Kit, which includes the headpieces and eyeglasses needed to transform you from ordinary Joe into historical hero.

No matter which famous historical hero you choose, make sure to educate yourself on the politics that go with them! While you’re at it, educate yourself on the politics of today as well. With one of the most important elections in recent history coming up, make like a historical hero and know your stuff.

Sassy Renaissance Costumes

Do you ever find yourself wishing you could go back in time? Well, with costumes from Halloween Adventure, you can!

Go all the way back to the Renaissance times with our insane Renaissance costumes. Back then, boys were gentleman and women were ladies. Ahh, to live in an age of romance.

If you’re scared to go all out, dip your feet in the water with our Lock Lace Bodice Renaissance Costume. Pair with pants or a skirt for a fabulous costume! The superb cut cups the breast for a perfect lift. Double boning in the front dips below the navel for a flat profile. Lacing in the 54 grommets up the back sides and front allows for custom fitting. Made of durable cotton twill in burgundy and trimmed in gold gimp, this bodice is engineered to last for years. A hidden pocket keeps the four pieces of spring-steel boning in place, and reinforces the front grommets.

If you think you’ve got the guts to go all out, try our Lock Lace Bodice Dress Costume. This costume is like the milkmaid gone badass, with a gorgeous multi layered purple and fuchsia skirt, white peasant shirt and sexy bodice top. More, please!  The superb cut cups the breast for a perfect lift. Double boning in the front dips below the navel for a flat profile.

Dress like the women of old time Italy in our Maiden of Verona Adult Renaissance costume. This costume is gorgeous, and features a lovely long purple and ivory panne gown with gold trim accents and a matching headpiece. It’s almost reminiscent of something Maid Marian would wear while waiting for Sir Robin Hood!

Gents can rock our Marine Blue Harem Pants. These babies look perfect with a plain black button up. Rock it with a Napoleon hat or our Tales of Old London Hat for extra spice.

If the pants aren’t your style, try our Twill Cloak with Pin. This baby is badass, or at least, as badass as a Renaissance costume can be! The double layer of cotton twill keeps in the heat while letting out the body's moisture. The outer layer of twill is black and the inner layer is navy.

For more Renaissance costumes, check out our Halloween Adventures website! Remember to check in our wigs section for fabulous hairpieces to match your historical self.

Who You Gonna Call? Ghostbusters!

I ain't afraid of no Ghost. Ghostbusters is coming back with a vengeance not seen since the Stay Puft Marshmallow man attacked New York City. The original movie is coming out on Blu Ray on June 16th and the new videogame based on the popular movie franchise is being released the same day as the Blu Ray release. The video game according Ivan Reitman producer and director of the two films is a reboot of the series. The video game had a budget of nearly $12 million dollars so much is expected from the game. The original cast members were brought back for the game for the voice talent.

The renewed interest in Ghostbusters has ignited rumors that the film series may continue. According to the Chicago Tribune a script is due next month from "The Office" writing partners Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, the same writing team behind the upcoming Ramis-directed comedy "Year One." None of the original actors have signed on to the movie as of yet, but there is interest in doing the picture. The interest is dependent on the quality of the unseen script.

Ghostbusters is controlled by a five-way partnership: Columbia Pictures, Reitman and three of the stars -- Bill Murray, Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. Each has a veto on any new project.

Murray had positive things to say last year about the new screenwriting duo, but it's of course possible that he will read the new script and decide to veto it. Aykroyd hopes not; he's already doing some cast daydreaming -- he'd like to see Alyssa Milano (who lends her voice to a character in the video game) and Eliza Dushku of "Dollhouse" as the first female Ghostbusters. "I think they're amazing," he said. "And I'm excited about the whole idea of getting this done."

The viewing public certainly is a fan of the movie. In 2008, a reader poll by Entertainment Weekly ranked "Ghostbusters" as the best comedy of the previous 25 years.

Check out our selection of licensed Ghostbusters Costumes. We love this sexy outfit.

This one looks like it hopped right out of your TV screen and onto your back!

Jetsons Live Action Movie Coming!

Love the Jetson family as much as we do? Then you'll be as excited about this news as we were. Famed Dusk till Dawn, El Mariachi, Sin City and Spy Kids director  Robert Rodriguez is working on preproduction for live action version of the Jetsons. Adam F. Goldberg from Fanboys completed a script for the movie in 2007 but Rodriguez has been hard at work retooling the script. He's also been pretty tight lipped about casting for the movie. Here's hoping that the movie doesn't turn out like the live action version of the Flinstones. With Robert Rodriquez at the helm I have some faith in the project. In the meantime take a look at these re-imagined Jetsons costumes inspired by the original cartoon characters Judy and Jane never looked like this in the animate series.

We're a bit obsessed with this Jane Jetson costume. That shiny purple dress! Sparkly! Metallic! Purple! Futuristic! It's just oh-so-fabulous! Even Judy's costume is fantastic - a shimmering pink zip up number that is sure to have all the guys calling. Men will love our George Jetson costume, while kids will adore our Astro dog costume. Putting it on the family dog is a hilarious activity in and of itself.

If you were casting for this movie who would you cast for Judy,Jane, Elroy, George and Cosmo? Imagine casting has compiled their own list of predictions from user votes.

It's Almost America's Birthday!

We’ve got a birthday to celebrate! In just a couple of weeks America will turn 233 years old! Everyone seems to celebrate it in one way or another, or at least acknowledge it.

I just say the words, ”4th of July” and immediately you’ve got images of fireworks, parades, and barbeques flooding your mind. Everything is red, white, and blue. Uncle Sam has a big grin and is dancing about in the streets. Flags are waving away and there’s an overall feeling of happiness, right? At the very least, most of us think of the 4th of July as the start of summer and spend some time outside basking or playing in the sun – slathered in sunscreen, of course.

Here’s some interesting facts you may not know about Independence Day. Share them with your friends and family and you’ll look utterly brilliant, and, no doubt be the life of the party on the 4th of July.

• The first Independence Day was celebrated on July 8th, 1776 – not on the 4th!
• The 4th of July wasn’t even a federal legal holiday until 1941!
• In 1776 there were 2.5 million people in the 13 original colonies. Last year on the 4th, there were 302 million in 50 states.
• The US imported about $216 million of fireworks in 2006, with $206 million from China.
• We also imported $5.3 million in flags – again, mostly from China.
• Americans eat more than 150 million hot dogs on the 4th of July!

Throw on your party clothes and celebrate Uncle Sam’s birthday. Do it in style. Red, white, and blue is the way to go - whether you’re in a bikini, shorts and a t-shirt, or a suit. Top off the look with a party hat just right for the occasion. We’ve got your traditional Uncle Sam top hat! You just can’t go wrong with these! They are all really well-made and fun. I love the quality of these and the velvet-like material they are made out of. They are comfy as can be and hold their shape fantastically. And they all have this great little feature - size adjusters inside. You can make them fit your head perfectly. This comes in really handy for me – being of the more compact size than most.

These are these are the perfect party-hat for whatever type of birthday celebration you may having for our country this year. I’m thinking — great with a bikini at the beach or in the stadium watching some killer fireworks extravaganza.

So get out there – watch those parades, hit the beaches, light up the grill, oooh and aaahhh over fireworks, wave your flags, blow your horns this Independence Day. Celebrate! It’s party-time!

Throw a Costume Themed Graduation Party!

Yes, it is that time of year again.  A proud moment for many parents and definitely proud moments by the students themselves.  We will see a record number of individuals graduating college this year and entering the workforce.

Disco Never Dies

Before these students - or soon-to-be-ex-students - finish their college careers, there are a few loose ends to tie up.  You’ve been to all the weekend theme parties throughout the years and it’s time to top them all.

There are so many costume theme party ideas, it’s really a matter of choosing the right one.  Looking for a winner?  How about a Gangster Party?  Wow, you might not want to invite your parents.

Or perhaps a disco party is more your style? I’m not sure what it is, but it seems like the 70’s will never die, so this is a great costume party to throw!  Get down and get groovy and you can throw the ultimate retro party.

You might even show off what you’ve learned over the years and throw a historical costume party! Whatever you decide, just have fun, enjoy the party and then you get down to business, but don’t just walk out of college without a grand finale!

Comics, Cowboys and Sexy Cowgirls!

All’s been quiet on the Western front, as of late, regarding new movies coming out for 2010. Right now, fans are buzzing about movies still to come this summer, such as Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen and G.I. Joe. Still, we’ve seen the trailers for these films about 1,000 times already, salivating until we can get our mitts on some tickets at the box office in just a few weeks.

So, once summer’s gone and we’ve snapped up today’s top box office draws on DVD… What do fans have to look forward to? Comic book fans, Western afficionados and horror mavens will be chomping at the bit to check out the big screen adaptation ofJonah Hex in theatres come August 2010.

A lesser-known title with a cult following, Jonah Hex was released under the DC Comics banner in 1977 afte making his first appearance in 1972. The comic disappeared for some time before making a return under DC’s adult-oriented Vertigo imprint in 2005. The comic follows the adventures of hideously scarred former Confederate soldier, Jonah Hex, who was sold by his father to the Apache Indians in return for safe passage. Years later following the death of his wife-to-be, Hex engages in a tribal tomahawk ritual battle and breaks the rules. As punishment, a red hot axe is placed to one side of his face, giving him the distinctive facial injuries he bears for the run of the series.

The new Jonah Hex film of 2010 stars Josh Brolin as the title character, a bounty hunter in the Old West fixin’ to take out a Voodoo practitioner attempting to raise an army of zombies to try to resurrect the Confederacy. Other big names in the film include Megan Fox and John Malkovich.

So far, no photos of star Josh Brolin in makeup as the disfigured Hex have surfaced, but Megan Fox has been rocking a sexy saloon girl outfit for the film.

Get the jump on hot costumes for next year and take a look at some saloon girl costumes, along with some zombie and cowboy looks.

As soon as we find some pics of Jonah Hex as he’ll appear on the big screen, we’ll be sure to post them… Along with some ideas on how you, too, can duplicate his unique look without having to incur the wrath of a tribal elder!

SNL takes on Marvel with Spiderman Costumes!

SNL stars Bill Hader and Seth Meyers have written their own version of Spiderman. The story is set in New York City and according to news media Halloween is coming early this year. The comic release date is May 28th 2009, which means you should be seeing this wacky version of the famed Marvel Comic in stores. The plot is all about Spiderman getting knocked out during a Greenwich Village costume parade. That’s right this is not the suave guy we have come to know that can save the city from the evil enemies. Instead Spiderman has been knocked out and replaced.

But who is replacing him? An intoxicated reveler has taken the real Spiderman’s place by donning the costume. The rest of the plot will remain untold. Kevin Maguire did the artwork for the new comic. You might remember him from the Justice League International Comic. So you have some excellent art, but you’ll have to decide for yourself if the written work is up to standard.

For us, it means just another boost in Spiderman costume choices. You might decide to add your own story to the tale this year for Halloween. What better costume idea than to have a bit of a knocked out look to your Spidey? Of perhaps you have revealed your identity as the real “Spiderman.”

With Spiderman 3 costumes and Marvel comics you can never go wrong at a costume party. Just think this year could be full of Spiderman, Wolverine costumes, and much more. Afterall if it is not a new comic that spurs you into action for your current costume it might just be a movie like X-Men Origins Wolverine. The movie has been an ongoing hit since its release earlier this month.

Marvel Comics has also provided Justice League costumes for us. Wonder woman costumes for the female persona may even be right up your alley. The truth is even with an SNL spin on the favored comic there are always going to be costumes for everyone based on the heroes created.

LED Lightstick, Flashlight... and whistle?!

We just received a new shipment of some very cool LED lightsticks here at New York Costumes, your downtown NYC Halloween Adventure store.

Upon browsing for new product arrivals, I came across these sleek little glow sticks near register 1. The compact and grab-able look of these light-up-ables by Life Gear led me to, well, grab one. And that was before I even noticed the "Try Me" message printed on them.

These LED lightsticks run on batteries (which are included). They have a little black button near the top which serves as an on switch and operations switch. Click once to light the glow stick body (green, red, or blue), which looks just like a normal snap-to-activate glow stick. Click again to activate the flashlight, which shines out of the top of the stick. Click again to activate the flasher, which makes the glowing body flash on and off. The last click in the cycle turns off all the lights.

Flip the glow stick upside down, and you will find the build-in whistle piece.

Flash light, flasher, and whistle? Not only is this thing great for rave parties, but it would serve well as a personal emergency device. The "red cross" -looking symbol on the glow stick implies this as well.

The Life Gear glow stick lights for up to 200 hours ("light run time varies based on usage and battery conditions," says the packaging). Initial batteries are included, and replacement batteries are free with a mail in to the company (does not include shipping & handling).

We've got these in red, green, and blue here in the New York Costumes / Halloween Adventure store. And we're currently uploading them to the www.newyorkcostumes.com website.

More photos of these Life Gear lightsticks can be found below, for those inquiring eyes. Enjoy.

Wizard of Oz Accessories Part I

We’re off to see the Wizard!

This Halloween, pay homage to one of the greatest stories ever told: that of Dorothy and her journey to the Emerald City. Here at Halloween Adventures, we have a myriad of costumes for the perfect Wizard of Oz tribute.

We start our journey with the adorable munchin girls Dorothy meets in her first few moments in the Emerald City. Our Munchkin Girl Adult TV Wizard of Oz Costume is the best. Munchkin Girl is having fun in her emerald green dress with attached apron in lavender, and lavender collar and in the sleeves. Munchkin pointed hat with flower on end and of course the striped black and white socks complete this petite outfit.

Next to the munchkin girls are the munchkin kids. You know, the ones that sing with those giant lollipops in their hands. Trippy, perhaps, but a great idea for a costume! Try our Munchkin Kid Adult TV Wizard of Oz Costume, which includes a multi colored shirt with white collar, front button accents, Green shorts, and Green & White stripe leggings. We wish to welcome you to munchkin land!

Then there is, of course, the mayor of Munchkinland! A powerful man he is, and a powerful man you’ll be in ourMunchkinland Mayor Adult TV Costume. This deluxe costume includes: Green pants with draw-string waist, Green jacket with tails & attached multi-colored vest (color pattern may vary, our choice please), bow tie (with Velcro for attaching) and a green hat.

Who can forget the Good Witch Glinda? In our Wizard of Oz Sexy Glinda Costume, you won’t soon be forgotten, that’s for sure! This costume includes a gorgeous light pink dress and headpiece. Just snag yourself a starry wand and some good intentions and you’re good to go! Don’t want to go the sexy route? Try our Wizard of Oz Glinda Movie Costume, an exact replication of Glinda’s beautiful pink gown from the film. Comes complete with a beautiful, full pink dress with tiny silver stars and a matching silver foam crown.

Of course, there’s always the all important Dorothy, around whom the entire story centers! Our Wizard of Oz Dorothy Adult Costume includes a polyester gingham print dress with an attached white 'blouse'. Ruby slippers are necessary, of course, and are sold separately HERE.

For more Wizard of Oz costume ideas, check out Part II of our series, coming soon!

Plus Size Divas Go Glam for Halloween

Plus Size Divas

This post aims to let curvaceous women know that there are plenty of costumes out there for them! Far too often, plus size women shy away from costumes because they think the outfits won’t come in their size. This might be true on some sites, but here at Halloween Adventure, we think every shape and size is perfect as is! Hence, we sell a myriad of costumes for plus size women, because big IS beautiful!

Looking to do a period costume? Do a riff off the famous three musketeers and snag our Lady Musketeer Costume in Plus Size. This stunner includes a daring tie up long sleeved bustier top in black velvet, as well as a fabulous white skirt with brown velvet down the sides and gorgeous gold detailing. A history lesson isn’t required, but in this getup, you might be asked to give one!

You’ve never seen a soccer referee look so good. Our Lipstick Referee Sport Sexy Costume in Plus Size is an absolute knockout. It includes a black and white striped dress with an attached petticoat for extra poof, as well as a whistle (for out of bounds playing!) and matching striped socks. The boys ain’t even seen nothing like this!

Calling all cutesy girls! Our Little Bo Peep Adult Costume isn’t for little girls, but it’s as cute as a button. Even if you don’t plan to herd any sheep, check out this fantastic getup. It includes a peach-colored dress with mock vest and sheep appliqué, pantaloons, and mop hat. The sheep you may have to find on your own.

Star in your own opera with our Madame Butterfly Costume in Plus Size. This delicate and deliberate confection of pink silky goodness is guaranteed to wow.  It features a gorgeous printed kimono with Japanese writing, as well as a traditional belt with an Obi (traditional decorated cloth). A geisha wig is sold separately, but you can find it HERE.
Last but certainly not least is our Magnificent Witch Costume in Plus Size. This costume is, well, as the name states, absolutely magnificent. It’s a take on Sleeping Beauty’s dangerous and frightening bag witch, Milificent, and includes a long black dress with purple bat-wing sleeves and fuchsia accents. It also includes an attached stand-up collar and foam headpiece. It’s positively perfectly scary and sexy all at once!

Remember: Just because this mini-series is over doesn’t mean there aren’t millions more options for curvy girls on our website. Visit the online catalog for many more choices. Whatever you choose to wear this Halloween, make sure you wear it with pride. Confidence is the best accessory a girl can have.

Teen Witches

The Witches

The Witches

Even scarier than the ghosts we discussed in our last post are the witches of All Hallows Eve. Grab some girlfriends and do a take on Angelica Houston in the remake of the Roald Dahl book The Witches, or pull out some pink smoke and recreate Hocus Pocus. 

Who said witches were all scare and no sass? Our Sexy Black Witch costume is a little bit of both. You'll turn heads as you ride in on your broom with this costume. The Black Witch costume includes: short black dress with lace trim and side stitching, and rumpled black witches hat.

Go classic creepy with our Classic Witch Adult Costume. This classic witch costume includes a long-sleeved black button front shirt, long black skirt with elastic waist, cape, and a matching black witch hat with attached scarf. All you need is a broom and an angry, evil cackle to go with it.

Ladies with curves, don’t let those skinny minnies have all the fun. Go evil goddess with our Elegant Witch Adult Plus Size costume. Costume includes a sexy black dress with shredded bell sleeves and a shredded bottom, as well as a witch hat with belt. This costume is both freaky and fabulous!

Sexy girls with little to no shame will love our Fairytales Witch Costume, a sizzling getup that includes a colorful mini dress with tattered tulle in the skirt and a bustier at the top, as well as a colorful hat with dangling spider at the end. Get lost in the forest in this costume. Hansel won’t know what hit him!

Teens can try our Glitter Witch Teen Costume, and adorable sassy outfit that includes a glittery minidress with long shredded sleeves and tulle bottom. Hat isn’t included, so snag one here.

Divas of darkness will love our Goth Maiden Witch Adult Costume, a dazzling confection that includes a full-length black and gold gown with sheer sleeves and velvet panels, as well as a matching hat.

Any witch you choose, remember that no costume is complete without a lot of attitude and a maniacal laugh. Channel the ladies of Hocus Pocus and come with your own smoke machine, or carry “treats” in your pocket for those little kids who just don’t know any better (just kidding!). Have fun!

Religious Christmas Costumes!

Looking to tell the story of Christmas at your local church? Need costumes to do so? Look no further than Halloween Adventure's website. We have a variety of costumes to help you tell the story right.

Ladies can start the fun in our Christmas Cutie Adult Costume. This getup includes a sexy red dress with built in bustier, plus an adorable Santa hat and white faux-fur shrug. You’ll be ready to rumble in this snow white tinged ensemble. Santa will thank his lucky stars he’s got a girl as sexy as you!

Men can follow the sexy ladies’ suit with our Imperial Santa Christmas Suit Costume. This getup is an Imperial Lux-Seal® crimson Santa Suit trimmed in a thick white fox-like faux fur fabric. Includes: Hat, fur trimmed jacket with zipper front closure, elastic waistband pants, belt with 5" buckle and a pair of fur trimmed boot tops. This is a high quality well made costume, and is intended for more than one use. Ho, ho, ho! Deck the halls in this fabulous costume that’s made to be worn again and again, so you can have Christmas in July, Christmas in October, hell, even Christmas in February if you so choose!

Do it Kris Kringle style this Halloween in our Kris Kringle Christmas Halloween Costume. This popular Santa suit is plush and luscious, comfy cozy fabric with lots of extra padding to help you pack on the pounds for your big night. It features a zipper coat with belt loops, pants, hat with large white pom pom, bound belt with loop and gilt buckle with prong, deluxe vinyl boot tops with deluxe white plush cuffs, and white knit gloves (everything you need to celebrate the holidays in style!).

Girls can go a different route in our Mary Winter Holiday costume. This one’s made for the Christmas season, but is just as humorous and fun on Halloween! This costume is a fabulous one-piece dress with matching headpiece and rope belt, so you’ll like just like Mary did on that fateful night way back when. Just make sure to remind your man that just because you’re all “virgin Mary” tonight doesn’t mean you’ll be the same girl tomorrow!

A wise man knows he can wear a costume on any day of the week with no shame! (Ok, so maybe just on Halloween night or at a work party). Our Melchior Adult Christmas Halloween Costume is perfect for a man of many words. This adult Wise Man costume includes multi-colored robe with solid colored inlet, belt cord, and matching headpiece. All you need is a bowl of jewels and some wisdom to go with!

It includes an oversized hat with attached ears and see-through eye mesh (in center of flower), plush poncho with attached face bunny face & bow tie, tunic with attached plush paw flaps and pants with attached plush paw flaps.

We've also got an adult costume that's more bunny than funny. This one can double as a mascot costume - it's that realistic! This complete mascot costume includes: oversized character mascot head with terrific facial details & mesh eyes, plush body with attached tail and zipper in back, mitts, spats, and parade big feet. Oversized mascot heads are made of foam, lined in latex and covered with faux fur. The premium costume also comes in white.

We're off to see the Wizard!

We’re off to see the Wizard!

This Halloween, pay homage to one of the greatest stories ever told: that of Dorothy and her journey to the Emerald City. Here at Halloween Adventures, we have a myriad of costumes for the perfect Wizard of Oz tribute.

We start our journey with the adorable munchin girls Dorothy meets in her first few moments in the Emerald City.Our Munchkin Girl Adult TV Wizard of Oz Costume is the best. Munchkin Girl is having fun in her emerald green dress with attached apron in lavender, and lavender collar and in the sleeves. Munchkin pointed hat with flower on end and of course the striped black and white socks complete this petite outfit.

Next to the munchkin girls are the munchkin kids. You know, the ones that sing with those giant lollipops in their hands. Trippy, perhaps, but a great idea for a costume! Try our Munchkin Kid Adult TV Wizard of Oz Costume, which includes a multi colored shirt with white collar, front button accents, Green shorts, and Green & White stripe leggings. We wish to welcome you to munchkin land!

Then there is, of course, the mayor of Munchkinland! A powerful man he is, and a powerful man you’ll be in ourMunchkinland Mayor Adult TV Costume. This deluxe costume includes: Green pants with draw-string waist, Green jacket with tails & attached multi-colored vest (color pattern may vary, our choice please), bow tie (with Velcro for attaching) and a green hat.

Who can forget the Good Witch Glinda? In our Wizard of Oz Sexy Glinda Costume, you won’t soon be forgotten, that’s for sure! This costume includes a gorgeous light pink dress and headpiece. Just snag yourself a starry wand and some good intentions and you’re good to go! Don’t want to go the sexy route? Try our Wizard of Oz Glinda Movie Costume, an exact replication of Glinda’s beautiful pink gown from the film. Comes complete with a beautiful, full pink dress with tiny silver stars and a matching silver foam crown.

Of course, there’s always the all important Dorothy, around whom the entire story centers! Our Wizard of Oz Dorothy Adult Costume includes a polyester gingham print dress with an attached white 'blouse'. Ruby slippers are necessary, of course, and are sold separately HERE.
