Dune Sandworm Shai-Hulud costume

Happy 2024 Halloween! For this years Halloween costume I decided to take on the Dune sandworm/Shai-Hulud costume as my goal was to be as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible this year. As you know/from what you can see on the blog, I LOVE me a home-made costume. So once I was able to get my…

Moira Rose Schitt’s Creek Celebrant/Pope Costume

Happy Halloween! For this years Halloween costume for the blog, I thought I’d take on the wig-queen herself Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek. Of all of her WONDERFUL costumes that she wore throughout all 6 seasons of Schitt’s Creek, in my opinion, none was more amazing and hilarious that the outfit she wore when she…

Cruella Garbage Truck Dress Costume

So it’s been about 4 million years since I posted a costume, but what better way to come back than with this one. What could be more representative of the dumpster fire of the last two years of Covid and lockdown more than this? So I present to you, the Cruella Devil garbage dress costume….

Buffy Hush Gentlemen Costume

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! As you know Buffy is one of my favourite shows of all time, so I kept this costume for the last costume of my October costume challenge. So today I thought I’d create a costume from one of my favourite, and I believe the scariest, episode: Hush. The Gentlemen from Hush are some…

Immortan Joe from Mad Max: Fury Road Costume

Luke Danes from Gilmore Girls Costume

I, like many others this year, were over the moon when Netflix released a new Gilmore Girls series. Thinking of who I could create a costume of, I figured that Luke would be the most obvious. While his look is very standard, it’s almost a uniform and quite recognisable. Photo credit: Frosted Tips Black Baseball…

Handmaid’s Tale Costume

My prediction for the ‘it’ costume this year is The Handmaid’s Tale costume. The show was a MASSIVE hit this year so you’re bound to see this costume at every Halloween party you go to this year. Plus, all you need is a red cape and white hat, so it’s an easy one to put…

Maria from the Sound of Music Costume

How do you solve a problem like Maria? You can’t she’s the worst. The Sound of Music is one of my favourite films of all time, so I’m happy that I’ve finally been able to honour it with a costume. Photo credit: Frosted Tips Blonde Short Wig: Ebay Black Long sleeve Top: Uniqlo Black and…
