how far in advance do you plan your childs costume?
last two years we have gotten lucky with dd's costumes
she was raggedy year before las and this year she was a scarecrow. i recieved mulitple compliments on it. i got the bright idea of dressing her in little red riding hood and my oldest son as the big bad wolf and me as the grandma
what do you ladies think?
Quoting silverdawn99:they are only 7,5 and 3 so i ususally do plan them but they have input
Quoting christina0607:
I allow my kids to be whatever they want, so I would never plan their costumes for them.
We started in about August - he had to decide what he wanted, we made almost all his by hand, if it wasn't something huge, we would begin mid to late sept, but sometimes we started in august.
This costume we started in august, it was mostly me paper mache making the balls on the arms and the helmet, doing a few layers a night.
