Wow, Toolgrrl's art dress is really cool. I would wear that to every party! =^x^=

Love that batgirl costume by tiarastutus! There are so many original costumes here...great article weirdwolf...hilighting costumes only...so folks can find something amid the sea of Halloween items on etsy!

The gowns are especially amazing! Very inspiring. I'll probably be helping my sister dress her dogs for Halloween. I wonder if we can still get candy for that?

I do feel you need to mention this amazing dress by smarmyclothes...one of the most original things I've seen...it's got a bleached skeleton on it...so it looks like your skeleton while wearing the dress. Stunning! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_1&listing_id=15814461

I'm gonna be Medusa myself. But if I looked good in silver I've been been all over this space headdress by EnRapturingReVisions: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_13&listing_id=7544008

that tattoo is so fun, hubby and I are going to be the alien yip yips from sesame street but I still need to get going on making them

Way to go Holly Messinger! Thanks for representing Kansas City with your georgeous gowns! (By the way, MeadowbelleVintage sis, you'd better believe we're getting candy for dressing up the dogs!)

WOW! Awesome! Thank you so much for including the Jelene/Buttonhead temporary tattoo! :D

amazing items Nice tattoos too!

I *LOVE* that tattoo. :) I'm sure my husband would wear it while answering the door for the trick or treaters...

i love the tattoo. if i get desperate i think i'm just going to scribble it across my head with a marker this year.

Really cool crafty picks above. I used to sew my own costumes as a kid (angel, tomato) so I can imagine the all the hours put into creating them. For anyone interested, I have some dresses that would make great costumes for anything from Marie Antoinette to Ophelia to a Jane Austen/Shakespearian character- great worn alone or with wigs, veils, etc. I also have a bandana in gothic orange with medieval-looking crosses and I'm listing more this week.

I wish I could sew!!

I always hated dressing up! And now that I make fake beards and mustaches, I use every excuse to wear them. Life is funny.

Love Dressing up! I have a fab Juliet outfit in shop, all you need now is a Romeo!!

Princess peppermint is so cute!

I have a number of vintage dresses that would make fun costumes as well. Including a 'Sarah Palin' one:). http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5999763§ion_id=5648326 I love etsy, and all the creativity here!!

I've got great one of a kind pirate hats to finish off your costume :)

Yayy - Halloween Etsy style! I love these picks! And wow, that toolgrrl!

Oh, now I wish I had that beautiful Cinderella costume my Mom made me when I was a kid! I want to be a princess this year....

Adorable PRINCESS PEPPERMINT!!!! :-)

The purple dress by Runzwithscissors is beyond incredible! I LOVE IT! Purple is one of my favorite colors!!! My hubby wants the tattoo! Great selections! :) Gotta love Halloween!! :D Chelle~

I love the Golden Rose Silk Ballgown! I also applaud any pet costumes, as long as the pet is willing. I want to make a pirate costume for my little black cat. Any ideas out there?

The wings on the batgirl costume- Amazing! Reminds me of when my mother once made me a butterfly costume when I was five years old. Memories....
