Joy's Halloween Pictures
Just when I thought my boys had "outgrown" mom making them
costumes.....they opted at the last minute NOT to get a scary mask but to have me create them something after all. There was minimal sewing involved. These optical illusion costumes were lot's of fun and a big hit! 12yr old son was a baby riding on a grandmas back. I made a black oversized dress cut much longer in the back and worn over a stuffed backpack. A purchased baby outfit with bonnet, cane and brocade handbag to complete the "look". 10 yr old son was a cowby abducted by a gorilla!!! Purchased a gorilla mask, feet and 1 hand (rather cheaply on e-bay) and made a simple fur suit to match. The legs of old pants are stuffed, held up to son with a belt and the gorilla arms tied around them to hold them up. Top of the gorilla is stuffed and held up around sons neck with a strap. Very HOT to wear. But VERY FUN! 14 yr old daughter was your typical flashy "Rockett"-type showgirl. Check out the pictures..... Joy |

Even staring at them I can't quite work out where your kids' legs are. I will check out your main site later, off-peak - looks wonderful. Trish |

Even staring at them I can't quite work out where your kids' legs are. Trish I know. These optical illusion costumes are amazing to me too. This gorilla suite is plopped in a rocking chair here and every time I walk past it I have to take a second look because it honestly looks like a gorilla is sitting squashing my poor son...and with a stupid monkey grin on his face! All for the price of a second hand mask on ebay, some 40% off fur at Joanns and outgrown pants and shoes. My son got the idea from a costume he saw on the internet that was selling for over $1000. pictures at Joy |

So original! I wish the kids around here would dress up. They don't, they grab a grocery sack and run from door to door as fast as they can, begging for candy. I've stopped handing it out. Dawn |
