The young children are probably not nearly as excited about the coming of Halloween as their parents. So many of us will pull out our old Singer and create a whole new concept for the coming Holiday bash. Whether everything is planned well in advance or done at the last minute, carefully choosing unique fabrics can make the outfit really pop as well as ensure it is more comfortable than anything bought or rented.
Those of us who are over the age of 30 are more likely to have worn homemade costumes each and every year. There were very few retail stores that carried costumes for young people, and our stay-at-home Mom probably thought it was a waste of money anyway. In those days our costumes might have been a linen Angel with itchy gold-colored halo, or a paper grocery sack tin man.
Very few of us actually liked the costumes we were forced to wear back in those days, and our teenage years were a welcome time. It was then that the potato-sack scarecrow and the itchy and stiff angel got retired or handed down to our unfortunate younger sibling. In a mad flurry of creative exuberance we were able to dress ourselves as devils, vampires, cheerleaders, or Death himself.
Luckily for younger siblings, those of us who embarked on the journey of learning to sew our costumes often assisted our kid siblings with their own more up-to-date Holiday looks. Rather than the worn out ideas we got stuck with, we dressed our sisters up as kittens and we were Josie and the Pussycats. Together we were able to venture much further than our legs had ever wandered.
Back before the days of retail party stores, there were dusty old vintage clothing shops that often attracted our creative attention. While dressing up as Boy George was fine for the Seventh Grade, but we want something more for the Sophomore Pumpkin Dance. Even now many of these havens of antique cloth still stand, and our own teenagers rove their dusty aisles.
When people purchase costumes, there is a great risk that it will not fit the child for which it is intended. Ill-fitting costumes made many-a-Hallows Eve mark our memories with falls as we tripped over skirts that were too long. In addition, without being able to layer the look in some cases, Trick-or-Treat celebrants often suffered extreme heat or bitter cold.
Some of us still make our own costumes any time we are invited to a Black Ball. In fact, some children of the 1980s create a new look for our children each year, and these kids win awards. Not only can we choose from various new colors and textures of fabric, but the new three-dimensional printers can churn up just about anything a mind can conceive.
Younger children can dress up as black angels or white devils these days, as the societal boundaries have been relaxed a great deal since 1989. Should they need to venture through all those dark streets as we did, we can sew LED lights right into their costumes. Masks and bicycle helmets are also an excellent place to tape or glue illumination.
