Halloween costumes for infants

[karilynne_97]

I'm looking for websites that have Halloween costumes for infants. I've checked out Babycenter.com and they have a limited selection for DD's age (she'll be 7 months @ Halloween). Please let me know if you have any suggestions!

Thanks! :D

[December27JJB]

I'm looking for a halloween costume for DD as well. I have my eye out for an octopus costume that Babystyle.com had last year. I have no idea if they're going to sell them again this year. I did find one on ebay but its 6-12 months (DD will be 4 months on Halloween) In case you're interested (its on ebay):

Ok, I admit....i've already bought my DD's costume(s)...yep 2 LOL.
I couldn't decide, so I bought them both. I'm still waiting for the lamb to arrive then i'll try them on and probably sell the one that doesn't "fit" her (size and cuteness-wize). I think i'm leaning towards the lamb right now though :D

They have a huge selection of costumes on www.BuyCostumes.com





P.S - Paige will be around 7 months on Halloween too :)

[Cohl]

One Step Ahead has some cute ones too. I bought my DD's from there last year:

I am thinking about this one from infashionkids.com for this year.

Lots of cute ones here. (http://www.brandsonsale.com/infant-halloween-costumes.html)

A nice collection and seemingly reasonable prices here. (http://www.halloweencostumes4u.com/infant.html)

One more here. (http://www.anniescostumes.com/chnewtod.htm?source=adwords)

The cutest baby costume I've ever seen was a baby dressed as a ladybug sitting in a red wagon "dressed" to look like a leaf! The little ladybug just sat happily on her "leaf" while her mama pulled her! TOO cute!!!

Good luck! Let us know what you pick!

[Mom2Cole]

Cole was the Tom Arma Elephant last year! :D

Check out the website (http://www.tomarma.com/)

Not sure what he is going to be this year...pretty certain he will be something from the T. Arma line! ;)

[LeslieR]

Soooo cute!!!

I love these:

It reminds me of the Baby Einstein catapillar!! :D

[dana b]

december babystyle already has their costumes up http://www.babystyle.com/common/dProductFrame.asp?DepartmentID=1&CategoryID=1625&SubCategoryID=2024&ClassID=2915 . they have the octopus in pale pink this year, too cute. i suggest you get it now if you want it, last year they sold out and they were going for $80. on ebay. i got it for my dd last year and it ended up being way too big (she was also 4 mos.), the sizing looks a little different this year though.

i really want a homemade sock monkey costume for my dd this year, i'm gonna look for a seamstress to make it.

[December27JJB]

dana b Thank you so much! I'll definitely get it now!

Sock Monkey costume. How cute!!! ;) I wanna see it when you get it made!

[Etoile]

that octopus is the cutest freaking thing i have ever seen!

[JenniferEC]

There are some infant costumes at www.birthdayexpress.com. I just bought DS his costume from there and it arrived on Friday. So cute!

[twinnyme]

BooeyJ2 - did you get the Panda costume at the site you mentioned?? (Never mind, I just looked myself!) Thanks for posting it!!!! It is too cute. We have a panda stuffed animal - first gift that DH got me - and we take a photo of DD with it every month on her birthday. It would be a perfect Halloween costume for her. Now I have to decide between that, "Baby Chewbacca" (somehow, DH's friend's nickname for him is "Chewy" - from Chewbacca), and "Becca Boo" - a simple "Boo" onesie that I have yet to find, and then add "Becca" to it - it's a nickname we often call her!

I have some costume sites bookmarked at home. I'll come back and post any if they're different from the sites already mentioned (I recognize some of the sites).

[Aug2002Bride]

Im looking for a cute eeyore costume. Does any stores have costumes out yet? Anyone know?

[Cohl]

onestepahead has this eeyore costume for around $35

http://www.onestepahead.com/images//product/family/11582-v.jpg

but the smallest size is 12 months

and www.disneydirect.com has this one starting at 12 months on sale for $19.99

[Cohl]

ok I'm on a roll now. LOL I found this Eeyore for babies 3-12 months at www.buycostumes.com

http://images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/11420.jpg?is=225,225,0xffffff

[Ummm]

these are so cute!!!

[twinnyme]

I also just found some Eeyore ones at Amazon/Babies R Us (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/227149/1/ref=br_lpsp_pg/103-1026152-2460627?)

[Aug2002Bride]

those are both cute! Thanks so much!! I had found the Disney one after I posted and went searching! DD will be 11 months old so I guess Ill just go with the 12 month size...even though shes very petite! She is now 8 1/2 months old and can still wear 3-6 months and some of her shorts are even 0-3 months!!!!

[karilynne_97]

OMG, these are sooooo cute! We're going to have a hard time picking something out for Kassidy, and I'm going to have a hard time convincing DH that we need to spend $50 on her first Halloween costume, cause you only have your 1st Halloween ONCE! :D

[twinnyme]

Apparently, Lillian Vernon Kids has costumes, too - I just got a catalog in the mail from them the other day. Go to:

Lillian Vernon (http://lillianvernon.com/home.jsp)

[wagsgirl]

Has anyone seen a Piglet costume for a 3 year old. I looked at Disney and they only go up to 24 months. According to their chart, she'd need a 4T. My DD loves Piglet and I'd really like to make her that for Halloween as I'm considering the Roo costume for my DS...

[EmilyZA]

Is Halloween not the best Holiday for kids? The have the best costumes now-a-days!

[Dally]

There are some cute costumes at Babystyle (http://www.babystyle.com/content/halloween/halloween2005.asp).

My DD will be just five months old for Halloween, so I am thinking of something like this:
http://a940.g.akamai.net/7/940/449/0001/www.estyle.com/images/product/11301_MID_r.jpg

I like the octopus, too. :)

I can't seem to find one either, but I found this on ebay...it's a pattern to have one made for sizes 1, 2, 3 or 4 T :)

[dana b]

i ended up ordering almost all of the babystyle costumes for dd to try on. i think we may end up using the chick, it's really cute. also, the green fish was adorable. here's another site halloweenstreet.com (www.halloweenstreet.com) .

[mia's mama]

I got the chick from Babystyle for my DD too. :) I was going to go with the pink Octopus, but then realized how pissed Mia would be if she wasn't able to crawl around in it...and the chick is SO soft! Now on the hunt for yellow tights...any ideas dana b?

[sdianems]

Just got an email from Lillian Vernon (http://www.lillianvernon.com/catalog/category.jsp?parentCatId=7&origin=head) today advertising their Halloween Items with Free Shipping! They have Costumes, Decorations & Accessories:

[dana b]

mm i was surprised, the chick is even cuter in person. for tights -- there was an old martha stewart kids costume with a white chick wearing red and white striped tights, it was really cute, so i might try to find those (good luck :rolleyes: ). otherwise, it's yellow or possibly dark orange with orange shoes. can you tell i've put a lot of thought into this ;)

[Cohl]

I thought I had decided on DD's costume until I starting visiting this thread! Now I just can't decide!

[littlebear]

Childrens Place (http://www.childrensplace.com) just put some costumes up online plus I think Gymboree has some. I got DS's at Sensational Beginnings (http://www.sensationalbeginnings.com)
http://www.sensationalbeginnings.com/images/p714b.jpg

I love this one too.
http://www.sensationalbeginnings.com/images/p7864B.jpg

[mia's mama]

danab- I found some really cute orange/yellow striped tights at Children's Place...in case you're interested!
http://www.childrensplace.com/www/b/TCP/images/styles/353417_m.jpg

[December27JJB]

danab I found some yellow tights for you online They are $5. (12 months old and up)

http://www.welovecolors.com/images/16_Solid_Color_Opaque_Tights.jpg

"40 denier non-run nylon tights. Colors shown are yellow, neon pink, violet. Our tights are great for school, church, holidays, Halloween costumes, holiday costumes, theater performances. Baby tights, to toddler, to preteen to teenager. Baby tights size 12-24 months. Toddler tights size 1-3.

For Halloween, our baby tights or infant tights are just what you need to complete their halloween costume. See our wide range of hard to find colors. Solid Colors "

[marchfamily]

mm - what size did you get? Your daughter will be around 11 months right?

Anyone else have a costume from babystyle? My baby will be 10 months, but she's on the bigger side (probably 27" and 18 pounds now - at 7.5 months).

[mia's mama]

MarchFamily- I got 6-12 months...I believe if you look at the description it will tell you the weight/height requirements. My daughter is nearly 9.5 months, 27 " and 17 lbs. The costume is still a little big on her. Hope that helps!

[twinnyme]

Thanks to Jodi AKA BostonTeacher , who PM'd me today to say she'd seen a "Boo" sleeper at Kohl's, I finished DD's costume today. Here's a photo. We call her "Becca Boo" all the time. Now I just need to find an orange headband or hat!

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d608b3127cce93b599eacc1b00000015109AZOHLhy1bo

and a photo with the subject herself! :)

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d608b3127cce93b599d4cc2500000015109AZOHLhy1bo

I got the iron-on letters at A.C. Moore. Thanks again, Jodi AKA BostonTeacher !

[Jodi AKA BostonTeacher]

You're very welcome! That came out great! I'm impressed with how fast you work. :) I'm sure Becca will look adorable in it.

[Kanga]

I'm looking for some sort of animal costume for my dd. Probably a chick or a kitten (domestic or wild cat) My edd is only a week before halloween, and I'm afraid she'll be swimming in it, since most of the ones I see are for 0-9 or 3-6 mo. Any ideas? Maybe I should stick with a Halloween outfit instead-like a onsie and some matching orange pants?

I dont know if this will fit its from www.pinktaffydesigns.com

Pink Cheetah:

"This adorable Pink Cheetah Costume costume is one size, fitting babies & toddlers up to 25 lbs. Black stockings and shirt not included. 100% polyester, machine washable. "

There are cute costumes on that web site!

[marchfamily]

I decided my DD will be a chick this year. Let's hope I can keep it to one costume per year... ;)

Chad and Liz -
Babystyle has bunting for infants. They have a super cute little pea outfit.

[dana b]

mm yay!!! thanks for the tights, i think those might be perfect, now i just need orange shoes.

december thanks for the link, i might just get those, too. i was scrambling for tights at the last minute last year.

marchfamily you should be fine with the 6-12 size, that's what my dd is wearing and she's 18 lbs, around 30". we tried the chick, shark, fish and octopus and they're all pretty wide.

chad and liz i think any costume you might find will still be big on your newborn. plus, they're usually made out of scratchy polyester. maybe you could make a costume with a plain sleeper and a hanna andersen pilot cap with some felt ears sewn on or if you're lazy like me, just go with a halloween type outfit.

[lee60657]

I just received DD's costume a few days ago...she is going to be the Tom Arma white tiger...the costume is darling! I ordered it from buycostumes.com. Now if DH can just stop trying to convince me that we need to dress up as Siegfried and Roy :rolleyes:

[twinnyme]

My computer opens to MSN and today there's an article about children's Halloween costumes, if anyone needs ideas:

MSN Article (http://shopping.msn.com/content/shp/?ctid=369,ptnrid=164,ptnrdata=300122&GT1=6996)

lee60657 - that's funny about Siegfried and Roy. One year my nephew was a giraffe and his parents went as zookeepers! :rolleyes: It was very cute, though!!

[karilynne_97]

I think we've decided Kassidy will be a Pink Poodle. Costume from One Step Ahead.

Lauren is going to be a pumpkin

http://www.childrensplace.com/www/b/TCP/images/styles/342452_m.jpg

What would you gals get to go under as far as a shirt and tights? Orange for both?

[lee60657]

Aug2002 - I think orange would look great, if you can find it. I know that I saw black (and I think white) cotton shirts and pants in One Step Ahead. I am pretty sure they were designed to wear under Halloween costumes. They showed the black with their pumpkin costume. Good Luck....it's a very cute costume

[marchfamily]

Does anyone know where to find infant orange tights?

[Aug2002Bride]

I would love to know too...Ive looked online and in some halloween departments around here and cant find anything under 12 months.

[vjel]

august2002bride, DD had that pumpkin costume last year for Halloween! orange tights were too hard to come by so I just went with a white long-sleeved onesie and white tights. she was still cute. :)

[marchfamily]

Ive looked online and in some halloween departments around here and cant find anything under 12 months.

I'd take 12 months.

[BooeyJ2]

I was bad and got a third costume for my DD. I got the pink octopus from Babystyle :) I couldn't resist.

Trying it on........

[LRL]

If any of you ladies are still looking for the a pair of orange tights, they have them at Landsend. I just got the catalog yesterday, and I think they had a light and a dark orange color and started at size 6 months.

HTH someone! I just love looking at these photos of everyones cuties for ideas for Halloween next year!

[Aug2002Bride]

thanks!!!

[sunni76]

I'm so bummed:( I really want DD to be a chick for Halloween, but Babystyle has sold out of it! I could just kick myself for being such a procrastinator.
DD will be 7 months at halloween.
Some other ideas:
Tootsie Roll
http://www.lighterside.com/website/product_db/images/p49763_1.jpg

or maybe the chick from Parent's magazine (if I can somehow be crafty)
http://www.parents.com/images/articles/costume3_1004.jpg

but the one I really love:(
http://a940.g.akamai.net/7/940/449/0001/www.estyle.com/images/product/17962_MID_r.jpg

any other cute chick costumes out there? or ideas how I can still nab one of babystyles?
Thanks!

[Cohl]

ebay has quite a few of that chick costume
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2 F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=%22chick%2Bcostume%22&category0=

HTH!

[Aug2002Bride]

I havent seen it but Ive heard from other moms that the chick at old navy is cute.

[sunni76]

cohlthanks for the ebay link! Unfortunately the costume is pretty $$ over there, not sure I could talk my DH into spending $60 for her costume!!

aug2002brideI did check out the Old Navy one last time I was in the store,it was cute, but not quite as cuddly as the babystyle one. Dang!

[kindermom]

I got the pink octopus from Babystyle
I am soo jealous. We tried to buy the shark and the blue octopus the first week in September and they told us they were both sold out!

We have the Tom Arma Tree Frog for our DD but I am sure it will be HUGE on her so I still have to come up with something for her.
http://images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/19826.jpg?zm=130,130,1,0,0

The sad thing, we bought the tree frog for her so that we can do some formal portraits of her in it!

[Cohl]

kindermom,

I love that costume!! I wish I had seen it before I bought my DD's!

[jrdhbunny]

All of the costumes here are so adorable!

DS was going to be the lion from Children's Place, but the body is now too small, while the headpiece is too big. Luckily, I got some pictures before it became unwearable.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/heatherroal/james_lion_3_cropped_reo_smaller.jpg

Now we have to find one that he can actually have for Halloween! We're leaning toward the monkey from One Step Ahead:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/heatherroal/monkey_costume.jpg

[lil_nance]

My mom always made my costume. I thought I would do the same but I got sucked in by eBay. DS will be either a lion or a cow, I got both :D. For those of you inclined to make a costume. Here's some simple ideas I'm keeping in mind for next year. http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/baby/babyritual/1183248.html?scid=momsbaby:20051010:2416:15799:642 4
