Girls' Costumes for Dress-Up & Halloween

Start with the sizing chart, not the label age. Maker costumes run by chest and height measurements, so compare your child's numbers against the listing rather than guessing by year. For dress-up that gets daily wear, look for cotton or cotton-blend linings, real snap or hook closures instead of cheap Velcro, and reinforced tulle that won't sag after a few twirls. Halloween one-offs can lean lighter. Expect handmade tutu sets and animal onesies around $25-$55, fully tailored princess and storybook gowns $60-$140, and elaborate caped or layered builds higher. Personalization is common: embroidered names on capes, monogrammed tutus, and made-to-measure bodices. Ask about lead times before a deadline; many ready-made costumes ship in 3-7 business days, while custom-sewn pieces run 1-3 weeks. For recitals or photo shoots, check whether the maker offers matching hair bows or wings as add-ons.
