Great Celebrations

Often times when a couple is going to a Halloween party, it is difficult to creatively come up with a couple’s costume that hasn’t been overdone at a party. Disney’s Beauty and The Beast is a popular children’s cartoon and a great idea for a couple’ costume. Additionally, if you and your husband take the children out on Halloween, these adult costumes are kid appropriate so you can dress up with the children while going trick-or-treating. So, if you have your heart set on you and your spouse dressing up in Beauty and the Beast costumes, here are some simple ideas to help you reach that goal.

Beauty And The Beast Costumes Can Be Created In An Afternoon

When creating the Beauty and the Beast costume, Belle or Beauty’s costume is something that can be created very easily out of a yellow or beige colored prom dress, of course, the more true to the actual cartoon figure the better but it really is open to personal preference and what is available in the prom dress selection at your local vintage, consignment or resale stores. Costume wigs are available if you want to have hair that resembles the long curly locks of Belle and costume jewelry should be subtle and elegant. If you have matching long opera gloves, those would be an elegant addition to the overall appearance of the Belle costume.

Cleopatra is always a popular costume for adult and child Halloween parties. It is a very easy costume to create at home and while versatile enough for both child and adult, the adult version can be recreated to be very sexy if that is the wish of the wearer.

Creating Your Own Cleopatra Costume In One Afternoon

The basic costume requirements for a Cleopatra costume include a white sheet or long dress, a decorative sash or cloth belt of some sort, gold costume jewelry and a long dark wig with straight hair.Â

While a white dress is an ideal for your Cleopatra costume, it is possible to visit a thrift store and purchase a white sheet instead. With creative folding, cutting and arranging, a sheet can be worn in a classic Egyptian looking style. If you are unsure, do an online search or look in an encyclopedia or art history book to locate images of the Egyptian culture or Cleopatra herself for an idea of what the dress or sheet should look like.
