Unique Fabrics Improve The Look And Feel Of Your Costumes

By Dorothy Thompson


Halloween is fast approaching and creative parents everywhere are preparing costumes for their children and themselves. Everyone seeks to come up with a totally unique concept, but sometimes those who put things off have to throw it together. Whether the family plans ahead or puts the seams together with safety pins, unique fabrics help make any costume stand out.

Some of us middle-aged people had moms who were very busy about this time of year, as our costumes were always made by her loving hands until we were old enough to make our own. She had few retail stores available to her. In the 1980s most of our career mothers kept to a tight budget that might include fabric and glitter, but no store-bought baubles.

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.

As we reached our teens, we and our little brothers and sisters were often able to Trick-or-Treat in groups with all our friends. In those days there was a notion that people were reasonably safe. With costumes made by our own hands, both for us and our thankful siblings, we learned to journey through our towns and neighborhoods under a veil of darkness that filled us all with a tingling excitement and fear.

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.

One clear advantage of making costumes ourselves, besides cost effectiveness, is that we can make sure the finery fits the way it should. For children, using extra cloth at the seams can allow us to cut the threads and make the costume a little bigger the next year. One issue that certainly complicated Halloween for many of us was how uncomfortable and ill-fitting such outfits tend to be.

For parents who want to create costumes for our Millennials, there are no limitations except the boundaries of our own creativity. Three-Dimensional printers can actually print gowns and masks that suit our own artistic vision. Costume contests have become an International obsession as party-goers will broadcast their entire night Online.

LED light bars and tubes have added an impressive new element to the Trick-or-Treat. Parents can be worry free on All-Hallows Eve, knowing their children wear visible clothes and race through streets on lit-up bikes with flashy helmets. Motorists must still use caution on this night, but even with the added dangers of modern life, we can lessen the risk when we light up the night.
