Halloween Ballerina

Putting Together a Halloween Ballerina Costume

Halloween costumes do not have to be scary. In fact, one of the most popular costumes for little girls is the Halloween ballerina costume. Far from scary, the Halloween ballerina costume is a staple every year during trick-or-treat and any number of parties just as much as mummies and vampires are. The great thing about a Halloween ballerina costume is that you can make it at home with little trouble. Here is a little bit about how to make a ballerina costume for your little one.

First off, the hair is the thing when it comes to a ballerina costume. If she has enough hair, have your little ballerina put her hair back in a tight bun. If she has shorter hair, have her slick it back with gel or mousse to get the proper effect. The hair goes a long way in “selling” the look.

Secondly, no ballerina costume is complete with a leotard. You can buy one, borrow one, or can recycle one from another child. With that, you will definitely need a tutu. This will need to be made from stiff organza material that will accent the look. Your ballerina will be taking shape quickly with the right tutu.

For the Halloween ballerina costume shoes, you can look at your local thrift shop. If you cannot find them there, try any slip on shoe that matches in color. Remember that it is cold in October in many places, so make sure your little ballerina has the proper footwear. If you have to forgo the shoes, then do it.

As you can see, the Halloween ballerina is as big a part of Halloween as many monsters. What’s more, you can always put the costume together at home for a lot less than buying one in a store. The costume will be more authentic and your little ballerina will even be able to help make her costume. The experience will not only save you money but be a memorable one as well.
