Movie Costumes: Glitter, Razzle and Dazzle Too!

Which movie star from which movie would YOU like to be? Everybody has a favorite and by creating movie costumes, you can pretend to be your favorite film character at the next Halloween costume party. The way to begin is to study the movie costumes from the movie you wish to emulate. Watch the movie again very carefully and notice what kind of fabric is used, how it moves with the body and how closely or loosely it fits. Make a sketch or find a photo of the movie costume on the Internet and study it carefully from different angles. Use the following tips to make the best movie costumes a costume party has ever seen. If you're not crafty, no worries! There are tons of movie costumes to choose from that you can buy online or at a costume store.

If you're headed to the costume party in a group, movie costumes are a great way to incorporate multiple characters from a movie. You can choose from literately thousands of movies that may be your favorite. If you're headed out on Halloween night with a romantic interest, famous love stories are great for couples costumes.

Movie costumes require planning. Once you have picked a movie it's important to pick a specific personality of the character you choose. Ironman isn't always a superhero, sometimes he is Tony Stark, a plain ol' scientist.. Before you cut, use a tape measure to get an accurate read on your waist, hips bust, arms and thighs. Make sure you hold the tape measure parallel to the ground so that the resulting measurement is accurate. Cut the fabric as you measured and sew the different pieces together, referring to your sketch or printout for reference. Most costumes will need final touches like costume shoes or costume boots. These touches will make or break your costume, so remember to budget for them.
