California Costumes Women's Eye Candy - Sexy Swashbuckler Costume
Ahoy me hearties! Are ye looking fer a good costume idea for this here upcoming Halloween? Well how about dressing up as a swashbuckling pirate? If that sounds like fun, then you've come to the right place. Here I've collected all of my personal favorite pirate costumes for women for you to check out. Let's set sail! If you are shopping from the UK or EU, you can find women's pirate costumes here.

South Seas Siren Costume
I personally like a sort-or Victorian style, steampunk type of pirate, with lots of muted colors and interesting fabrics and textures. There are quite a few costumes that match this description, and here are my two favorites.

Above is the gorgeous two-tier Roma Decadent Pirate Diva costume. The pattern and textures on this gently colored costume are just incredible, and are sure to make any woman look truly stunning and stand out from the crowd. It comes with a real treasure-load of stuff too: each costume comes with the sheer white dress, the incredibly intricate brocade long jacket, the sexy waist cincher, the hat which matches the coat, a belt and even a set of boot cuffs. Pretty good value if you ask me!

I also quite like the California Costumes South Seas Siren costume featured on the right. It has amazing lace material sleeves and a two tiered lace skirt that looks so cute and elegant. She's a real classy pirate queen, I reckon. Each set of this costume comes with the beautiful dress and the matching head-scarf. If you like, you can pick up the matching cutlass she has in the picture right here. Many people who buy this costume like to swap out the headscarf for this cool leatherette hat, so check that out too.

Next up, we move back to a more classic and nostalgic piratical aesthetic, more Captain Hook than Davy Jones, if you know what I mean. Above are three simply gorgeous red and black costumes for you to take a look at from pro-costume makers California Costumes. Any one of them would be sure to make any woman stand out from the crowd, with their bold colors and slimming stripes.

Roma Costume 2 Piece
Pirate Princess Costume
Want your pirate costume to be stark, minimalistic, bold and maybe even a little gothic? Well fear not as there are quite a few costumes to cater to the more black and white buccaneer tastes out there too: here are three which do just that to whet your whistle.

First of all we have the Maria La Fey costume up above, a very stern and imposing pirate captain costume which immediately tells everyone in the room who be in charge of this vessel. Each set comes with the high-quality white blouse with attached jacket, the matching pants and the hat. If you like the boot covers she is wearing, you can pick those up here too.

Captain Black Heart
Meanwhile, standing strong on the right, is the Roma Pirate Princess costume, which almost has a sort of knight-in-shining-armor look to it, with the silver corset style tube dress. It also comes with the jacket, and a full length open-front skirt which can be detached to make it into a mini-dress. Pirates are versatile, after all. You can get the matching boots here, and a similar costume is available here in white

Asymmetric cut skirts look fantastic on any kind of body-shape, and it's the perfect sexy-conservative combo, so it's no wonder they are so popular. On the left and below are two such costumes with unique and eye-catching cuts that I particularly like. The one on the left comes with a dress, ruffled cuffs and pirate hat, while the one below includes the dress, the detachable sleeves, and the red scarf headpiece.

Top Five Sexy Sailor Costumes for Women

Dreamgirl Sexy Pin-Up Sailor Sea Captain Costume, Makin' Waves
California Costumes
 Nautical Doll Costume
Ahoy there! Feel like sailing the seven seas this Halloween with something a little more cheerful and bright than your standard spooky fare? Well here's a fun idea for a Halloween costume: a sexy sailor girl! There are loads of sailor costumes available for women in a ton of different styles, and to help you out I've collected my top five favorites into one place for you to check out. Let's get started! If you are shopping from the UK or EU, you can find most of these costumes here.

The most common style of sailor costume for women is the sort of pin-up girl look you would get in the 1940s. This is perfectly encapsulated with the Dreamgirl Sea Captain costume featured above, a bright and bold white affair with some beautiful patterns than are sure to make you stand out from the rest of the crew. Each set of this costume comes with the dress, the white shrug (great if it gets a bit chilly where you live) and the matching hat.

Dreamgirl Women's Sexy
Sailor Costume Shore Thing
It's not called 'navy' blue for nothing - the red, white and blue look is what we most commonly associate with the soldiers of the sea, so that is one of the most popular color schemes for sailor Halloween costumes. I love the California Costumes Nautical Doll dress on the left - it's like it's straight out of a poster you'd find in the crew deck of a navy vessel from WW2. Each costume comes with the beautiful frilly dress with the attached collar and the cute sailor hat. I recommend picking up a petticoat in order to give the skirt a bit more lift (same goes for all the dresses on this page!). Here's a good one for you to check out. This dress would also look wonderful with some thigh-high socks or stockings, like this white pair, which you can get for less than $5. Pretty great value if you ask me.  

These costumes still not bold enough for you? Then why not add a bit of shine and glimmer to your outfit with the gloriously shimmery Shore Thing costume featured on the left. It's so colorful! Each set of this wonderful costume comes with the lovely dress (which has it's own red petticoat attached, so no need to buy one separately in the case of this outfit), the cute sailor hat the pretty matching wrist cuffs. 

Roma Costume Women's 3 piece Sultry Sailor Babe
Leg Avenue 2 Piece High
Seas Honey Romper
Moving on to some more modern looks, if you want to be the captain of your vessel you'd best take a peek at the Roma Sultry Sailor Babe costume featured up above. Each set comes with the crop-top with matching captain's jacket and the very flattering high-rise shorts. You can get the hat separately here if you like.

Lastly in the costume department, check out the High Seas costume by Leg Avenue featured on the right. Isn't it a cutie? A romper costume is a good middle ground between sexy mini-dress and avoiding your undies being revealed by a stray gust of wind, so I love them to bits, and this one is a particularly colorful and pretty costume. Each set of this costume comes with the romper outfit and the matching sailor hat. You can get matching shoes here, and if you like stockings, these gorgeous thigh-highs go especially well with it.

Chunky Nautical Navy Blue Silvertone
Anchor Boat Necklace and Earrings
Last but not least, here is a bit of a bonus! There is a lot of nautical themed accessories that you can add to your costume, but the best is the range of sailor jewellery available out there, such as the stunning set on the left. You can also get a matching bracelet that would look amazing with any of these costumes.

So there you go! Those were my top five favorite sexy sailor girl costumes for this years Halloween festivities. I hope one of them caught your eye and that you have a lot of fun cosplaying and trick-or-treating.
