Rubies Marvel Classic Child's American Dream Hoodie Costume Dress
Halloween is fast approaching, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is as strong as ever. I bet loads of kids are going to be wanting to dress up as their favorite superheroes to go trick-or-treating, but it can be difficult to find decent comic book superhero costumes for girls. That's why I've made this post, to give you a handy guide to all the cute Avengers costumes out there for young girls. 
Captain America Avengers
Costume Tutu Dress/Mask

First of all, we have the brave and the bold, patriotic super hero that is Captain America! There is actually a lot of choice when it comes to this hero, so I thought I would just include two of my personal favorites for you to take a look at. Up above we have a lovely piece from Rubies, a bright and shiny blue Captain America dress with a hood in case it rains.

Second, on the right is a lovely costume with a bit of a darker color scheme. Every set comes with the adorable sparkling tutu dress, the winged Captain America eye mask, and a pair of matching red gauntlets.

Regardless of which costume you choose in the end, be sure to finish off the look with a bold Captain America shield


Avengers Black Widow Classic Costume
Here's my favorite of the Avengers - the kick-ass former assassin Black Widow. Featured above is an amazing Black Widow costume that any fan is sure to look incredible in and have a lot of fun with! A matching wig for the Black Widow costume is available here. Another popular accessory to go with this outfit is this spy gadget belt. If you preferred her outfit from Age of Ultron, you can find that here.
Rubie's Marvel Universe Classic
Collection Lil Rescue Costume

Iron Man II Iron Ironette Avengers Assemble JR Teen (7-9)





















He's one of the most popular of the Avengers, despite finding a way to nearly cause the apocalypse every movie, he's Iron Man! Above are two beautiful Iron Man costumes, one for younger girls and another for tweens. Both come with the matching masks too, to complete the look.

Marvel Universe Thor Girl Costume, Red/White/Blue
Here's a costume that has only become available recently - my attempts to find Thor costumes for girls in the past has never ended in success. It was well worth the wait though, the costume above is very true to the character's look and looks pretty sweet. It comes with both the dress and the headpiece - all you need to finish it off is a hammer!

Rubie's Costume Avengers 2 Age of Ultron Child's Deluxe Hulk Costume

Child's Hawkeye Costume
Sadly there are no more feminine Hulk costumes out there at the moment, but if she's a tomboy I recomment picking up the costume above! It comes with the muscle chest jumpsuit with attached boot tops and the Hulk mask. To finish off the look, why not pick up some hulkish green hand gloves!

Last but not least, on the right we have Hawkeye! Each version of the costume comes with the sleek black jacket with attached shirt-front and pants with attached boot tops. You can get a child's replica of his awesome bow right here.

It's gotten fantastic reviews, and is sure to make anyone look stunning this Halloween. If you don't already have long black hair like Katy does, you can complete the look with this matching Katy Perry wig

Moving away from California Girls, I'm also a huge fan of Katy's sensual jungle girl costume from the music video for Roar. On the left is a great replica of it for you to check out, and it comes with loads of stuff: the tiger print bustier, the sexyleaf-look skirt with shorts, the brown armbands, and the amazing floral headpiece.

Top Beautiful Queen Elsa and Princess Anna Costumes for Girls (Disney's Frozen)

Pettigirl Girls' Dress 5 Pieces Gift Set
Frozen remains my favorite Disney movie of all time, and it seems the hundred of little girls I've seen around the country dressing up as the characters to see the movie, shop at the Disney store, or even just go out for lunch, agree with me. I love seeing mini-Anna's and Elsa's running around (even if the only line of the movie is 'Let it Gooo' on loop), so I've decided to make a post on my personal favorite Anna and Elsa costumes that I've seen. Here they are! Oh, if you are shopping from the UK or EU, you need to go here.

Frozen: Elsa Deluxe Girl's Costume
First up, starting with the Snow Queen herself, we have the beautiful Pettigirl costume set features above, with a wonderful sequinned bodice and silky skirt. It is super affordable, and it comes with a tonne of stuff too. With every set you get the stunning blue dress, the white sparkling cape, a glittery tiara as well as a matching necklace and bracelet jewellery set. She can wear those on the day-to-day as well, which is pretty neat.

Secondly, on the right is the officially licensed Elsa costume from the Disney Store! It features a stunning shiny blue dress with a glittery organza overlay with snowflakes on it. It's super cute, and she is sure to love it! There's lots of accessories you can match with it too - if your little girl wants a cape, here's a lovely Frozen inspired cape, and a matching tiara is available here.

Rorychen Little Girls' Snow Princess Costume Dress with Cloak
While it's definitely the outfit everyone remembers, Elsa's blue dress isn't her only outfit from the movie. My favorite is actually the dark, velvety number she wears for her coronation - it's incredibly beautiful. Above is the best replica of that outfit that I've found so far, a gorgeous dress costume with a matching cloak. You can even buy some matching coronation gloves to go with it here.

Girls Frozen Snow long-sleeved snowflake snow princess dress
Disguise Disney's Frozen Anna
Deluxe Girl's Costume
Next up, we have the plucky and determined Princess Anna! She has some super cute outfits to choose from, starting with her main dress that she wears to go trekking up the mountain in search of Elsa. Above is the full outfit, with a long-sleeved, flower embroidered dress with fur lined pink cape to go with it. If you choose this costume for Halloween, be sure to also pick up this adorable Princess Anna wig with matching snow-cap to complete the look!

If your little Princess wants the outfit without the cape, you can find a lovely replica of Anna's main gown on the right, complete with a purple slip to give the skirt some lovely volume. This is the officially licensed Disney Store dress, so you are guaranteed good quality from it. Why not buy this cool pink Princess Anna tiara to go with the costume? You can even get a matching jewellery set to go with it, if you especially want a treat.

ReliBeauty Little Girls' Princess Anna Print Short Sleeve Bubble Dress
Anna also has her own alternative outfit for Elsa's coronation, and it is super pretty. Above, made by ReliBeauty and available for ages 3-7 years, is my favorite replica of this dress, a gently pleated skirt with a cotton and satin embroidered top. Any little girl is sure to look amazing in this wonderful costume, so I highly recommend it!

Disney Pixar's Inside Out: Costumes for Women and Girls


So you know that sequence from the beginning of Up that made everyone cry? Well say hello to a movie which is that, but all of the time. I seriously love Disney Pixar's Inside Out to bits, and I'm planning to go as Sadness to my next Halloween bash. So, I've done a fair bit of research on the topic, and thought I would give you my guide to dressing up as the ladies from Inside Out.

Joy Replica Dress
Blue Pixie Joy Costume Wig Inside Out 
First up, we have the leading lady, the ever happy Joy. Up above is a replica of the dress she wears in the movie, and you can find kids sizes here! The best thing about this cute little summer dress is that it's perfectly appropriate for non-cosplay wear as well as Halloween, so you are sure to get a lot of use out of it (little girls should especially love it!)

Once you have the dress, you'll need all the accessories to go with it. If you want to be true to the movie, you'll go bare-foot like Joy, but since that might hurt your toes I recommend picking up some cute green sandals like these.

Meanwhile, to get Joy's stunning blue crop hair, just pick up the cool Pixie wig on the right. Easy peasy! Now get out there and make some happy memories.

Inside Out: Sadness Glasses and Wig
Chunky Long-Sleeve Turtleneck
A Sadness costume will help you relax and dwell on the weight of life's problems. This cute little bundle of...uh, non-joy is my favorite character from the movie, and one of the easiest to dress up as. All you need is a white turtleneck like the one on the right (here's one for kids), a normal pair of dark blue jeans (you'll probably already have these at home), and a blue wig and nerd glasses to match. I've featured the perfect wig and glasses set above - it will fit most adults and children easily and is super comfy!

That's the outfit; the last thing you will need it some blue face paint. Beware, ordinary facepaint will get on your clothes! If you have a bit of extra room in the budget, I strongly recommend picking up Kryolan Aqua-color - it's the makeup professional cosplayers use and it doesn't rub out on clothes, meaning you'll be able to use that cute knitted sweater again when the winter comes!

Disgust Inside Out Kids Costume
Medium Long Straight Flapper Bob
Heat Friendly Cosplay wig
Last but not least, we have the stylish Disgust emotion! Up above you'll find another great summer dress in the style of her outfit that you can wear in the day to day as well as for dressing up kids. Sadly there isn't an equivalent costume for adults, but you can adapt by using a green skater dress like this one.

With the dress ready, it's time to do your makeup, hair and practice your best disgusted faces. For the hair, I recommend picking up the cute green wig on the left; it suits perfectly. As for the make-up, Disgust's look is a little more complicated, so I've included a great make-up tutorial video below for you to check out. It also includes guides to making yourself look stunning as the other emotions, so it's well worth watching in full.


So there you have it! One cool guide to dressing up as Joy, Sadness and Disgust from Disney's Pixars 2015 movie Inside Out. I hope you found some great ideas for your costume and have a lot of fun dressing up. Be sure to check out the rest of my blog for even more fun costume ideas for women. Have a great Halloween!

Pretty sweet! You can get it in children's sizes here. That said, if you REALLY want to go all out, then check out the life-like Minion mascot costumes below!

Lady Tremaine and the Ugly Stepsisters (Disney Costumes for Women 2015)

Anastasia Deluxe Adult Costume
Lady Tremaine Prestige Costume
Women's Deluxe Drisella Costume





















To celebrate the new Cinderella movie, I could hardly forget to feature the stunning outfits of the evil stepmother, Lady Tremaine, and the ugly stepsisters Anastasia and Drisella, to go with my Cinderella costumes post.

Disney's Cinderella Costumes for Women (in the Style of the New 2015 Movie)

2015 New Blue Women's Cosplay Dress Halloween Party Costumes Custom Made Adult
With a new re-imagining of Disney's Cinderella comes a whole new aesthetic, a new and original way to dress up as your favorite childhood princess! This post is devoted to all the cutest costumes that will allow you to do just that. If you are looking for the classic Cinderella, you can check out these costumes here.

Disguise Women's Cinderella Movie Ultra Prestige Costume
Cinderella Adult Movie Costume Adult Movie Dress
I love the new design for Cinderella's dress - it has more of an enchanting, ethereal feel that the original which gives our Princess a much more mystical, down-to-earth vibe. I've featured three versions of the dress here, the darker blue one at the top of the page, a lighter blue one, and one with a shorter, sexier skirt. Pick your favorite!

Movie Cinderella Brown Curly Anime Cosplay Wigs
While you can find the officially licensed Cinderella wig here, I much prefer the one featured above - it's only $10 more expensive and has a much more realistic, less cartoony look, which goes better with the more realistic style of the new movie. It can also be washed, unlike most wigs (they usually just fall apart when you do), which gives it much more re-usability. 


Last but not least, makeup! In the movie Cindy has quite a demur style of makeup for the eyes and some stand-out lips, but if you're more of an eye-gal, check out the tutorial above to learn how to create a truly stunning Cinderella-style look for your eyes. The end result is pretty amazing. So there you have it! I hope you have a lot of fun dressing up and have a great Halloween.
