How to Dress Up as Princess Merida (Disney's Brave)

Courageous Forest Princess Costume
Ready to dress up for heading to adventure? The you need to get yourself a beautiful Princess Merida costume! I've found a truly gorgeous costume above that fits the bill perfectly, and you can get a few matching accessories for it too: here's a cute bow and arrow set, and here is a lovely matching wig

How to Dress Up as Princess Tiana (Disney's Princess and the Frog)

Disney's Princess Tiana Costume
Here's another Disney Princess I've had a ton of trouble finding an adult sized costume for, which is a real shame, because green is by far my favorite color and Tiana has one of my favorite Disney Princess outfits of all time! The leafy pond look is truly gorgeous! Well, at long last I've found a few options for the ladies looking to choose Tiana as their Disney Princess cosplay theme for Halloween or any other costume event. 

Princess Tiana Waitress Costume
The first option is featured above, and it is by far the best option if you want to stay true to the source material while keeping your costume within a reasonable price range, since it is pretty much exact when it comes to replicating Tiana's princess ball gown! Each set comes with the simply gorgeous green dress, as well as a cute matching head piece in order to finish off the look. I'm sure you will look stunning in it!

The second option is to go for her pre-princess look, her bold yellow waitress dress with white apron. On the right is a beautiful replica of that look, and this is a great option if you want a Disney princess costume that is unusual, and not just another voluminous dress. Not that there is anything wrong with voluminous dresses. Speaking of which...


Cosplayhome Princess Frog Tiana Cosplay Costume Dress
Here's the last option. This is a new one for Halloween 2015, this absolutely drop-dead stunning cosplay dress based on Princess Tiana's beautiful princess gown. It comes with the dress and the headband, and while it may not be as cheap as the other options, in my opinion it is well worth the money. It is handmade to your measurements, so be sure to order it in good time for your event. 

How to Cosplay as Disney's Mulan

Mulan outfit Costume Dress Halloween Party Cosplay
I've been meaning to do this post for quite a while, since I just LOVE Mulan - but no matter how much I looked I could never find a decent Mulan costume out there. Well, finally my lucky day has come! I've found the perfect costume. Above is a simply gorgeous Mulan costume I found on Amazon and had to recommend to you all. Enjoy!

How to Dress Up as Princess Ariel (Disney's The Little Mermaid)

Little Mermaid Sexy Dress Costume
So, I've been having a lot of trouble finding a Little Mermaid costume that actually looks like Ariel from the movie - a lot of costumes marketed this way are just sort of generic mermaid costumes, and we can do better than that!

Adult Mermaid Costume
The closest single set costume I've been able to find is the costume featured above. It has the right color tail and bikini top, plus it shows off your midriff in a really sexy way. You can get the matching wig for it here. If you want something that shows off a little less, the one on the right is the best option
.

If you aren't shopping on a budget and want something a little more accurate, then here is what I recommend you pick up. On the right is a beautiful green mermaid tail that the seller will make and customize to your measurements. Pick up one of those, and combine it with a beautiful red wig like this one.

Little Mermaid Tail Skirt
Then, you will need a purple bikini top. There are a number of options here. The first, and the easiest, is to pick up a plain purple bikini top like this one, or if you want to show of a bit less skin, a purple crop top like this one.

Alternatively, you can browse Etsy for an actual purple seashell bra - there are a number of shops that sell beautiful hand made replicas of Ariel's top, making this the best option for accuracy! If you fancy doing your own arts and crafts, you can paint this seashell bra purple yourself. 

Group Costume Ideas: Grease

Leg Avenue - Grease Good Sandy Adult Costume
Leg Avenue Rydell High Cheerleader Costume





















This Halloween, if you have chills that are multiplying, why not lose control with your friends by dressing up as the iconic characters from the movie Grease? Its a really fun look and instantly recognizable by even the few people who haven't yet seen the film. Plus, with the costumes I'm about to recommend, it is a very easy look to pull off! Let's take a look.

Leg Avenue Grease 3 Piece
Bad Sandy Costume
Every grease costume guide has to start off with the star of the show, the cute and demure (and later bad-ass and sexy) protagonist of the film. For most of the film she is in her 'Good Sandy' mode, a quiet and thoughtful young woman with a slightly more conservative taste in clothes. Above you can find two costumes based on her outfits in the movie, her regular clothes on the left and her cheerleading outfit on the right. You can get a matching wig for both Good Sandy costumes here.

Of course, for the final scene Sandy lets her hair down and changes into a sexy little black number, which you can recreate with this off the shoulder black top and these shiny black trousers. You can also get the matching T-Birds Greaser jacket to go with it right here. If you are looking for an easy way to style your hair in Bad Sandy's style, you can pick up an awesome replica wig here. If you want to style your own hair, here's a neat tutorial on how to pull off the look, which also includes a makeup tutorial.

Adult Grease Pink Ladies Jacket
Of course, every Sandy needs her Pink Ladies to back her up when she's on the prowl, whether she's in good or bad mode! There are a number of Pink Ladies outfits out there, but above I've featured my personal favorite Pink Ladies jacket, which will be the staple of your costume. It's very beautiful, high quality, and has gotten consistently higher reviews than other jackets that I've seen!

Leg Avenue Rizzo Dress
Every Pink Ladies team needs a leader too, and that's the tough, no-nonsense Rizzo! There's a really sexy and pretty black dress that I've featured on the left that would make for the perfect Rizzo costume, especially combined with a Pink Ladies jacket. A black chiffon scarf like this one would also look amazing with this outfit. It's a fashion accessory that was really iconic of the 50s.

Of course, one of the most memorable characters from the movies, in all her excessively pink splendor, was Frenchie, the wannabe stylist with a penchant for accidentally dying her hair pink. Below to the right I've featured a wonderful Frenchie costume that should look great!

Leg Avenue Beauty School
Drop Out
Once you have the Frenchie costume, you'll need to style your hair, but don't worry if you don't want to dunk your head in pink hair dye. You can get the iconic Frenchie pink wig here.

If you are looking for some more accessories to perfect you pink lady costume, why not pick up this official Pink Ladies bowling ball bag style handbag? You can also find some pretty cute catseye glasses like the pink ladies wear out there: here's the standard black one, and here's a pink one for Frenchie!

So there you have it, all the costumes you will need for a women's Grease themed night out on the town. I hope you found one that is perfect for you and your friends and have a lot of fun!

Out to find something beautiful and sexy to light the fires of everyone you meet? A common style of firefighter costume is a cute mini dress, such as appears in the two costumes above. My personal favorite of the two is the one on the left, as it actually lights up around the bodice area. Pretty awesome! Both are gorgeous though!

Backdraft Babe Sexy Holiday Party Costume
Above is another mini-dress style of firefighter costume that looks really cool, with the pattern on the dress mimicking the iconic suspender style look of the fire fighter outfit. It's very elegant and form fitting as well, so you are sure to stand out from everyone else at the party! Again, sadly this costume doesn't come with a hat, but you can pick up a cute one here.

Leg Avenue Red Blaze
Firefighter Costume
Last but not least, if you want to leave everything to the imagination but still look incredibly sexy, then the costume on the right might be just perfect for you! Its a form-fitting bodysuit which is sure to look amazing on any woman, and you can find a matching black hat to go with it here.

Top Five Southern Belle Costumes for Women

Red Southern Belle Costume for Women
Howdy y'all! Are you ready to dress up like a beautiful southern belle for Halloween or your next costume event? Then you've come to exactly the right place! This post is going to be looking at all of my favorite gorgeous Southern Belle costumes, as well as recommending various alternatives for high end and budget shoppers. Let's take a look!

Adult Southern Belle Costume
First of all, let's start out big and bold with the amazing red dress set featured at the top of this post. It even comes with a hooped under skirt to give the skirt some lift, which is great value. If you are shopping for a red southern belle costume on a budget, here is one you might like to check out.

Alternatively, if you are looking for something a little less bright and more demure and elegant, take a look at the lovely white and green number on the right. You can also get a similar costume in black and white.

Blossom Southern Belle Costume
If you are looking for something a little shorter and sexier but in the same style and color scheme as the dress on the right, here is a wonderful Southern Belle costume that should be perfect, and comes with the cute purple dress, as well as a matching hat. Why not pair it (and any of these dresses) with this cute pair of buckle-and-bow kitten heels?

Are you a girly Southern Belle who needs her life to be perfectly pretty in pink? Then I would suggest picking up the feminine and enticing Blossom purple and pink costume on the left. It comes with the dress, the hat, and a matching belt. You can even get a stunning matching pink parasol umbrella for it here.
Playboy Southern Belle Costume
As you can tell, the southern belle chic was all about the big poofy skirts and lots of ruffles, and the great  costume above really captures both of those things! The dress comes in six amazing different color schemes for you to choose from. The red and black one is especially good if you want a more gothic look. I highly recommend if you are going for this dress to also pick up a hooped petticoat to help the dress keep its iconic shape.

Last but not least, if you want to combine the southern belle chic with a modern flair, and add a sexy short skirt to the mix, then you definitely should take a look at the eye-catching and beautiful playboy southern belle costume featured in the picture to the right. It's amazing! I just love those sheer puffy sleeves. Each set comes with the bold and unique dress and a matching bag. I recommend giving it some lift with a white petticoat.

So there you have it! Those are my top five personal favorite southern belle costumes, along with a few extras. I hope you found one which is perfect for you and have a ton of fun wearing it. If you liked this post and are still on the hunt for the right costume, why not check out the rest of this blog? There you will find plenty more costume ideas and themes for women for all occasions.
