Top Ten Cute Mermaid Costumes for Children

California Costumes Toys Little Mermaid Costume
Let's Pretend Child's Deluxe
Mermaid Costume
Mermaid are magical aren't they? Lots of little girls dream of shedding the surface world for the deep sea, and Halloween is the perfect time to live out that fantasy. To help out all the burgeoning sea-princesses out there, I've collected my top 10 favorite mermaid costumes for children into one place for you to check out. Most of these costumes are also available in the UK and EU here.

The main style of mermaid costume is a slinky dress with a tail shape at the base. Many of these are in soft sea-themed colors, such as seashell purples and light blues that evoke gentle waves, such as the Let's Pretend mermaid costume on the right. Those net sleeves and the pearl beads coming from the skirt are absolutely gorgeous don't you think?

Another of my favorites is the California Costumes Little Mermaid costume featured at the top of this page. The glittery sequin skirt is very beautiful. Each set comes with the dress and the seashell headpiece.

Creative Education's
Pink Mermaid Dress
For girls who love to look pretty in pink, the mermaid costumes need not disappoint! There are load of pink colored mermaid costumes out there to please any girly-girl, such as In Character's mermaid costume featured above. I love how shimmery the tail is, and the contrast of baby blue and bubblegum pink works really well. This would look great paired with a seaweed themed feather boa like this one

Big Girls' Mermaid Costume
Is that not enough pink for you? Well in that case take a look at the Creative Education costume on the left. It features lots of different shades of pinks in shiny and glistening materials Every costume comes with both the dress and that super cute sea-slower themed headband. That'll complete the look!

Need a little less pink and a little more sparkle? Well the Big Girls' mermaid costume might be just the thing for your daughter. The skirt is insanely glittery, and I love how puffy and elegant the base of the skirt is! She'll definitely look like a mermaid princess in this lovely costume.

InCharacter Costumes, LLC Mysterious Mermaid




















If she prefers deeper, richer colors, then check out the two dark blue mermaid costumes above. I love the patterns on both of these - they are so intricate and beautiful! The little net accents on the dresses really add a magical feel to them too. Both include the incredible dresses, while the costume on the right comes with a matching headpiece.

Green/Turquoise Mermaid Costume
Ace Halloween Children's
Mermaid Princess Costumes
Another style of mermaid costume is not to have a mermaid tail at the base of it but instead allude to it with a mermaid shaped dress skirt at the bottom. My personal favorite of these is the green costume above - the shape is unusual and unique and the color is very bold and pretty. I think any little girl would love it!

Child Bubbly Mermaid Costume
Another cute one is the sheer fabric-tailed skirt and interestingly patterned dress on the right. The colors are very dainty, and the little flower brooch on the front of the dress is very pretty. 

For all the little ladies out there who want a more mature look to their costumes, take a look at the bubbly purple and green mermaid costume on the left. It's a ball gown style dress inspired by the Little Mermaid's Princess Ariel. It looks amazing!

So there you go! Those are my top ten best mermaid costumes for kids. I hope you found one that is perfect for your daughter, and wish her a happy Halloween from me!

Mary Poppins is a big part of many people's childhood, and makes a fun and nostalgic costume for Halloween. The look is very easy to pull off too. All you need to start off is the English Nanny costume featured above. This costume is available in child's sizes here. If you are shopping from the UK or EU, you can find Mary Poppins costumes here.

Each set of this costume comes with the black poofy hat, the navy jacket, a ruffled shirt front with ribbon bow, and the blue skirt. You can pick up the matching white gloves here. If you like the shoes the model is wearing, you can find those here!

While the costume comes with a hat, it isn't an exact replica of the one from the movie. One such replica does exist though, and it looks amazing! I strongly recommend that you pick up the hat on the right in order to make your costume supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

First up, we have two cute red and black numbers featured above and on the right. Both feature subtly torn and bloody cheerleader dresses and come with the matching pom-poms you see in the picture. This costume above is available in child sizes here. This costume on the right is also available in child sizes here

I recommend picking up some athletic knee-high socks like these to finish off the look in both cases. You can splatter a few sprays of fake blood on them too if you like. Either way, you are sure to look fabulous whichever look you choose.

Forum Zombie Cheerleader Costume

Zombie Cheerleader Female
Fancy Dress Costume Black
For a lighter look, I highly recommend the Forum zombie cheerleader costume featured above. It has more of a gothic look than most other zombie cheerleader costume, emphasising the 'Zombie' end of things. 

Feeling morbid? So is the zombie cheerleader on the left, even though she's got a great outfit on her. It doesn't come with the pom-poms, but you can get a good set here in a variety of different colors quite cheaply. 

Totally Ghoul Zombie
Cheerleader Costume
Last but not least, on the right is a teen exclusive! I love the color-scheme on this costume, it's very simple and yet very bold and is sure to make your teen stand out a mile away. Each set comes with the cute mini-dress and a matching pom-pom.

My Little Pony Costumes for Girls

Disguise Hasbro's My Lil' Pony Rainbow Dash Tutu Prestige Girls Costume
My Lil' Pony Rainbow Dash Classic
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a hit among people of all ages, and it's easy to see why - colorful characters, cute but simple story-lines with good morals, and an imaginative set of toys to go with it. I bet there are loads of kids who'll be dressing up as ponies for Halloween this year! To help those of you shopping for a pony fan out, I've collected all of my favorite My Little Pony character costumes into one place for you to check out. Let's get started! (If you are looking for costumes for adults, you belong here, and if you are shopping from the UK or EU, head here)

First of all, we have my personal favorite of the ponies, the incredibly colorful Rainbow Dash! She's hardworking, loyal, and has the best design in my opinion. I'm a sucker for rainbows!

You can actually find two Rainbow Dash costume styles out there. Above there is a tutu-dress version, perfect for fancy dress birthday parties where there will be lots of running around and dancing! Each set comes with the dress, a detachable tail, as well as the ribbon bow headband. Pretty cute!

Meanwhile, on the right we have a more realistic style of pony cosplay in the style of the character itself. It comes with the Rainbow Dash jumpsuit, a detachable tail, and the pony face headpiece. That's everything she needs for the perfect Rainbow Dash look. 

My Lil' Pony Pinkie Pie Deluxe
Next up we have the pony who is everybody's friend, the funny and adorable Pinkie Pie! Above is a great Pinkie Pie costume to get you started, a lovely, silky pink dress with a detachable tail. It comes with the arm and leg warmers and the mask style headpiece too. I love the cutie marks on the dress! You can also get an absolutely stunning Pinkie Pie wig here to finish off the look.

Alternatively, if you like the more dressy style of costume, there are not one, but two wonderful Pinkie Pie dresses to choose from! The one on the left comes with a detachable tail and the matching pink bow head piece, while the one on the right has a set of leggings in addition to this. Both are available in small, medium and large.


Disguise Twilight Sparkle Tail Costume
Twilight Sparkle Wig Costume Child
For some reason you have to buy all of the pieces of the Twilight Sparkle costume separately, which is a pain but doable. Above is the tail, on the right is the wig, while the boot covers are available here and the wings here. You can pick up the official dress to go with it here, but I personally think a plain lilac party dress like this one would match the accessories much better.

So there you go! Those are all the best costumes available for your pony princess to dress up as her favorite My Little Pony character for her birthday or Halloween. I hope you found an outfit that is perfect and have a lot of fun with it.

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!
