The problem with finding costumes for adults is that prepackaged costumes tend to be hard to fit and are often made of cheap material. The even more frustrating part of a search can be cost. Even though adult costumes are made cheaply they also can be very costly. This article will help you find some alternatives to prepackage adult costumes.
Custom made costumes can even be more expensive then prepackaged costumes however, they offer one advantage, they can be worn over and over again. Prepackaged costumes don't tend to last very long. If you plan on wearing them to many events you might find they won't even last out the season. You may consider talking with your local tailor to have a custom costume made. These costumes will last much longer and will be custom tailored for you, so they are sure to fit properly. Many costumes aren't even that hard to sew. You might try asking a family member to help you with the costume. Theatrical groups often have a tailor on hand to make costumes as well. Should you have a local theater group you might consider asking around.
Theatrical groups often will sell their old costumes or rent them for Halloween. These costumes will be made with higher quality then prepackaged costumes. They are also meant to fit real people and not just the 3% of people that can fit prepackaged costumes. If you are looking to rent a costume from a theater group you should start asking around at least a month before your event. These costumes tend to rent out fast because of their high quality.
Making your own costume is also an option. While some people tend to be very talented at making costumes, others may not be. For those people who are not as talented you might consider dressing as something easy such as a pirate or a cowboy. Finding clothing at your local goodwill or salvation army store can be very inexpensive. Often times people will donate their old custom costumes to these types of stores as well. Timing in finding material or custom costumes from goodwill stores is also very important. You should stat scouting shops well before hand in order to get the best pick of material.
Sewing your own custom is also something to consider. While most people are very intimidated by the idea of sewing their own costume it is in fact quite easy. Many patterns now days utilize glue instead of thread or can be sewn by hand. If you have a family member who has a sewing machine you also could consider borrowing that as well.
The key factor that most people over look when looking for adult costumes is time. The sooner you start looking the more likely it is that you will find a costume in time for your event. You may have to go through several avenues before you find the perfect costume but taking your time will be worth it.
