And how much will it bother you if it doesn’t match? If you are going through the trouble of making them, you should love the final result. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costume-question#post-2845594 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 13:20:21 +0000 meadow 2845594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@futuremama: Thanks for the tip - I forgot about Kohls (Even thought I just spent like $100 on myself there recently!). I had browsed target last week for cheap sweatshirts. But everything had a print. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costume-question#post-2845593 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 13:18:30 +0000 meadow 2845593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both pairs of leggings will absolutely go into the rotation for DD. The sweatshirts will be fun to wear - but probably not for much of anything real since they will be so big. Unless my kids think dinos are still cool when they are in like 1st grade..haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costume-question#post-2845453 Fri, 14 Sep 2018 12:42:12 +0000 wrkbrk 2845453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: I would do Primary bc I LOVE PRIMARY haha and I would know the kids can wear the items all year! I try to do that too for my son's halloween costume. This year he will be Mickey Mouse and I ordered the shorts and ears on etsy but the rest will be a black shirt he owns, black leggings, and yellow shoes he owns! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costume-question#post-2845415 Fri, 14 Sep 2018 09:25:36 +0000 808love 2845415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just had flashbacks of when Dd was a dinosaur for a school performance and I spent four hours sewing a dinosaur tail to velcro on. Lol. If only i found the no sew method. Cheapest unless you will use it after. I picked up a ninja costume at walmart for under $5 on Labor Day weekend. She has been wearing it regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costume-question#post-2845379 Fri, 14 Sep 2018 08:40:29 +0000 futuremama 2845379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check Kohl's jumping beans line. They have a lot of matching tops/bottoms. I needed light purple tee and leggings. They were $4/pc. They had hoodies in the same color too. I'd definitely go cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costume-question#post-2845372 Fri, 14 Sep 2018 08:30:53 +0000 snowjewelz 2845372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh. I'm totally on the side of going cheaper UNLESS you plan on wearing the clothes as regular clothes after! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costume-question#post-2845346 Fri, 14 Sep 2018 07:14:53 +0000 Silva 2845346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm sewing stuff onto something that i can't easily remove for a Halloween costume I go with cheap. With the leggings, since those could be used again, I'd buy the brand I prefer, since the disposable clothing thing makes me uncomfortable (but I totally do it for costumes when needed).<br /> The color match really won't matter, especially since the sweatshirt is oversized. I like the idea of green leggings, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costume-question#post-2845339 Fri, 14 Sep 2018 06:37:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2845339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely go cheaper, unless they will actually wear the leggings again anyway. But if you go cheaper, what if you alternate the sweatshirt and leggings colors, like do green sweatshirt with blue leggings and blue and green spikes on the back, then blue sweatshirt with green leggings and blue and green spikes? </p> <p>Or I bet you could find matching ones at Walmart or something? I’d only pay up for primary if you’ll get real use out of them. </p> <p>And that’s a super cute costume! I love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/halloween-costume-question#post-2845327 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 22:33:17 +0000 meadow 2845327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS and DD will be dinos for halloween this year. I want to make these costumes with green and blue sweatshirts. Should I order coordinating sweatshirts and leggings from Primary (sweatshirt = $22) or something like Gildan sweatshirts off Amazon for $14 and try to find leggings that sort of match?</p> <p>[attach=6721/18/pf10jh.450x600.no-sew-dinosaur-costume-gingersnapcr-1-.png] </p>
