I'll usually make or do a combo of making and buying

I'll be a buyer:) Not talented enough to make anything...And it's too tempting looking at all the super cute baby Halloween stuff at PBK, etc. There is an owl costume that makes me DIE. And I know if Harper was here, she would totally have all stinkin' $50 of it:)

maybe a combo of both. This year my SIL bought DS's costume.

I'll make LO's costumes. I worked in the drama department's costume shop in college so I've got the skills. My mom always made ours growing up and we would wake up on Halloween morning with our costumes hanging on the closet door - it was always so exciting. I hope my costumes are half as good as hers were.

I'm pretty crafty but I always buy DS's Halloween costume. I love Old Navy's costumes because they are super warm. He usually ends up with 2 because they are so cute and I can't help myself We usually go trick or treating twice. Once in my grandmother's neighborhood and then in DH's parents neighborhood.

bought from etsy so sorta homemade

@jholler25: OMG!!! I love it!!!

Making. My mom is the sewer but I help. She has made my costumes since I was little and now she makes my kids

I can't sew for crap. However my mom is amazing at the sewing machine. Clearly I did not inherit that from her. Therefore, I envision that she will be making them going forward.

@jholler25: International shipping What's funny is it's supposed to be a discount on shipping, they even crossed out the price in red like it's a sale!

I've come to terms with the expensive owl costume and I think I'll try to make a tutu and buy an orange onesie and DIY myself a fluffy pumpkin outfit. I've never made a tutu before, but it can't be that hard.

I can sew, but not that well that whatever I make won't look totally homemade. There's no shame in that, but really, my sewing isn't going to make my son stand out in a good way.

I'll buy. I really wanted to make DS's costume this year, but we won't even be in the US for Halloween, so I am saving it for next year. I hope I can find someone to make it for us, because I don't know where I can buy a Swiss Guard costume. If someone can find it, then they get a gold star!
