Originally Posted By LuLu hahaha!! Chica, I look forward to your costumes! I definitely want to come in full costume, I just have no idea what it'll be yet! I definitely won't be *making* something elaborate... maybe dd can raid the costume closet at school, we'll see... or else we somehow get real creative. The kicker for me is staying warm! If I could just borrow EdisYoda's cape... and dd in her Padme outfit...

Originally Posted By LilliBelle Well, after searching the 'net for ideas and costumes, I found one and ordered it today. I wanted plenty of time in case it doesn't fit right, or I just don't like it when I put it on. How's everyone else doing with the costume thing??
Originally Posted By LuLu I was wondering the same thing today, but thought maybe it's too early to ask. My goal is to put something together inexpensively, and keep warm! Maybe this weekend I'll rummage thru the closets and see if I come up with any ideas. Can you tell us what's your costume??
Originally Posted By LilliBelle It's a Renaissance type dress with long sleeves and a headpiece with a veil thingy attached. I am concerned about keeping warm as well. I refuse to spend a lot of money on something, that's why I was searching quite a bit. I found a style I liked and with a little luck, there was the exact one on eBay for 30 bucks, $20 cheaper than any other site I could find. We'll see how it looks in person and on me! LOL! I haven't dressed up for Halloween since I was in high school. This will be fun!

I want to do something incorporating a black cape I have, maybe Zorro!

I have a hard enough time with regular clothes, much less a costume, LOL! If DL is open late that Saturday, I will probably want to bop on over there afterwards and not be wearing anything too obvious. Hubby is determined to dress up, but he usually has something easily taken off and can be dumped in a locker. I'm just looking forward to seeing everyone and having FUN, so it's a bit enjoyable planning something out of the ordinary. But it will all come down to my level of comfort and warmth.

Originally Posted By LilliBelle My costume arrived in the mail Saturday. The material is very thin, so if I use it, I will have to wear something under it. It's okay and DH likes it, but I'm not that thrilled with it. I went on Disney's eBay site today and ordered something else for me and a costume for DH. Not expensive, so not feeling that bad for buying another costume. Great deals considering they are selling the same ones on the Disney Direct website for almost $60.00 more each. Is anyone else getting excited? Just a little. . .?
Originally Posted By LuLu I'm excited! I'm still with my Zorro idea... especially after seeing The White Stripes last night (Jack White has been dressing rather Zorro-esque lately). Plus, it's been darn chilly at night, and it's still August! What is the Disney ebay link, por favor?
