If you're going to a costume party or some other event for Halloween, you probably want to really impress everyone with your costume. And the best type of costume is one that will really let you get into character - something that you feel proud to be wearing. You can put together your own costume or buy one of the cheap ones that you'll find at your local drug store, but to really go the distance and get a great costume it pays to get it through a professional costume store. Whether you rent it or buy it, you'll be a lot happier with the results. A good costume store won't try to sell you more than you need. They'll help you to find a costume that suits both your needs and your budget. They'll also make sure you're familiar with how to don the costume, and any other accessories or makeup that goes along with it. To really make a splash at the costume party, you want to go all the way with your costume. Don't cut corners and try to save a few dollars by going with something cheaper or not as complete. Get all the accessories you'll need - makeup, props, a quality mask, etc. Having the complete package will make your costume that much more realistic (and will make it that much harder for your friends to recognize who you really are!) If you're not sure exactly what accessories you'll need, do a little research. Are you thinking of going as an elf from The Lord of the Rings? Watch the movies again to pick up all the details in the costumes. Or perhaps you want to be a pirate this year? The Pirates of the Caribbean movies can give you a ton of good ideas for your costume. Take the time to get all the details just right and you'll be the talk of the party - even if nobody knows who you really are!
