Tech conference Barbie!
I have long blonde hair in 2023 and wanted to make a costume for MagnoliaJS and handing out candy on Halloween, so I decided to make an outfit from the Barbie movie. I used the Simplicity S9291 pattern to sew the dress. I altered the pattern for the straps and the skirt, so it had pleats. It was my first time doing pleats! I also made the hair bow from the same fabric and crocheted the daisy jewelry.
Yes, Abbey!!!!!
You look gorgeous!!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you!!! 💙🩷
Needs more safety pins IMO........
JK this costume was worth the effort 😂😁
prettyy! <3
O multiverso é real hahaha
Acho que minha imaginação foi um pouco longe demais kkk, mas me diverti bastante, nesse Halloween o Coringa foi roubar um banco a modal la casa de papel e não podia de deixar de levar seu amigo Pooh como comparsa.
Não podia faltar aquele teclado maroto para desativar aqueles cheats no estilo gta rsrs
Para isso eu precisei de uma fantasia da la Casa de papel, uma máscara do coringa, um chapéu de bruxa e um poohzinho de pelúcia, ahh e não podia faltar o teclado que uso para codar né.
Muito feliz com o resultado, me diverti bastante, espero que tenha tirado boas risadas de vocês com o coringa da Deep web hahaha
🎃 Good Halloween 🎃
Ficou uma combinação interessante.

I'm a little last minute here, but finally got my costume... ahem, I mean costumes ready.
First up, a hippy from the summer of '69:
And another shot as the same character but with a different guitar:
Wardrobe change! Once trick or treaters started showing up, I morphed into Mankind (a WWE wrestling character portrayed by Mick Foley and freaked out quite a few kids that showed up. At least one kid knew who I was and was super siked to see me, haha!
Here I am doing my best to look big and intimidating as Mankind:
And another one that is less intimidating with our nearly empty cauldron of candy:
Anywho, that's me this year! Happy Halloween folks! 🎃
this is pure gold... love the Halloween costume!!!! @michaeltharrington
Thanks a bunch, Bala! 🙌
MANKIND, YOU FREAKIN' G! ERMERGERD! WAHAHAHA!
The HEY is SOCKO!?!?!?
Hahaha! When you know, you know... and you know. 😁
Bahhhh! I totally missed out on Socko!!... What was I thinking?! I also forgot the dang neck tie and could've used some boots, haha.
So, this is for sure... I will be returning as Mankind in the future and Socko is coming along for the ride next time. Sometime in the future, I'm thinking I'll do the three faces of Foley... I was already pretty much 75% of the way to being Dude Love , haha.
Anywho, thank you for knowing what's up, Jo! 🙌
Hahaha! Well I'll say out the gate I got it. So that to me is the sign of a successful costume in any way. Y'dun-did good 🙌!
Ghoulishly Ever After 💒👻🖤 attire inspired by Beetlejuice and Lydia Deetz
Mooooooooooo
Hahaha! This is great. 🐄
Pirate, and you can't see all the pirate swag on the hat cause of the angle of the shot.
Shiver me timbers! That hat + bear combo is badass, Chris!
For some reason these are the only really quality photos I have... but I made a mermaid costume this year for Halloween! I made the crown myself and dyed some clothing + knit a belt that is unpictured... it turned out looking a lot more like a Fiona from Shrek costume, but it was very fun and cool!
Michaelangelo from TMNT
Haha nice! Michaelangelo, easily the best ninja turtle. 🥷🐢
I know you meant Raphael, but it's okay. Cause like...you know. *We can just pretend that's what you said =P!
*The royal we? Probably.
Did you airbrush this legit? Cause I see that old-school airbrush pattern here.
The results are in, and we are thrilled to announce the winners of our Halloween Costume Contest! 🎃👻
A big round of applause to these talented folks for their outstanding costumes! 👏 Your creativity shines like a jack-o'-lantern in the night, and you've earned some awesome badges to display with pride.
