7 Cute & Inexpensive Girls Halloween Costume Ideas

Little girls and Halloween are basically made for each other. Halloween is the time of year when dressing up in great costumes is expected and little girls love to play dress-up and pretend to be all sorts of different characters. The great thing is with all of the awesome girls Halloween costumes available, not only can girls dress up as their favorite character, but you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a great costume. As a matter of fact, some of the best costumes are basically free.

Here are some great looking girls costume ideas that are either free or inexpensive:

1.    One great costume idea is for an Ancient Greece costume. These are very easy to do as the toga only takes a bed sheet to make and a piece of rope to hold it together. A pair of sandals is all it takes to finish off a good basic Greek costume.

2.    If you’ve already got cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, going as a cowgirl or even a country singer is a cinch. Grab your brother’s toy guns and belt or a guitar and you’re ready to go.

3.    Many little princesses already have a tiara and some may even have a fairy wand too so coming up with a cute princess costume for Halloween is a breeze. To spiff it up, you can get pink gauze material at your local piece goods store for a couple of dollars that will take a girls princess costume over the top.

4.    With a black t-shirt and jeans or a black leotard and black tights, all it takes is a set of cat ears and a tail to turn a little girl into a great looking black cat.

5.    Spending a few dollars on a witch’s hat is a great way to turn a black dress into a full blown witch’s costume.

6.    A kerchief, some black yarn and some electrical tape with a blousy shirt and pants makes for a great girl’s Halloween costume pirate.

7.    If your daughter really likes a particular costume such as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, then investing the money in a costume that’s a little large for her now may be money well spent. While it may be large this year, next year it’ll fit fine and the year after it may be a tad snug but still wearable. This gives you three years of Halloweens out of one costume.

Girls Halloween costumes can be anything from super-heroines to princesses, ballerinas and pop stars so finding or making a great costume can be a bit of a challenge. However, with a little out of the box creative thinking, even Lady Gaga can make an appearance. The best thing to do when putting together a costume is to have fun. That’s the point to Halloween anyway.
