When you were a kid, did you have a store bought costume, or did you make it yourself?

I had store bought costumes growing up.

@bookerdana cute pic lol
The only pic I have of me with Halloween make-up as a kid is such a confusing one because what was I even supposed to be? Some kinda 60's variation of a vampire? The afro wig was giving 60's disco, the make-up was giving twilight.

@AngelUnforgiven

Not yet. 🤣
My mum was no seamstress but she did occasionally get sowing machine out. She made my brothers Dipsy outfit when he dressed as Dipsy from the telebubies and his green furry coat. Our clothes were mostly bought but she did have fun making outfits sometimes.

I made up costumes from stuff I already had. I got into trouble once when I made a costume and made a cloak to go over the top.. Turned out it was one of a pair of curtains Mum had just bought....

I never had the chance to wear a halloween costume when I was a kid.

@mindstruggle

Did you at least get candy?

@calicuz
No, I just watch halloween stuff at home. The not so scary ones.

@mindstruggle We didn't have Halloween either. In school we dressed costumes for "carnival" and I don't even remember which time of the year it was.

Yeah, my mom too, that's why ee wore the same costume every year until we grew out of it. 😅
Store bought, buttery’s grocery store. Unless mom and dad didn’t have any money and then It was whatever with a bunch of face makeup.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
My parents were making it. I never had a store bought costume and used to take pride in it. 😆

I always appreciated the kids that made their own costumes. They had the creativity that I didn't.
