Deluxe Alice Costumes
It's kind of hard to NOT love Alice in Wonderland. The classic story is filled with all kinds of strange characters, like a disappearing Cheshire cat, a caterpillar that can talk and a Mad Hatter that has some of the most confounding riddles ever dreamed up! So, naturally, we've made an adult Alice costume as classic as the story itself with this Alice in Wonderland costume. The outfit comes with a blue dress, along with a white apron, which together recreate the classic iteration of the Lewis Carroll character. Just be ready for a tea party when you slip into this cosplay outfit, since you're bound to be invited to a Merry Unbirthday or two!
Women's Witch Costumes
Is there anything more iconic than a witch during Halloween? Of course not! That's why making a traditional witch costume like this one was one of our first goals when we got into the costume-making business. We pulled out all the stops on this classic witch outfit, since it comes with an eerie black dress that conjures up the classic imagery of green-skinned witches brewing over a bubbling cauldron. And no witch can call herself a master of sorcery without wearing a long, pointy hat, which comes neatly packed with this exclusive costume.
Kansas Girl Dress Costumes
Gingham! What can we say? We just love that blue and white checkered pattern, which is what defines this Kansas Girl dress. The costume has a simple style that's absolutely classic. We suggest taking a trip down a yellow brick road to visit your favorite wizard while wearing it! And just check out our fantasy inspired women's costume accessories, like a wig, doggie in a basket and some sparkling shoes to really put the finishing touches to this easy Halloween costume. It's also a great option for women looking for a cute full coverage dress to wear to the next costume party.
Grease Pink Ladies Jacket Costumes
Not all girls need to play by the rules—the Pink Ladies from the classic film, Grease, certainly don't! They're a gang of girls who are twice as tough as their rowdy male counterparts, the Thunderbirds. Now, you can become an official member of the all-girl gang. This women's Pink Ladies jacket lets you play the role of Sandy, Rizzo or Frenchy with ease.

Full Coverage Flapper Costume
If you don't feel like showing a lot of skin, then you don't have to! It's quite as simple as that. This full coverage flapper option makes for an easy way to look fashion forward without showing a lot of skin. The 1920's inspired dress uses dangling fringe along the bottom to make the skirt just a little bit longer than some of our other flapper costumes. The outfit also features short, fringed sleeves as opposed to many of the tank top or spaghetti-strap styles on our other women's costumes. This outfit is proof that you can get a cute Halloween costume while still being modest, so you can feel comfortable and confident when you head out to the speakeasy.
Flirty Flapper Outfit
Maybe you're a little ambivalent about how modest you want to be? Obviously, you don't want to grab something that looks like it was hanging in your grandma's closet, but you also don't want to choose something that's a little too revealing. This women's flapper costume brings together the best of both worlds! It features a modest scoop neckline, along with a tank top style on top, all while upholding a sassy 1920's flapper outfit. It hints that you’re the type of woman who's got a good head on her shoulders, but also isn't afraid to get a little adventurous! It's perfect for any party where you want to keep it PG-13, but still don't want to compromise your curves.
Women's Sexy Flapper Costume
This sexy flapper costume has flirty details for the girl who wants to be a little bit more adventurous with her style! It shows more skin than some of our other options. The hem of the dress is shorter, stopping mid-thigh, and the intricate neckline is show-stopping. The spaghetti strap top has sequin accents, which help to create an alluring look. When you pair it with a set of fishnet tights, it all combines for a look inspired by the 1920's—a stunning way to dress for your adults only Halloween party!
Full Coverage Pirate Costume
There are tons of Halloween costumes for women with swashbuckling savvy! Choosing the right one for you starts with evaluating just how much skin you want to show on your outing as a pirate. This first women's costume gives you a full coverage option, which has a floor-length skirt, and a three-quarter sleeve top. The bust boasts some lace along the neckline to add a classic and cute style, sure to help you get into character. The outfit helps you look ready to set sail across the high seas, all while letting keep a modest appearance. Of course, we recommend you pair this with a set of women's pirate boots to really kick your style into buccaneer mode.
Flirty Pirate Outfit
The next women's pirate costume option takes a step up to make for a slightly more revealing outfit. Although the ensemble keeps the same pirate style, it exchanges the high neckline bust for a tank-style neckline. The exposed shoulders let you show off a tad more skin without going overboard, while the thigh-high leg slit lets you show as much, or as little leg as you like. This cute pirate costume also uses buckle accents to create a slightly more adventurous ensemble, fit for any trip on the seven seas. These elements make it tame enough to wear to a casual costume party, but daring enough to have you feeling like the sexy swashbuckler that you are!
Women's Sexy Pirate Costume
Now, if you want to be the kind of rowdy pirate lass that knows no bounds, then maybe you want a look that lets you command your curves to their full potential! We've got a sexy Halloween outfit for that too. This midriff pirate costume comes with a low-cut, sweetheart neckline for a bold look that will have you feeling ready to assume the role of captain. And one thing is for sure—this isn't your grandma's pirate outfit! The costume bares a couple inches of midriff, so it's much less modest than many of our other women's pirate costume options. If you're looking to pillage and plunder at your next party, then a sexy pirate costume should help you feel fearless in the face of danger!
Full Coverage Red Riding Hood Costume
This first style is a look that's totally grandma approved! The classic Little Red Riding Hood costume brings you all the classic fairytale features of the character in a cute style that works great for any occasion. The skirt hemline stops at the knee for a modest outfit that doesn't show off too much leg. The neckline offers full coverage, while the above the elbow sleeves make for a costume that's still perfectly cute, while putting a smile on grandma's face when you stroll up to her house in the woods! Just make sure to accessorize the ensemble with a basket full of goodies, since that's another thing that's 100% grandma approved.
Flirty Red Riding Hood Outfit
If you need a Halloween outfit that's still okay with grandma, but lets you show off a little extra skin, then why not give this cute Riding Hood costume a whirl? The ensemble comes with an off-the-shoulder style top for a slightly flirty style. It also features some white, puffy sleeves to add the fairy tale character vibe. The skirt stops mid-thigh, so it's a little shorter without showing off too much. We recommend pairing it with a cute petticoat accessory underneath to give it a lively and bouncy appearance. Finally, the long, hooded cape adds a nice touch that we think both you and grandma can appreciate.
Women's Sexy Red Riding Hood Costume
Okay, so maybe this sexy Little Red Riding Hood costume isn't fully grandma approved. This one isn't so much for a hike through the woods as it is for an awesome night of partying with the wolf, since it boldly forgoes some of the more subtle details for something a little more ravishing. The halter top functions as a sexy corset, helping you control your curves. The top also features a daring sweetheart neckline and is completely sleeveless, which combines for a sultry look that will have you feeling like the most stylish woman to ever skip through the woods. The high cut skirt goes well with many of our costume petticoats, so we suggest adding one of those to your order if you plan on wearing this dress.
