A random collection of crafts, costume ideas, recipes, and other miscellaneous nonsense.

I have not updated my blog in.. 8 or 9 years? Wow. Now i see that most of the posts that i wrote i never even hit publish. Oops. I’ve been searching Shein and Amazon for inexpensive costume ideas. I thought I should share as others may be like me and not wish to have their midriff or booty hanging out. It seemed like the perfect time to start back. First up is Sherlock Holmes. I always thought it would be fun to be sherlock for Halloween or a literary themed party. I put together two options. Both are plus sizes on Shein, which means they fit around sizes 12-20.  Want to put this outfit together?

Outfit #2 is a little more accurate to sherlock. It's another coat that can double as a dress. Want to put this outfit together?

I found a ton of cute lavender dresses a’la Isabela from Encanto. I started with tulle to give the princess feel, and also included more comfortable options. You can get away with just the flower behind your ear, but I think the added ones throughout the hair are more Isabela. I added two options, but Shein does have many options for hair flowers.  Oh and use my  code  at Shein for 10% off your order! The first 3 dresses are Shein sizes  2-12.  This first dress definitely will make you feel like a princess! These shoes are the most accurate to the cosplay as well. Tulle Dress   Mary Jane Ballet Flats     Large Flower hair clips   Small Flower hair clips Dress option 2 is more casual and looks so comfy. You could wear this more often after displaying. As it’s more casual, I also added more casual flats.    Off Shoulder Ruffle Dress   Lavender Flats   2nd Option mini flower hair clips   Large Flower hair clips Halloween costumes always have a short sexy option, right? A short tulle flor

Just the thought of dressing up as Tinkerbell makes you feel delicate and petite! Most of the accessories this time are from Amazon, with dresses from Shein. If you already have blonde hair, then you can always buy a bun hairpiece to make a larger bun, or just put your hair in a bun if you have thick hair! Oh and use my  code  at Shein for 10% off your order! This first dress definitely has Tinkerbell vibes! Size 2-12   Fairy cut dress   Tinkerbell Flats   Tinkerbell Wig   Iridescent Wings Rhinestone Fishnet Stockings If you prefer a fit n flare style, then this dress is for you! It still makes a great Tinkerbell, but with a little more coverage. This dress is totally my style so I’m very jealous it is not in my size!  Sizes 0-12 Fit n Flare Dress Tinkerbell Flats   Tinkerbell Wig   Iridescent Wings     Rhinestone Fishnet Stockings For a longer dress that fits regular up to plus:   Cocktail Dress with POCKETS Tinkerbell Flats   Tinkerbell Wig   Iridescent Wings   Rhinestone Fishnet

I loooove that red dress from Suicide Squad 2. The only place that made the costume version in my size was Hot Topic/Her Universe, but It was already sold out by the time I saw the movie. Since the movie came out, I randomly scour the web for dresses that would work for it. Shein just came out with some! Unfortunately my favorite version is not plus size, but I am trying to post a petite and plus version each time.  Oh and use my  code  at Shein for 10% off your order! Regular/Petite sizing:  Shein lists this dress as size 2-10   Now you COULD cut this dress in a diagonal to look like all the other Harley Quinn dresses out there, but I suggest using the updo wig so that you can wear it as the full ball gown.    Want the look? Click the links below:   Red Gown   Updo Wig   Military Ankle Boots This next dress is also listed as size 2-10, but per the reviews, you can go up to size 14. Want the look?

All of Joy’s outfits involve many pieces, and this is no exception. There are actually a good amount of options here. You could use any crazy jumpsuit and bright colored fur coat if you wanted to. I love the blue lipstick and paint under her eyes.  Don’t forget to carry around a bottle of ketchup! Oh and use my  code  at Shein for 10% off your order! This first Bodysuit is listed size 0-10. Solid Bodysuit   Long Blue Coat   Blue liner and lipstick set Fingerless Gloves Knee Pads   Wide Gold Belt   Silver Boots   Lightening Drop Earrings     If you want a little bit of a fancier version, this body suit has wide ruffled shoulders and ruffles down the front. I would probably skip the belt with this one.    Ruffled Bodysuit   Long Blue Coat   Blue liner and lipstick set   Fingerless Gloves   Knee Pads   Wide Gold Belt     Silver Boots   Lightening Drop Earrings     Shein did not have a plus size bodysuit in the right color, so instead I opted for a dress and coat sizes 12-20   Dress     S
