We’re going to cover all the most affordable costumes for babies from Amazon to John Lewis. Are you ready for our terrifyingly terrific top picks? Pick up your broomsticks, and let’s gooooooo…
Where should I look for inspiration?
Lots of families also choose to dress their little ones up in cute costumes inspired by wild animals. Animal costumes are not only adorable, but they can also reused for other fancy dress events or seasonal events throughout the year. For example, if you dressed your child up in a bunny bodysuit at Halloween, they may still fit into it by Easter!
There are lots of great baby Halloween costumes, too, ghost costumes or baby devils! Other families may choose to keep all their costumes on theme by dressing as the same cast from a film like The Addams Family.
Another great tip if you are struggling to think is to head to Pinterest. Pinterest has a wide range of ideas whether that be DIY ideas or shopping ideas. Start putting a visual board together and you can even start buying regular clothing items to piece together your outfit idea.
