For many people, dressing up is the best part of Halloween. Making your own costume design can make the occasion even more fun and memorable. Although it can seem intimidating to make your own outfit, there are some powerful perks to designing and fitting your own costume. 

3 Benefits of Making Your Own Halloween Costume

1. Save Money

Purchasing an off-the-rack costume often means paying steep prices for poorly made outfits and fake plastic accessories. When you make your own costume, you can create a more realistic and lasting outfit—all for less than it would cost to invest in pieces from a high-volume costume shop. Furthermore, because you can buy fabrics and supplies in bulk, you could make matching costumes for your entire family for much less than it would cost to buy separate pieces. 

2. Add Personalized Touches

When you create your own costume design, you can add details for authenticity or flair. That can mean sewing sequins to the sleeves, lace or beading to the bodice, or just choosing fabrics in your favorite colors. 

3. Create a More Comfortable Fit

When you make your own outfit, you can customize it to match your precise measurements. Even if you try it on, there may be some pieces that are too small, too loose, or just don’t flatter your body. However, personal costume design makes it easy to fit your costume to your specific body type, allowing you to stay comfortable on the night of the event.
