Happy Halloween!



Come and browse our site for great magazine deals.


My sweet little kiddos many years ago on Halloween. I came across these images recently and decided to share what Halloween looked like 14 years ago in our home. (Daniel Boone, Cinderella & a Fairy)



A couple of years later...Dorothy & Little Bo Peep  (sisters and best friends)! 
Little Bo Peep won "Best Halloween" costume and went around asking "Tweek or Tweet have you found my sheep?"


Costume ideas for next year...

I think this stewardess costume would be so cute on a little girl!
UNIFORM:



·         Blue Suit with a Jacket and Skirt  – The “Pan Am Blue” is close to a Royal Blue. Suits can be found at your local thrift store. If you’re handy, you can tailor your jacket to make it fit your ladylike figure and shorten the sleeves.  Similarly, the skirt length is acceptable just to your knee.



·          White Collared Shirt -   Spread the collar over the lapel of the suit jacket.



·         White Gloves -  Gloves should reach the middle of your arm. Opera length gloves are too long.  In a pinch, use shorter gloves, not longer ones.



·         Nylon Hosiery -  In the ‘60s, hosiery was not as sheer as today.  Emphasize that you’re wearing hosiery by wearing a less-sheer style.



·         Short-Heeled Black Pumps - The stewardesses of Pan Am were on their feet all day, so find a sensible, lower heel.



·         Pan Am Wings Lapel Pin - A pattern is available for you to download at http://cdn.media.abc.go.com/m/pdf/shows/pan-am/PA_Hat_.pdf.  Simply print it out, cut it carefully and attach it to a piece of heavy paper or thin cardboard (like that of a milk carton).  Then, affix a safety pin to this and wear your wing on the left side of your jacket (over your heart).



·         Pan Am Stewardess Cap -  A pattern to create your own paper cap is available for download at  http://cdn.media.abc.go.com/m/pdf/shows/pan-am/PA_Hat_.pdf  There’s a pattern for the Pan Am cap pin provided as well.








Absolutely adorable UP (the movie) costumes.  Created by More Than Words Can Describe.



Happy Halloween! Have a spooky (not too spooky) fun night!
