Where can I find a good belle costume from beauty and the beast?

Have fun! They have adult costumes, too!|||2 choices:





Stores: Local Halloween costume stores (esp. the ones that open just for Halloween. Where I live he have places called Halloween USA that only open in Sept/Oct for the seasonal rush). The thing with those places is they are overpriced, and the costume (usually you buy them prepackaged) are a bit cheap. And/or possibly Walmart, Target...better prices, less selection.





OR





Have someone sew you one! - You can buy the patterns for any costume you can think of at fabric stores or online (try websites for McCalls, JoAnn fabrics, etc). If you can't sew, you've got to know someone, or someone's mom that can. It's a simple process of picking out the right sized pattern for you, buying whatever fabric you need at the fabric store, and sewing it together. My mom is a seamstress and she can do a whole costume like "Belle" in a day or less. She used to sew all my costumes growing up.





A third option that's pretty tricky is to piecemeal the costume together by looking for the components at department stores and resale shops. Can be hard to do if you are looking for an unusual costume.





Good luck!
