I don't generally do anything for Halloween but this year am involved with a dance studio and they are having an H party with prize for creativity. I could use as many free lessons as I can get so trying to think of something easy to put together that doesn't restrict movement and isn't so much of A Thinker that I can't possibly win.

How about a chef? You get a puffy chef's hat and pouf it a little with newspapers, and then wear a white apron or chef's jacket over a white shirt and black pants. Then you generously pat flour all over your face and hair and pants and carry a rolling pin or whatever strikes you as amusing about chefs. It doesn't seem all that clever, but I've seen this costume win at a Halloween party! -
Christmas tree. Green leggings/top, and unbreakable ornaments. When I did it I wrapped myself in lights and plugged in a long extension cord - not sure if your dance requirement works for that, but you can improvise...Comment

You can find inexpensive battery operated lights these days. That might be easier.

Both of these sure fit the plan - thanks! Dollar store may have cheapo short life LEDs.Comment

Body: Long night gown that I sewed fake green garland to. Added battery back string lights. The battery pack is smaller than a cigarette pack. This was 15 years ago, I'm sure you could easily find a smaller light pack with LED now. Added some gold garland and cheap plastic ornament balls.
Head: Just a headband that I affixed a big star to.
Legs: Brown tights.
Feet: Tissue boxes that I cut out the bottom and stuck my foot through the top slit. Wrapped these with wrapping paper, ribbon and bows.Comment

A cat from "Cats" = a funky, fun cat....ears, tail, facepaint and a wildly colored body suit/tights/tee/fake fur vest....you could really have fun with this....

My daughter did the makeup for a local production of Cats here. She would be delighted to send you some of her sketches! But I have to tell you, the cat costumes were so involved that the theater actually rented them from a company that specializes in costumes and props for regional theaters.Originally posted by GrayFal View PostComment

Check out these costumes! The "50 Shades of Grey" is really clever.

One year I went to a dance as a "Wandering Jew" (the plant) in a self-created costume, and won a prize... I'll post more about what I remember about it on request - I did have to scrub off some green skin-tint the next day!
