Dizguise.com Halloween Costumes Review

 My kids LOVE dressing up.  Each year they know what they want to be for Halloween the following year before we have even gone Trick-or-Treating for the current year.
Sometimes their costume choices are super predictable and they wind up being one of a million of said character walking the streets on Halloween collecting candy.
But once in awhile they pick something just obscure enough to make me nervous.  And this year, was one of those years. Thanks to Netflix we've been teaching our kids about the classics.  You know, the fabulous movies of the 80s like Ghostbusters!  So my middle son was determined to be a ghost buster for Halloween.  Thirty years ago, I am sure this was a popular costume, but somehow I didn't imagine a huge demand for Ghostbusters costumes in this century.  So I can't even describe the relief I had when I searched Dizguise.com and this great Ghostbuster get up, complete with inflatable  ghost busting gear!  (They have it in adult sizes if you're feeling a little nostalgic yourself.)
He's not quite 8 years old and wears a size 8 pant but since we like to put our layers for warmth UNDER their costumes, I ordered the 10-12 size and it IS big but once he layers up for the IL weather at the end of October it should be just about right!  As you can see from this photo, he is THRILLED with his costume!


 My littlest man chose a much more predictable costume.  However, I wasn't sure if they would have the last series of Power Range (Samari, in case you aren't privy to the world of hig quality acting that IS Power Rangers) and I knew my little critic would KNOW if his costume didn't look just like the one his beloved, Jaden wears!  Thankfully they not only had the perfect Samari Power Ranger costume, they have the deluxe style...with muscles.  
I am such a sucker for seeing my lil men all muscly! I mean, if you can't go all out for Halloween, what's the point!  And the final touch that put my 3 year old, over the moon happy...an authentic looking Samari Power Ranger sword! (Sword is sold separately from the costume).
Bryan is a pretty solidly built 3 year old so I bought him a size up and while there is some extra length and some extra room for a layer or two underneath, it's not super big on him. The only problem we had with the costume...he had a total meltdown when I made him take it off so he wouldn't trash it before Halloween!!!!  He is totally in love and can NOT wait for Halloween so he can wear it again!

My Jack Sparrow is All Set for Halloween

The warm weather as just barely arrived but one of my three boys is already set for Halloween.  For some reason my boys are notorious for selecting what they will be for Halloween super early, and actually sticking to that choice.  So each year I begin searching for the best costume deals early and honestly, I always end up at the same place no matter what character they chose.


This year Timmy decided he wanted to look at the pirate Halloween costumes. 
I asked if he wanted to be Captain hook or Jack Sparrow but he wasn't sure.  He wanted to SEE his options.  So we headed to the       boys costumes at Costume Supercenter and searched for 'pirate.'  I have to say it would have been hard for me to pick between the great choices, but Timmy instantly decided on the Captain Jack Sparrow Deluxe Child Costume.
As always our order arrive super quick and all the pieces that were supposed to be included were.  This is a big one for me because the photos often show extra accesories that you can also purchase, but if you read the description it will tell you just what you actually get.  As I always do, I ordered a size up from what we buy in clothes because Halloween is usually very chilly here and I don't see the fun in having a costume if you're going to cover it up with a coat.  So I buy big and then we pile on the layers UNDER the costume.  So it was a little big (don't tell Timmy I shared but I tucked the pants into the waist band of his undies to be able to get some photos).
We're still undecided if he wants to do  the full eye make to finish off the look come Halloween or not.  But I love the look even with out the makeup.

What do you think, is he a totally cute Captain Jack or what?



Disclosure: I was provided with this complimentary costume for review purposes.  However, I have truly purchased from them for the last several years and have always been very pleased with their service.  All feedback is my own honest, personal opinions.
