Can anyone recommend a website to get high quality replica costumes? I usually go as Freddy Kruger, however I was thinking of changing it up. Maybe Indiana Jones. I found one site that has legit stuff. Magnoli Clothiers. Expensive though. I may still get the outfit from here unless someone replies with a different recommendation.
 
Sorry, just seeing your post now! Thank you SO MUCH!!
I started sewing three years ago and exactly for your reason, either I couldn’t find a costume the way I liked it or they were too expensive. So, I started teaching myself everything - and still learning a lot - and in the meantime I found out that I love making costumes. It requires some patience, but if I can do it, you can do it too!
Good luck with your mummy bodysuit!!


These are amazing! I wish I was able to make costumes like these! Youre such a nice friend :) Ive been having trouble finding a local seamstress to make a mummy bodysuit for me this year :(
 
This is my stalkaround costume for Halloween 2018. It poured down rain the entire evening but we still had fun scaring neighborhood kids! He is 9ft 3in tall. From inside the costume I control his head and arm movements. His head moves up and down and side to side. Head is lit up by 3battery powered, remote controlled lights. He is also wired with pre-recorded voice tracks. The arm span really makes him huge when chasing those neighbor kids!?
 


My stalkaround costume for Halloween 2018. 9’3” tall with fully movable lighted paper mache pumpkin head. Costume is build from a large backpack which I wear, and lots of PVC pipe. The wardrobe and jewelry choices were courtesy of my wife! We really had fun scaring neighborhood trick or treaters! The costume is even more intimidating when the arms are stretched out full and I walk toward them! Tons of people wanted pictures with him! This was my first effort at building a stalkaround. We had a blast! Thanks for looking. I still don’t know what to name him.
