Last year I was Elphaba! Did quite a bit of research for the make up and found a costume on Facebook Marketplace. Add a hat from eBay and a wig from my sister's failed costume from the year before, and then the shoes! Bought the shoes years ago as a prop but the 100 year old boots actually fit (comfort is another matter. They are not that comfortable at all. We have learned a lot about shoe construction since these were made) so I added striped tights and green and black crinoline...then, TA-DA! Almost every child took a step back when I opened the door! Love it!

Great job on the clothing & your makeup!
 
2019 was my biggest costume year so far. I did various costumes for different nights, and (sadly?) didn't dress up for Halloween night, instead just wearing a black jacket and Halloween scarf and sat in my yard for hours, handing out candy and then just basking in the night!
I did a season 3 Eleven for an adults party, Khaleesi for a kids party (my son was -- a dragon), a tennis friend and I dressed as our coach :ROFLMAO:, and we threw in a different tennis lesson as the Shining twins. But my favorite was the Predator costume I did for my husband. It was a big hit! Almost everything was a Goodwill find!
