Girls Halloween CostumesFor girls halloween costumes to stand out they do not need to be expensive. It is often the most unique, but cheap halloween costume that gets the most attention. 
Easy Cape For ALL Occasions! Simply buy about 3 feet (1.5m) of a thin velvet in either black or dark purple (not the really expensive stuff). If you can't find that, just make sure it is a material that won't fray. 
Easy Bat WingsAgain like the cape, I made my daughter some bat wings, just using my common sense. (As you can see I am not huge on using patterns!) They're not quite as versatile as the cape, but still get more play time than many of the bought costumes that we have in our dress-ups chest. 
You'll need to buy some non fraying material and cut it to the shape of bat wings, roughly matching the length of your child's arms extended.Measure your child's wrist with elastic, and make an elastic bracelet which will fit loosely around their wrist as well as attaching to the end of the wings. Since making these, I have thought that if I ever made another set I would also sew around a neck tie so that the wings fit better across the shoulders.
