All October posts are part of the Countdown to Halloween!

With just 20 days left until Halloween, the clock is ticking! Have you decided on a costume yet?


I'm a big fan of creating your own costumes, esp. out of your own closet, but sometimes you need to be able to grab something quickly for a last-minute party, celebration, or idea.

Don't sleep on HalloweenCostumes.com! Over the last few years, they've become one of my favorite spots to browse for costumes. I love that they have something for everyone (adults, kids, couples, groups), they are size-inclusive (all the way up to 8X!), and they have a ton of costume designs that are exclusive to their site.

Oh, and if you're looking for Halloween decor...yup, they've got that too! Check out my picks from earlier this season.

Today I'm diving into their "Made By Us" section to pick out 10 perfect last-minute costumes for everyone. 


10 Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas

One thing that is great about HalloweenCostumes.com? They can ship items as fast as one day! There are, of course, tiers to their shipping options and pricing, so be sure to keep that in mind.

Women's Costume Pick: Flapper

You cannot go wrong at any point in our current decade with a costume that calls back to the 1920s. If I had been able to host a party last year, it absolutely would have been a haunted Roaring 20s theme. GET IT HERE

Plus Size Women's Costume Pick: A League of Their Own

Every time I pop onto HalloweenCostumes.com, this one catches my eye. I LOVED this movie as a kid and love the skirt on this uniform. Plus the only thing you need to add, as pictured here, are the shoes and bat! Everything else comes with the costume. GET IT HERE

Men's Costume Pick: Ghostbusters

I think at SOME point, we've all dreamed of dressing up as one of the guys from "Ghostbusters". I love that this version includes the jumpsuit, proton pack, and all four name badges so you pick which character you want to be every time you wear it. GET IT HERE

Plus Size Men's Costume Pick: Plague Doctor

Another one that is oh-so-appropriate for the current times, esp. with a built-in mask. Plus, it's creepy as hell! GET IT HERE

Baby Costume Pick: Candy Corn

I may not eat it, but I would enjoy the heck out of dressing a kiddo up as candy corn. And I think this is a great alternative to the classic pumpkin so many babies get dressed as at Halloween. GET IT HERE

Toddler Costume Pick: Beetlejuice

Perhaps this is why I don't have kids: because I would 100% dress them up as a character that isn't kid-friendly at all. But...how cute is a tiny Beetlejuice wandering the streets on Halloween night? I would absolutely summon this bio-exorcist! GET IT HERE

Girl's Costume Pick: Coraline

Need to run away to your Other Mother this Halloween? Just add jeans, and you've got the perfect Coraline costume for a kiddo. This look comes with the jacket, boot covers, AND blue wig! GET IT HERE

Boy's Costume Pick: Slappy from Goosebumps

Now that is one truly terrifying kid costume! Bring back one of your favorite childhood terrors with this look. GET IT HERE

Couple's Costume Pick: Captain Morgan and Coke

I love a good pun—or just plain funny—costume that will get chuckles all night, like this Captain Morgan and Coke combo. Captain Morgan is actually HalloweenCostumes.com's Captain Hook costume!

If you're looking for a couple's costume, this page makes it super easy to sort by a theme, then select a costume for each person. SHOP NOW

Group Costume Pick: DC Girls

Okay, I'll admit...I'm more of a Marvel girl myself after binging them all earlier this year, but there is something powerful about a team of female comic book heroes! Grab Batgirl, Wonder Woman, and Robin (similar) for a perfect girl group costume.

And, just like the couple's costume page, the group page has a sorting tool to make your shopping quick and easy. SHOP NOW
