DH found a "samurai" costume. Just one thing: It's bright orange. When he stepped out of the dressing room to model it for me, I burst out laughing. When I could breathe again, I told him he looked like a pumpkin. He was not happy with me. I'm such a bad wife...
Speaking of "sexy" costumes, about 60% of the costumes for adult women were "sexy" something-or-other. Sexy vampire, sexy cat, sexy purple bunny, you get the idea. I even found a "Sexy Raggedy Ann" costume that was a midriff-baring blue top, a blue miniskirt with a little apron, a red yarn wig, and red-and-white striped stockings. That's just... wrong. |
I think I know which dress you're talking about. Was it one of those costumes in a bag? I bought one like that a few years ago and the vampire collar thing bugged me so I just dressed as the devil's bride. I made a black veil, wore with my sequined red devil ears, and made a bouquet out of fake red roses, a tiny pitchfork, and black veil material.
