One would associate the name Poison Ivy to the plant itself or one of the sexist villains from Batman. For those who fancy an elaborate and feminine outfit with a touch of mysteriousness, this character would be the perfect choice. Poison Ivy costumes are mainly dominated by the combination of bright red-coloured hair, ivy vine details
and different shades of green throughout the costume.

There are toned down versions of the costume specifically designed for younger children which are more appropriate for their age whereas sexier versions are available only for adults. Making the costume yourself gives you more creative freedom. Check out any thrift shops or craft shops and you will be surprised at how many items that can be used and included in the creation of the perfect Poison Ivy costume. Any fabric with an eye-catching leaf print is a good place to start. This is also more in keeping with the leotard leaf detail from the Batman film. You can use a green shimmery cape to pair up with a cat suit or tight body suit for effect.

If you prefer something more feminine, replace the body suit with a short body-hugging dress. A corset will accentuate your waist. Some people would wear a green leotard. A pair of long gloves and high-thigh boots are another suitable set of accessories to match the rest of the costume. Alternatively you can use a pair of short glovelets but coupled with a pair of wristbands. Poison Ivy is renowned for her explosive red hair with voluminous curls and hefty waves, you could either buy a ready-made red wig or dye one. If you are feeling adventurous, have fun styling your own hair with lots of gel and large-barrel curling iron or a strong hair dryer to blow dry your hair in curlers. Remember, the bigger the curls, the more dramatic you look!

Go wild with the makeup, but don't forget to wear a cherry or blood red lipstick, after all Ivy is famous for her deadly weapon - her kiss. There are so many Poison Ivy costumes that you can purchase from specialist costume shops although a lot of them are quite expensive and may not be exactly what you were looking for. Do shop around as you can always mix and match the accessories. It's always the details that make all the difference in a costume. Check out any florist or craft shops for artificial leaves that look real. You can then cut them out into individual leaves to be stitched on to the bodice, dress, neckline and other areas such as the thigh and leg areas. You can even wear some on your head.

If you are wearing fishnet hose or leggings, make sure they are green in colour and stitch these leaves on too running the entire length of the panty-hose, although do avoid the ankles and knees as they may make it hard for you to walk in them comfortably. Finally, Poison Ivy in the comic book wears tomato-red heels whereas in the movie she wears a pair of green tall boots, so it's up to you whichever fits better. The finishing touch - a glittery eye mask to add the mysterious factor to the whole ensemble!

Ever since its release in 1977, Star Wars has taken on epic proportions. The film empire grossed billions of dollars and created a loyal if not fanatical fan base. Fans are young and old, large and small. Whenever the original, its sequels or prequels re-opens, there are lines of fans waiting. Many are dressed as characters from the films. The more recognizable and popular are Darth Vader and Storm Trooper attire.

Fans choosing the Darth Vader costume are likely to be the most zealous due to the complicated nature of the outfit. It is a time consuming endeavor to duplicate the character.

The bulk of real Star Wars fans that don the costume go all out. They utilize high tech sound effect accessories, head masks, and light sabers. Indeed, they become Darth Vader who losses and then finds his path from the Jedi knights.

As we age, these flights of the imagination lessen, however, most Star Wars fans would still desire to dress up in a great Darth Vader costume. When can they fulfill this desire if they don't attend a Star Wars convention or movie re-release? Holloween is clearly the preeminent time.

Just before and during Holloween, high quality Darth Vader costumes become difficult to purchase and quickly sell out. If your dream is to become Darth Vader this October, you should begin looking in costume shops early.

You can search the Internet for a high quality costume. However, you should not wait to the last minute or the costume may no longer be available.

Reproducing the character with a high quality costume and full head mask provides the ability, if you desire, to be anonymous.

There are many superb movies containing Halloween costume ideas for women. Lara Croft Tomb Raider is one such movie. The Halloween costume would be enjoyed equally by people who like movies, video games or Angelina jolie. Quite a few features of this costume would not be easily seen at home. However, you could still make a costume that will be remain in people?s minds for years. This article would demonstrate the idea to design a wonderful Lara Croft Tomb Raider costume for the occasion of Halloween.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider Costume - Standard

The most important feature of a Lara Croft Tomb Raider costume is the tank top. Its color should be black and its size should be compatible. Such black tank tops are available at a discount store like Wal-Mart or retailers including Modell's. Ladies could locate an a tank top for $7 or less at certain discount stores.

You would require a set of black shorts in to make this Halloween costume idea a success. Be certain that the shorts are not very loose over your legs. The concept appear like a tough and sexy female fighter, not Kobe Bryant's teammate on the basketball court. The shorts for this Lara Croft Tomb Raider costume should actually be short and not like any Bermuda styled items or other related bottoms. Training shorts would perfectly suit this Halloween costume concept. Boy shorts for women are also great alternatives.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider Costume - Deluxe

Find a black belt with loops or holes in it. If you can not find it easily switch to another way and use a solid belt. But the belt that Angelina Jolie wore in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider had holes in it. Hence, it is an important component if you want to similar to the actual character. Stores selling gothic clothes might prove a great place for belts that would suit your Lara Croft Tomb Raider costume perfectly.

A black gun holster will help you pull of the Lara Croft Tomb Raider costume with ease. These are available in lots of varieties and can be found at hunting stores and also online. To create this Halloween costume concept, buy a Leg holster in black for both the left and right leg. Leg holsters are sold by many companies at various prices. Try buying the cheaper ones for $8 or less and also make sure that the tactical leg holster that you use attaches to your belt and leg.

Lara Croft Costume Wig

During your shopping for a black belt, be certain to buy a pair of black color boots with an overall rough look. A gothic clothing store would be the ideal place to find both items. However, the shoes sold at these places are mostly expensive. I noticed some black shoes at Hot Topic for $100.It can also be found online for $50 or less. Be sure that they have at least a single strap.

You could wear a black watch like the one that Angelina Jolie wore in the Lara Croft Tomb Raider. There is a wide range of sports and men's watches that would suit this Halloween costume concept. Anyways, these could be around $30 or more. If you don?t require a watch for regular use, black wristbands could serve as an alternative Halloween costume accessory. These things are mostly made of cotton and could be located at stores selling sports related goods.

You would require weapons in order to give a complete look to the Lara Croft Tomb Raider costume. These weapons need not be real. Actually it is wise to use toy guns and knives for this Halloween costume concept. Select two Airsoft pistols and one knife. Guns could be substituted for similar looking items in case there is a difficulty in getting these pistols. Put toy knife inside one of your black boots. The handle should be visible.

Correct hairstyle will add more charm to your Lara Croft Tomb Raider Costume. In case you do not have long hair, buy a dark color wig with straight hairs. Design your hair in a pony tail or long French braid. Protect the braid using a black hair band. This Halloween costume concept doesn?t need lots of makeup. A shade of lipstick to your lips would look great. Pink color lip gloss would also appear as a great alternative.
