Funna Halloween Costumes for Women

The October shelf: nine Funna costumes for women, from a plain black witch dress to a five-piece pirate set, a renaissance corset dress with bell sleeves, a tea-party hatter and a polka-dot shepherd. These are the styles that come out of the box once a year, and a few of them are good enough to come out more often than that.

The ones that keep earning their space are the plain ones. A long black dress with a pointed hat is a costume on the thirty-first and a dress on the first of November. A heavily patterned outfit is only ever one thing. That is the trade I would weigh before buying, especially at the upper end of the price range here.

Practical notes that apply to the whole shelf: floor-length hems and stairs are a known problem, pale fabrics and wet ground are a worse one, and any costume with a hat should be tried on before the night itself. Sizes run Small to XX-Large depending on the listing, and the laced renaissance dress is the most forgiving of the lot.

9 on this shelf, $25.90 to $48.70

Cheapest first. Sizes under each name are the ones the listing still carries.

Where this sits among the Funna princess dress costumes

I collected these cards one listing at a time, because the sizing on a princess dress for girls is never the everyday sizing a parent expects. Each entry is designed to answer the two questions that actually get asked before a birthday: will the costume fit, and what is in the box. How beautiful the photograph looks, and how the skirt feels when it runs across a floor, come second.

What a gown is really for is the pretend hour. The kingdom gets built on the stairs, the queen gives orders to the cat, and a personality nobody has met before explores the hallway. Dress-up play of that sort feeds imagination better than most toys, and it does not stop at Halloween — birthday parties and ordinary enchanted afternoons take the magical part just as seriously.

There are no ads here and I run the pages myself, so if you cannot find one of the styles you expected, the listing went quiet — nobody paid for the slot. Have fun with it; imagination does the rest.
