Holiday Gift Guide - T-Shirt from Costume Squad (US Only)

Personally, I think costumes are fun for any time of the year. Unfortunately, many people don't agree but we don't need to let the costume shops gather dust all year either.

Costume Squad is brought to us by the owners of Crazy Dog T-Shirts and while they do have a nice selection of Halloween Costumes, they also sell Funny T-Shirts!

I received the Gizzy is the Shizzy T-Shirt in size XL for this review. This isn't a baggy XL, it is stretchy and fits me comfortably but if you don't like close fitting clothes or are larger than XL this may be too small for you. The T-Shirts brand is Tultex and is made with a soft 100% cotton. The image is printed to look like it came straight from the 80's.

Come on... who didn't think Gizmo was the cutest thing ever back then? Who still thinks Gizzy is the Shizzy? I Do!

I washed the shirt in cold with the rest of my dark colored clothes and the image didn't fade or peel off in any way so I have no complaints about this T-Shirt!

{Halloween Birthday Bash} Voluptuous Vampire Costume Review

Please note: Links in this post lead to a very tasteful, yet not suitable for children adult shop.

Not too long ago, I received a Vampire Costume for a review on my After Hours blog. Once it came in the mail I was sad to find out that it didn't fit so when I saw the Voluptuous Vampire Costume under New Arrivals at Eden Fantasy's I couldn't resist trying it out! My package arrived quickly and discreetly as usual and I ran off to tear it open within minutes.

This voluptuous vampire is the queen of the night in her stretch lace and velvet top with frog lace up detail, matching stretch skirt with lace mermaid hem and mesh cape with high collar. Vampire fangs are included. You’ll have to keep an eye on her as she’ll "want to suck your blood"!

The costume fits me comfortably, though I did wish that the top was just a little bit longer as it tries to roll it self up due to the semi-stiff material and my "Mommy belly" which I still haven't lost. There is no breast support in this top, so don't expect anything impressive if you are hoping to wear this without a bra.

I love the skirt, but the material is thin and I don't think it would stand up to wear & tear beyond it's intended use - as an occasional costume. The cape is made out of a thin mesh and just covers the shoulders and upper back, as you can see in the photo.

The included vampire teeth...well lets just say the teeth are laughable. A single piece of plastic which you fold in half and bite down on. I had several of these when I was a kid, but doubt I will ever use them as an adult. I gave the teeth to my boys.

Overall I think this is a well made, comfortable costume. Definitely higher quality than a typical costume but I still think the price tag is fairly hefty for something that doesn't feel like it will stand up to more than occasional use. I realize most people buy costumes solely to use once a year, but I was hoping to wear this more often personally. The Voluptuous Vampire costume is made by Coquette, and is hand wash only.

If you would like to buy this costume or any of the other numerous adult products available from Eden Fantasy's you can use the code "FES" to get 15% everything in your cart! (Excludes sale items)

I also published this review with a little more detail on Eden Fantasy's, if you have an account and liked my review please rate it for me!

{Halloween Birthday Bash} Yandy.com

I have a confession to make - I love shopping for lingerie. Want to know what I love more than shopping for lingerie? Finding a piece that actually fits my body and leaves me feeling comfortable now that I have had four children. I suppose my husband is less picky than I am, he thinks I look great no matter what I'm wearing (or not). When I shop for new lingerie and look at the models in the photos I always have a hard time imagining what the item will look like on me.

My husbands absolute favorite gown for me to wear is several sizes too small, itches like crazy, and I down right hate it. He will swear up and down that I am only saying that because he likes it but you ladies might know what I mean. You know the mesh materials sometimes used in lingerie? Well, thats what it's made of, and it's horrible.

When I came across the Plus Size Stretch Lace Gown while looking around Yandy.com I had originally wanted to ask for the gown in black. You see, another thing that my husband and I disagree on when it comes to lingerie is color. I prefer black - he prefers white. I'm sure I'm not the only one to say that I feel more comfortable in black with it's slimming qualities! In the end, I decided that since this gown was so similar to the one that my husband likes so much that I would go with the white.

It arrived very quickly, and discreetly and as soon as I took it out of the package and felt the soft material I knew I was going to love it. As with any time I get new lingerie I ran off to the other room to try it on right away. Instead of squeezing into it and feeling the disappointment in the pit of my belly due to the gown not fitting I was overjoyed by the fact that it fit perfectly!

The shoulder straps are adjustable, so I was even able to tighten the bust to fit just right. The sheer ruffled trim seemed to help weigh the gown down and the included g-string fit comfortably as well. I could go on and on about how much I love this gown! I wish I could wear it all day, but since I can't I've got my eye on a few sexy dresses - among other things.

Yandy.com doesn't only sell lingerie, they've got you covered for Halloween too. I was amazed at the selection of plus size costumes, sexy halloween costumes, couples costumes, and even accessories like legwarmers, wigs, and wings!

CostumeChik giveaway from Today's Diva!

Since I wasn't able to review costumes for my boys, I am entering a couple of giveaways to try and win some. If you know of any other costume giveaways that are open to Canadians, please comment and let me know!

My 10 year old wants a Scream costume and seems to be sure of it. My 9 year old has changed his mind a few times - he originally wanted to be Chucky (Child's Play), then Jason, and after I showed him the above Zombie costume he said he wanted it. If I win this giveaway I can use it to buy both of these costumes and make their day!

Today's Diva is giving away a $75 Gift Card to CostumeChik!

Ends October 15th

{Halloween Birthday Bash} Pink Princess

Every little girl likes being a princess, so when I told my daughter that she was allowed to pick her favorite costume from Pink Princess that was exactly what she chose. She chose the Sleeping Beauty Costume to be exact, which is indeed a Pink Princess!

The costume is absolutely gorgeous and of high quality. The bodice is a soft crushed velvet with silver trim and rose accents on the iridescent collar. The silk skirt is equally gorgeous and is draped with iridescent hip drapes as well. I have never seen such quality in a children's' costume before! My daughter loves her princess costume!

I chose size large for my daughter, and it fits her perfectly. It is labelled as age 5-7 and since my daughter is turning 6 I would say it is true to size. I was actually hoping it would have been a little too big, since it does get cold here on Halloween so she will have to wear a jacket over her dress while Trick or Treating but it will be perfect for her Birthday Party and indoor Halloween parties too. We never put our costumes away once Halloween is over either, my daughter loves playing dress up all year long!

I also had my eye on the Pettiskirts & Tutus that are available from Pink Princess, they have quite a few different designs and even leotards to match. Who doesn't love a little girl in a Tutu? Make sure to take a good look around and see what catches your eye, because I have a giveaway for you! (Don't forget to check out the flower girl accessories to find the perfect shoes, tiaras or jackets for your little Princess' wardrobe!) Have a little boy? Don't worry, there is something for them too!
