Traditionally, cute costumes were reserved for children. Of course, a baby in a teddy bear costume or a little girl in a mermaid costume is still and will always be adorable. The question is, how can you dress up for Halloween as a woman, look sexy, yet cute enough for the costume to be acceptable for a family party. You obviously don`t want to look like a tramp in front of your mother-in-law or at school in front of children, but you still want to look attractive and feel cute.
So, what does looking cute mean and feel like? Being cute is being pretty and attractive in an endearing way. Lovely, dreamy, a little shy yet charming and precious. Being cute is also being sexy but in a sweet and clever kind of way. How can you reflect this in a costume?
Here is a list of 10 cute Halloween costumes for women to get you started in thinking of and designing your cute, grown up costume that you will feel comfortable wearing to any event.

Raggedy Ann Doll (or any other doll)

Now that you have an idea what you want to be for Halloween, next comes the planning phase. How do you make it all come together into one cuddly and huggable costume? Think costume, accessories and makeup.
For the costume, it should be soft and fluffy or soft-looking. The makeup should also be light in color such as pastels. Think pinks, purples, mauves and whites. Your accessories should be sweet and fuzzy too. Think micro soft fleece, velvet and soft wool.
Your costume can be found in many locations. You can shop locally in costume shops, bargain stores or rent one in a party store. If you want a great selection of unique costumes no one else will have in town, shopping online may be your best bet.

The short definition of Steampunk is: Victorian science fiction.
A slightly longer definition is: what the world would have looked like if the technical revolution had arrived a little earlier.
We have steam-powered machines and robots, Victorian culture and adventurers and explorers, both male and female. Think "Wild, Wild West", think "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", think "Time Machine" and think Jules Verne.
There is a small but strong Steampunk culture growing in the Western world, and more and more are interested in it. After all, the Victorian times were interesting, that was when women were women and men were men, but this time you get all that but women are allowed to be independent and industrious and wear pants and you get all the comfort of modern technology, only with the Victorian era aesthetics.
If you would like to experiment with this subculture, you can start slow by dressing up as a Steampunk lady or gentleman this Halloween. If you like the experience, you can expand to Steampunk fairs and conventions, then start wearing Steampunk outfits at special events and weekends, and finally wear them every day. It really isn't too outlandish to wear Steampunk at work.
Some general points
What ever you choose to wear, remember that it must be in keeping with the Victorian era aesthetics. This is not a question of time travel, but about trying to create a believable illusion of what the world could have been during the late 19th century.
Don't wear clothes with a clear label, sign or brand.
It is a good idea to create a role. "The adventurer", "the inventor", "the explorer", "the aristocrat", "the engineer" and "the aviator" are all suitable roles for a Steampunk character. "Mad scientist" and "Villain" are also good choices.
Brown (think sepia) is a popular color, but the Victorians used all colors with pleasure. Mauveine, a synthetic dye based on aniline, was invented during the Victorian era and was very popular. In fact, the more sober and "natural" color scheme of plant dyes was considered boring and dull.
Cephalopods and arthropods are very Steampunkish motives, both as fabric print and decoration.
Goggles and a pocket watch are almost indispensable accessories for a Steampunk outfit. You can replace the lack of these by using cogwheels, gears and buckles to decorate your clothes.
All kinds of gadgets are appropriate, but they should be made to appear Victorian. It is not difficult to paint modern gadgets, so they look like wood or metal, and glue brass details on them, but if you lack the DIY skills, you can keep your gadgets in leather cases.
Brass instruments, like compasses, telescopes, binoculars and measuring instruments are also very suitable.
A revolver or pistol is a common Steampunk accessory, and you can transform any toy store gun into a Steampunk weapon with paint and brass details. Adding some wires and coils adds to the impression. It is not necessary though.
Whether you wear a gun or not, tool belts, holsters and other such things are very useful in helping to create the desired impression.
Wear a hat. The iconic Steampunk headgear is the top hat, usually adorned with the goggles, but an aviator's cap or helmet is also typical. You can also use a paperboy cap.
Other accessories, for both men and women, are gloves, scarves and shawls. Don't forget the handkerchief.
Spats are very Steampunkish, and you can even use leather gaiters or bracers with buckled straps.
Use several belts on top of each other.
Patterned and wildly colored socks are fine for both genders, but try to choose stripes, diamonds, checkers, or an ornamental pattern. Don't use socks with cartoon characters, cute bunnies or such.
Any military items, like military jackets and medals are very suitable, for both genders. I suppose the big metal buttons and passementerie (trimming made using cords and braids etc.) belong to this category.
Items that make you think of engineering are wonderful, like leather aprons and tool belts.
Don't forget the proper underwear. Girls and women should be wearing bloomers or pettipants and petticoats with their skirts and a sleeveless chemise, with or without buttons, and boys and men should wear a one-piece.
Men
Victorian men always wore pants, but for Steampunk a kilt is a nice choice. The Victorian trousers have high waist and rather narrow or straight legs. Jeans would be an acceptable choice, but choose a worn pair that does not have a special dye or cut. Moleskin pants are also good.
You can use any kind of shirt, as long as it has long sleeves and sober coloring. You can even use a long-sleeved t-shirt, then preferably with buttons. The collar should be round. You can use sleeve holders, bracers or roll the sleeves up, but don't use short sleeves.
It is appropriate to use a vest, but if you don't use one, you should have braces. You can make the vest of some luxurious fabric, like brocade or jacquard, and add a matching cravat. There are several ways to tie a cravat, and you can use a wide tie or a scarf in stead of a cravat, what ever fits your character.
A jacket is fine, but you can also use a military jacket, duster or trench coat. If you use a trench coat, choose a simple one with refined pattern or no pattern at all in the lining, or one with no lining. Western style trench coat or riding duster is good.
You can use most shoes with laces, but oxfords or boots (with or without laces) are best. Canvas shoes can be used, but not sneakers.
It is common to use hats when dressing up in Steampunk gear, and in addition to the aforementioned top hat and leather helmet, you can choose a bowler or a fedora. It is a good idea to decorate this hat with something, preferably made of brass, like a couple of gear wheels or a brooch, but this is not necessary.
In the Victorian times both genders used jewelry. Suitable items for men are the aforementioned pocket watch, signet rings, cravat pins and cuff links, if one wears a shirt with sleeves unrolled, and a cravat or tie. It is acceptable for men to wear one earring, but it would then be a metal ring, and not a jeweled stud. If you want to wear a wrist watch, choose a simple design and mechanical, analog watch, and wear it on a leather strap. Brooches, especially medals, are good. You can also wear a ribbon in a buttonhole, or a boutonnière.
You can express yourself quite freely with your hairstyle. Practically anything is possible, the usual short and neatly combed Victorian hair is fine, spiked hair is quite OK and if you like, have dreadlocks with added leather straps and tubing.
Women
To create the Victorian impression, women today can dress up much more freely than Victorian women could. Nevertheless, there is one piece of clothing that is a must for a Steampunk outfit for women, and that is the corset. You can get away with a tight vest, but a corset makes almost any outfit appear Steampunkish, because the main requirement is femininity, and there are few things as feminine as corsets. You can also use a wide belt or a waist cincher.
A bustle will also help to create the illusion of times past.
It is fine to use some men's clothing items, like military jacket or pants, but you need to "girl it up". Use a bustle with your trousers, or use bloomers as trousers. (For Steampunk the bloomers can be of any length.) Wear a hitched skirt over the pants.
You can wear an authentic Victorian dress, or a reproduction, but these are not very comfortable and practical. One of the concepts behind Steampunk is adventure, and Victorian women used to wear a little shorter and simpler skirt for these occasions.
For Steampunk the skirt can be as short as above the knee, just as long as it has volume in the form of ruffles, rouches, pleats, drapes, hitches and gatherings. You can also use lace, ribbons, tassels and fringes to add to the volume in the skirt and bustle.
Your blouses, vests, jackets and coats should be fitted.
Women's hats are a much more elaborate thing than men's hats. You could also use a fascinator, which is something between a hair accessory and a hat.
You can add a parasol to almost any outfit.
If you use a handbag, choose something dainty, soft and round, like reticules and pouch bags, or something elaborately beaded or embroidered. Tapestry purses and carpetbags are a good choice too.
As shoes most laced boots work fine, so does laced shoes and ordinary boots. Your shoes can be of any color, but be careful with the heel. You should have shoes with a heel, and the heel should be either tapered or Louis heel.
Women should be wearing dangling earrings, but not too long, nor too big. A woman can easily wear necklaces on long chains. Lockets and medallions are a popular choice. Victorian women used rings and bracelets, sometimes in excess. Brooches are good, and medals fit women as well. Usual motives were flowers and animals, but to enhance the Steampunk impression, choose a cephalopod or arthropod - octopuses and insects always work. You can also wear a ribbon in a buttonhole, and flowers; corsage, nosegay or posy, are very nice as accessories for women. If you want to wear a wrist watch, it should be analog and on leather strap, but a pocket watch, necklace watch or brooch watch would be better.
The hairstyle is quite free for women too, but it is appreciated, that you have a long hair, either braided, in corkscrew curls or an updo.
Boys
Whether you choose a classic sailor costume or pants with braces and a shirt, perhaps add a sweater or pullover, you have to remember two things. The pants' legs were short, just covering the knee, and boys too wore long socks.
I would put children in pantyhose, both boys and girls, but some boys find this too girly and thus uncomfortable, and they shouldn't be forced to wear tights. If this happens, you give the boy stockings and call those knee socks. It might help to persuade the child to wear such uncomfortable and inconvenient pieces of clothing if you tell him that this is the origin of Christmas stockings, and the higher the stocking, the more space there is for presents. (Then you have to, of course, keep your promise and fill the stockings (both of them) to the brim, otherwise you will be considered a liar and a cheater, and it serves you right.)
I would choose laced boots for boys, but make sure that the shoes have separate heel and that the sole is made of one material. It really isn't easy to find shoes for boys' Steampunk outfits. You can also take a pair of ordinary leather "party shoes" and give the kid spats to "disguise" the modern details, or use simple canvas shoes that are the same color as the boy's stockings. Don't use sneakers.
Girls
Girls are usually easier to persuade to wear unusual clothing than boys, but even here you need to consider the child's personality.
Even when it was unheard of that a Victorian girl would wear pants, it is quite acceptable for a Steampunk girl to do so.
A Victorian girl's dress is usually one-piece, and you can choose the early Victorian dress with fitted bodice and wide skirt that falls from the waist, or the late Victorian dress that is straight and has a belt on the hips. A simple straw boater or beret is suitable for both styles, but a big hat with decorations shouldn't be used but with the late Victorian or Edwardian dress.
Use either black, white, or striped stockings.
You can choose ballerinas, strap shoes, laced shoes or boots, laced or buttoned, but don't choose shoes with too thick sole. Also, stay away from metallic shoes and shoes with figures or glitter, or much decoration.
Now your whole family is dressed up for a Steampunk adventure. Have fun!

Ladies Medieval fancy dress outfits have become extremely popular in the last few years, thanks in part to a number of new television series shown on the BBC, including Robin Hood and the highly rated, Merlin. In particular, these shows have highlighted the different types of elegant Medieval woman fancy dress costumes of the period, as worn by the likes of Maid Marion, in Robin Hood, and Guinevere and Morgana, in Merlin.
Nowadays, there is quite a diverse range of Medieval woman fancy dress costumes available that you can choose from, if you have got a Medieval themed party to go to, or even for Halloween. So much so that there are actually specialist websites online, where you can find a selection of ladies Medieval outfits and discover a costume that is just right for you.
Below we take a look at three different types of Medieval woman fancy dress costumes, which you should definitely check out before deciding on a costume for the upcoming party.
What type of ladies Medieval fancy dress outfits are available?
1). Medieval Queen Costumes
An obvious choice for this genre is of course a Medieval Queen outfit, which is usually based around a grandiose long velvet like dress with netted sleeves. Sometimes the Medieval Queen costume will also include a long pointy hat with a veil, which was a popular type of head wear from the era. Another extra that Medieval Queen outfits will normally come with is a gold coloured crown headpiece, however, if it does not come included then this is an accessory that you should definitely purchase.
2). Maid Marion Costumes
The character of Maid Marion has been appearing a lot recently in the popular media; in the wonderful BBC series, Robin Hood, and now in the highly anticipated film, starring Russell Crowe. The Maid Marian costume is usually based around an elegant crushed velvet-effect dress with an attached sash. They will often include a coordinating headpiece, with an attached semi-sheer drape. Of course, the must have accessory to go with your Maid Marion outfit is a velvet choker.
3). Medieval Wench Costumes
In my opinion, I have saved the best to last with the wonderful Medieval wench outfit. These costumes, as worn by Gwen in Merlin, before she becomes Queen Guinevere, are usually based around a corset style dress, with lace tie ups, and attached white sleeves, as well as a long flowing skirt, with a white petticoat.

With many couples desiring to relive the golden ages by having ethnic and vintage weddings, there has been a revival by designers and wedding planners to reproduce ethnic dresses in the whole of Europe. In the UK, prominent wedding designers are now known to have a collection of antique wedding dresses and have come up with ideas on how to incorporate antique outfits with a traditional fairytale or a modern wedding arrangement in a presentable way.
UK Wedding Dress Styles
There are varieties of bridal designer collections with a UK touch. Wedding dresses from the 16th Century down to the early 20th century have been used in many weddings recently. In the 18th and 19th century weddings, brides wore many colors. It is not until the 20th century that traditional wedding gowns were embroidered in white color. A wedding gown would be passed down the family for generations and preserved for years. Many of these costume collections can be seen in British museum collections, still with their lace and satin in near perfect condition. The art of dress was at a highpoint in the British colonies during the Victorian and Edwardian era that, according to many, has never been equaled. The Victorian obsession with character, morality and grace was due to the ultimate display of the wedding dress. Their magnificence and elegance can be observed in the Cincinnati Art Museum and many websites that offer antique information on British history and traditions.
Corset Styles
In 18th Century English, a new design known as the corset was in use. The dress has an easy shape to wear and looks good on a modern woman due to its boning that releases the pressure off the diaphragm and the waist. The British style corset creates a cleavage that shows off a woman's bust and enhances the overall appearance by compression. The corsets give the illusion of a smaller waist. This is further enhanced by intense decoration of the front with a style plus the incorporation of a new silhouette.
Today, corsets can be cut from original patterns, with or without tabs. Alternatively, they can also be modified to reflect modern styles with waists cut a little lower and even done with elastic inserts for ease and comfort. The wearer has the right of emphasizing bone channels. Having suitable interlinings with adequate boning is the key in any corset design, otherwise the wedding gown will seem to buckle at the waist.
A properly cut English wedding corset has a smooth finish from the neckline all the way down to the base. They can be produced in a wide variety of fabrics and endless ways of decorating them exist. In addition, they come with a combination of sleeve shapes.
Other Contemporary Wedding gowns
Other gowns with medieval overtures are Evelyn and Estella. Evelyn has a laced arm gauntlet with a toning skirt and hanging sleeves, while the Estella has a modern slim fitting fishtail with the elegance and style of a Victorian evening dress. Most of these weddings have undergone minor modifications before their use in modern wedding ceremonies. In any case, their original English classic look is evident and clearly discernible to an observant eye.
