For those of you livin' life in New York City, I just heard about an exciting event...On Sunday, October 25th, we’re throwing a Low-Cost Costume Clothing Swap & Costume-Making Party from 3pm-7pm at Boxcar Lounge (168 Avenue B, between East 10th Street and East 11th Street). We’ll have local designers, fashion bloggers, and great crafters on-hand to help out. They’ll be there to help you make your creative dreams a Low-Cost Costume reality.
Just show up at Boxcar Lounge with a bag of freshly cleaned, lightly used clothes. If you can’t bring anything, we’ll request a $5 donation at the door. Everyone will be able to leave with a bag stuffed with whatever they need to make their own costume just in time for Halloween.

If you don't live in NYC, I still suggest a visit to your local Goodwill for costume shopping. Just think of the store as one giant fabric store, with racks and racks of single yards of fabric!!! Anything can be covered with a bit of Tulip dye, paint and embellishments!
This pic isn't of me (obviously!), but I did dress up as an Indian one year...my mom made my costume complete with hair accessories and mocassins...wonder if my dad can find the pic!
