. . . NO WAY — simply NO WAY my father was ever again going to fit in his old Navy uniform! The laughter around the house that year in the late 70s that my baby sister wore it as a halloween costume–and of course it fit perfectly –lasted for days!

When you don’t have a lot of money…

You make costumes with whatever you have. Flour-and-water papier mache handmade masks figure prominently in this. So do sheets and towels with holes cut in them. None of these are going to look elegant.

When I was a kid, old sheet “ghost” costumes were a favorite at my house, along with old-clothes “hobo” costumes touched up with Mom’s sewing skills.

I don’t recall ever buying a costume at a store.
