ADULT and BABY
|
However, if you are a parent who plans ahead or thinks the best costumes are of the cheap, homemade variety then there may be a way around buying an expensive baby costume that will at the worst, never be worn again or at the best resold at online auction for a fraction of the original price.
BANANA COSTUME IDEAS
Even the most expensive, designer banana costume is not going to break the bank. If you must go the store bought route, it’s best to buy quality. A cheap baby banana Halloween costume that is ready made may be made of polyester that doesn’t breathe and may be so uncomfortable that your infant wants out of it before the fun begins. Tom Arma costumes are the gold standard in baby Halloween outfits, but they can be pricey unless you are lucky enough to find a clearance sale or pick up a used one. However, you should factor in the chance that you may have more babies that can get some wear out of the costume and that Tom Arma Halloween costumes have excellent resale value when making your decision.
INEXPENSIVE, BABY BANANA COSTUME IDEAS
Cute infant banana Halloween costumes that come in one piece with an opening for their sweet faces are precious. But there are ways to come up with a Chiquita banana costume with clothing that you probably have on hand. Depending on the weather, you can pull out a pair of yellow footed pajamas, a onesie or a fleece baby bunting if the weather is cold and pair them with a yellow infant hat (the kind with a knot tied in the crown) and put a Chiquita banana sticker on the front of the outfit or the cap to send a clear message.
If baby is wearing a bright yellow onesie as part of a baby banana costume, a pair of black tights and shoes might be cute.
Another idea is to take the knotted cap and dip just the tip that sticks up from the knot in some black dye to make a stem.
