We’re in the midst of the great debate over here: what Halloween costumes for the girls to wear? T initially started off wanting to be something “scary”, but I think I’ve convinced her that school won’t allow it. Mostly, I’m just not ready for my 5-year-old girl to be moving on to the gory side of Halloween.
We’ve narrowed it down to two or three categories, and my personal favorite is superhero costumes. She’s been into Batman Batgirl since she was a little toddler, and already wore a store-bought Batgirl costume two years ago. But I’m itching to start crafting more often, and love some of the DIY superhero costumes for girls out there these days. Plus, how cute would two girls be as superheroes? (See what we ended up with here)

Unfortunately, I don’t sew. That’s a major limitation, but it’s not insurmountable. Here are some fantastic no-sew DIY Superhero costume tutorials that I found:
1 – Easiest No-Sew Chest Appliques
2 – No-Sew Felt Superhero Cape
3 – Superhero Cuffs from Paper Rolls
4 – DIY superhero cape from a T-Shirt
5 – No-Sew Shoe Wings
6 – DIY Superhero Boots
Then again, I still work full-time, and T can be a little picky. She loves to browse the costumes at the stores, and may just insist on buying something. That’s why I already found some adorable superhero costumes for girls that can be purchased.
1 – LaLa Loopsey Dyna Might Costume
2 – Satin Superhero Costume Set by SuperKids Capes (Etsy)
3 – Baby Dear Felt Superhero Costume Set (Etsy)
4 – Wonder Woman Tutu Dress (Amazon)
5 – Amazing Girl by Pottery Barn Kids
In reality, our budget is much tighter than many of the costumes above. And if I have the time, dressing our whole family in superhero costumes would be so much fun. These two families are certainly great for inspiration:
Which of the costumes above are your favorite?

I’d DIY if I could! Especially while the kids are young. They will get pickier with age 😉 Love all the options you’ve shown here!

Here in the UK we don’t do as much for halloween, just the odd party and going out trick or treating on the night. Kids tend to go for scary stuff too, we have a lot of witches come to the door demanding treats round our way!
We always did handmade but with a trip to the charity shop for basic top, trousers or dress and then lots of glue and safety pins for the rest, I think homemade is much more fun, the kids were always involved in the process and now my middle one is at Uni, where they have a ridiculous amount of fancy dress events, he is always down the Charity shop and then creating his own costumes.
