We don't do store costumes, but we don't "make" them either! It's mostly buying a few pieces to create what we want and mixing it with items we already own to create a costume. We have a large tote of all our past "dress up" items and many times we will just mix and match.
For the last couple years we have done Trunk or Treat at our Church, so our costumes have matched our theme. Last year we were country/farmers so we wore flannel and overalls or denim and cowboy hats. We have done tropical/Island (my husband bought a shark onesie for that one), Star Wars (we created our own costumes and had fun making guns and a Storm Trooper helmet), Alice In Wonderland (that was one of my favorites. We made a toadstool seat that we still use when we need extra seating at our table).
We are not in agreement for this year. Either Alice in Wonderland again, or Jurassic Park.
