    Learn More About Women's Costumes

    The wonderful shops on Etsy offer a vast selection of women's costumes and accessories to help transform a regular old outfit into a quick and easy last-minute costume. Whether you enjoy cosplay for conventions or you have a costume party to attend on Halloween, taking on a different persona for a short time is a terrific way to express yourself. Here are some popular types of women's costumes to help get you started:


    • Funny women's costume: When you want to get a laugh, a clown costume or posing as a character from your favorite funny movie is sure to get a smile and a chuckle from other costume partygoers.
    • Women's period costumes: Whether you're going for authenticity or dramatic flair, there's no limit to the number of historical figures you could become. From a medieval women’s costume of a queen adorned in royal garb to a swashbuckling pirate of the seven seas, sellers on Etsy have your costume needs covered.
    • Scary women's costume: Halloween inspires spooky costume ideas. Combine costume makeup with your outfit to become a zombie bride, or go with the classic vampire or wicked witch ensemble.

    Pulling together a last-minute costume is easy when you scout your closet for a few simple accessories. Better yet, choose a few you love from the small shops on Etsy and keep them on-hand for easy costumes year after year.


    If your getup reflects a certain profession, adding an easy-to-carry tool of the trade can really boost your look. A hand-held sign reading "stop" or "slow" is just the right touch to a construction-worker look, while a utility belt adds a dose of authenticity to a police officer costume.


    Horror and fantasy characters can also be helped by little additions to give them a boost of authenticity. A witch's outfit might benefit by carrying a broomstick. A mystical magic wand adds a dash of extra flair if you're dressed as a fairy princess or powerful sorceress. Carry a microphone with you as you show off your pop star outfit, or rock out with an electric guitar as a heavy metal singer.
