    Whether you’re looking for teen girl Halloween costumes or toddler girl costumes, shops on Etsy have cute and creative ideas for every age. Here are some girl costume ideas to get you started:


    • Princess costume: A tried-and-true favorite that will never get old, princess costumes featuring sparkly rhinestones and flouncy tulle skirts always will be a top pick.
    • Superhero costume: An easy and versatile choice—superhero costumes can be done with a few simple accessories, so you can blow your budget on Halloween candy or party supplies instead. Get a custom superhero cape embellished with her name or monogram so she can be her own hero.
    • Mermaid costume: Showcasing shiny fabric, tutu tails, and iridescent fish scales, a mermaid costume is a classic costume for girls.
    • Sushi-roll costume: One of the best picks for a girl’s toddler costume, sushi-roll costumes are delightfully adorable, whether its a onesie with a printed graphic or white clothing worn with a “raw fish” pillow strapped to their back.
    • Mushroom costume: Round red hats adorned with white polka-dots make an easy mushroom costume that’s just as comfy as it is cute. Draw a dusting of freckles on her cheeks to match her spotted hat.
    • Rainbow costume: A rainbow costume will instantly brighten everyone's day, regardless of the weather outside.
    • Ice cream sundae costume: She’ll be the sweetest one in the room with an ice cream costume complete with a confetti-adorned tutu to mimic sprinkles and a crocheted maraschino cherry hat to top it off.
    • Flower costume: Take inspiration from nature and dress your little one in a flower costume showcasing a bonnet adorned with petals.
    • Dragon costume: Brimming with fantasy style, a dragon costume featuring a long spiky tail and colorful wings is the peak of imagination.
    • Profession costumes: If your little one blazes her own trail, land on an astronaut costume, a ready-for-action firefighter costume complete with classic red suspenders, or a safari guide costume outfitted with binoculars and a sun hat.

    When searching for your girl's Halloween costume, consider the weather, sizing, and how the materials look and feel. If you take those tidbits into account, your child will no doubt be comfortable and happy.

    • Weather: Before landing on a costume idea, think about the weather. If you live in a climate that experiences cooler temperatures, a girl’s Halloween costume with a roomy fit allows for warm clothing underneath. Alternatively, if it’s a costume party in the heat of summer, opt for something lightweight and flowy that provides cool breathability.
    • Sizing: Most sellers on Etsy have a size guide to follow so you can measure your child and purchase a girl’s costume accordingly. If she is between sizes, choose the bigger one. Getting it taken in is much easier than letting it out.
    • Material: If your little one is texture-aversive or deals with sensory issues from certain materials, consider getting a costume made from softer fabrics such as cotton, felt, or faux fur. If you live in a cool climate, get a thicker material to keep her toasty while she trick and treats.
