It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a dinosaur?
Halloween is just around the corner and the overpriced costume catalogs are rolling in. As I do not own a sewing machine, I of course will be buying. Personally I am hoping to acquire something affordable, easy to get on and off, reusable and without any pink or glitter. Easier said than done right? Or is it?  You know, I never even considered a cape costume until I saw this clever little creation by Pip and Bean. Their Etsy shop sports capes of various concepts, but the coolest by far is this adorable dinosaur cape. This inspired little creation even has "3D" spikes that actually stick up down the back- fun! And don't worry mama, they are made of felt, so no one's getting hurt.

Boy and girl friendly and color customizable, it's a great no-fuss Halloween costume for those looking to keep it light, simple and under $50. 

I can certainly see us getting lots of mileage out of this one far beyond October 31; a sign of any great costume. - Stephanie M
