As Halloween approaches, the excitement of dressing up often comes with the challenge of finding the perfect costume. But what if you could create a unique look using pieces you already love from FORM + CONTENT? Pieces that you could wear everyday, all year long? Here are some creative ideas for costumes that are both fun and easy to put together, all while supporting a local small business!

 

1. Leopard is SO IN!! 🐆

Transform into a fierce leopard using animal print clothing. We have so many leopard print options here at FORM +  CONTENT. Don’t forget to paint your nose and whiskers!

 

2. Sweet Nostalgic Bambi 🦌

For a charming Bambi costume, wear a brown dress and add antlers. Use makeup to create a cute deer face, complete with white spots. This costume is not only adorable but eco-friendly if you use items you can wear all your round.


3. The CLASSIC Witch 🔮

A classic choice! Choose this fun black dress paired with tall black boots for an easy witch ensemble. Grab a pointy hat—if you don’t have one, you can easily make one from black paper. Add some fun accessories from your local women-owned boutique to elevate your look.


4. A Bridgerton Lady And Her Date

Channel your inner Bridgerton with this beautiful dress featuring an elegant bow in the back. This Costume is even better in a group or with your partner. Look for unique handmade jewelry from local artisans to complete your regal appearance.

 

Support Your Local Community

While you’re creating these costumes, consider shopping for any necessary items at your local women-owned boutique or family-owned shop. These small town boutiques often feature unique handmade items, such as handcrafted goods and locally made products, that are perfect for adding that special touch to your costume. Look for eco-friendly boutiques that offer sustainable fashion options, ensuring that your Halloween spirit is both stylish and conscious.

When you support a mother-daughter team shop or an independent female-owned store, you contribute to the community’s growth and creativity. Plus, you might find unique gifts for her, artisanal home decor, or even some eco-friendly handmade candles!

This Halloween, unleash your creativity and make a statement with a costume that reflects your personality and your commitment to supporting local craftsmanship. Enjoy a boutique shopping experience that embraces size diversity fashion, ensuring everyone can participate in the fun!
