Adult Lava Girl Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

There’s just something about a homemade costume, something full of love, and a little frustration, that makes the holiday more fun. This year, against my recommendations and trying to nudge them in a different direction, my kids decided they really wanted Sharkboy and Lavagirl Halloween costumes. The outfit may not give your child any real lava superpowers, but it will certainly make her feel ready to face off against any bad guy who threatens the Planet of Drool. So I had her put on the sweatsuit and used my fabric marking pen to mark out the general design (referring to a picture on my phone frequently).

The costume comes with a bright pink jumpsuit that has plenty of details from the movie, like printed lava patterns on the chest and legs.

The top is a little tight to get on, I may have to add a zipper if she wants this to remain part of her dress-ups, so I choose to just use some fabric painton the pants (we need to have the stretch and movement in the pants). So when I couldn’t convince them to pick something else to be for Halloween (I even tried my darnedest to get my 4 year old daughter to be ANY princess), I decided to just go for it and make them the costumes they wanted. Just use a measuring tape to get an idea of how much you would need to wrap around their bodies with extra room to allow for movement.

This was a pretty decent costume, my daughter wore it 2 days in a row, by the end of the first day the back of it (where she sits down mostly so the backside) was a little worn like the material wasnt very strong or good quality, (knapping) only down part. I guess the kids could wear any of their dress-ups, but they might as well get to wear this year’s costume as many times as they can, right?

These costumes needed extra textures and 3D things coming off them, so I used my Halloween favsof felt, cardboard, hot glue and fabric glue!

And my son is insisting that he needs arm cuffsfor his costume, I told him I would try to make some before Halloween. This diverse selection of costumes and accessories are all artfully designed and expertly crafted by our talented team of artists, designers, and developers.

Even though I love sewing, I find sometimes it’s easier to skip the traditional sewing for any costume that is not real clothing. With this Lavagirl Girls Costume, your child will have step into the role of the fiery-tempered hero from the Miramax film, The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3D.The shark boy seems to be very hard to do the fun and everything like I said I’m definitely not crafty! Maybe I’m just tired of this project and ready to move on to the next one (does anyone else do that too? No matter how much time it takes, our goal has always remained the same–to create products that inspire your life's best moments–the big, the small, the funny, the spooky, and the sweet. I made my husband a Thor costume a couple years ago (still one of my favorites ever) with the same techniques.
