Ugh, my kids Halloween costume

She picked it out today. Decided too many girls are going to be Anna and Elsa. She has both outfits but decided on being a pumpkin. I tried to convince her to be the cute fuzzy pumpkin, nope she picked the tarted up pumpkin mini dress with bustier. I am putting a black turtleneck under and orange leggings. I am still cringing. I should have put my foot down. Mom fail!

I think the black turtle neck is a good compromise! How old is she? I'm clutching my pearls that they even make the tarted up ones in kid size.

She is 6 but super skinny the costume is a size 4T. I tried it on her with a sweater and leggings, now it looks cute!

It's basically this costume but doesn't say cutie pie on it. Technically it's maybe not a bustier but all the costumes seem really grown up to me lol! I will post a pic tomorrow after the school parade, it looks way better with the leggings and sweater!

Honestly, I don't think that dress is any different than the princess and fairy costumes.

Awww, haha well, lesson learned 'eh? And it sounds super cute and not tart-like at all after your modifications.

Thank goodness my 8yr wants to be another bird this year so I could avoid costume shopping entirely (online shopping for wings and a feathered mask FTW!) because the tarted-up kid's costumes deserve at least an eye-roll and a swerve of my cart in the other direction. Yuck!

This may be the Duggar in me but I agree! Without the turtleneck and legging this shows way too much skin for a child. I would be uncomfortable dressing my daughter in that on its own. With the turtleneck and legging though I think you'll be alright!
