Halloween Costumes

What is everyone else doing for Halloween Costumes this year? 

My husband and I like this Dinky Dragon costume on onestepahead, but the largest size is 18mos to 2T.  The size chart says 22 lbs, 30-32 in.  And Aidan just had his 15 month appt, and he is 30 inches, 26 lbs with a baby/toddler gut.  Halloween is 2 months away, and I am just thinking it may not fit.  So I am trying to get some other ideas.

    last year I was really ambitious and made Hannah a pink dinosaur, and Gavin a Tom Arma elephant.  (I had never sewed anything more than an apron, so I was quite proud of myself!!)  This year, I think Gavin will wear the clown costume my mom made for me when I was his age.  Not sure what Hannah will be but I think I'd like to try and make it.  One day it's a skyscraper, another day it's Ariel (little mermaid).

    TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.

    Here's a similar dragin costume that comes in larger sizes:  https://www.chasing-fireflies.com/sea-dragon-costume/productinfo/35244/

    I just saw it in the catalog yesterday.  It looks really cute.

    As an FYI- I've found the one step ahead costumes to be HUGE compared to their weight charts.  I had a newborn one that I could LOSE my infant in and later got one on consignment (a 12-18 month size) that my DD wore until she was almost 3 as dress-up.  I know that its hard to know for sure, especially when shipping, but check the other reviews for their stuff- it might work perfectly!

    Thank you for the suggestions. 

    I have been looking around locally as well.  Kid's Club at University Village had a Jr. Knight costume.  The 2-3 size looked long for Aidan who is 30 inches.  The 18 month size looked more his size.

    The Carter's store in Tukwila had a dragon and tiger costume.  It goes up to a 24 month size.  I think these costumes are cute, but my husband did not like them.

    And I saw a baby girl at the store with this pumkin costume on, and it looked really cute.

    DS is going to be a Dragon. The photo is in IrishSapphire's post. I'm ordering it online from Carter's.

    I know that you tend to place a lot of emphasis on brand, so I don't know if Old Navy will be suitable, but they have this dragon one:

    My husband likes the Old Navy Dragon costume.  We still have two months, so I may just shop around for the next couple of weeks.   

    I just received an email from diapers.com that all costumes ship free.

    I had $30 of Gap Rewards, so I decided to get the Old Navy Dragon costume tonight.  I got the 12-24 month size--it is 29-33" and 22-30 lbs, and Aidan is 30 inches, 26 lbs.  Yeah, I can check this off the list now.  Thanks everyone for the suggestions.  It should be a fun Halloween this year!

    I always seem to do weird or off-beat costumes, so I don't think I'll be much help. E is going as Bob from What About Bob.
