DIY Costuming: 8 Last Minute Lingerie Halloween ideas

What Katie Did

It?s a common scenario each October: Halloween is suddenly around the corner and you?re looking forward to partaking in some spirited festivities. However you haven?t given much thought to what costume you?ll be wearing and time is running out! Sound familiar?

You can always scavenge the local Halloween shops for an overpriced, sexed up costume that you?ll only wear once, or you can resort to fishing out last year?s ensemble & hope that no one will remember it. But wouldn?t you rather whip up something easy & unique? Sometimes the most economical solution is lying in your wardrobe right now just begging to be discovered.

A little imagination & a bit of creativity is all you need to create your own do-it-yourself Halloween costume when timing is tight. Since many of you are lingerie addicts such as myself, I imagine you have a plethora of unmentionables just begging to see the light of day. And while incorporating lingerie into a costume sounds risqu? or salacious, there are many ways to tone down the sex appeal so the focus is on your originality rather then the intimate apparel.

Below are a few ideas that may help inspire you to look beyond the conventional costumes of the past. Dig out your bras, undies, pajamas & slips and start getting creative!
