Adult Lava Girl Fancy Dress Costume

Product Information

This year the hubby and I have decidedto reuse Halloween costumes from years past since I was running out of time and we couldn’t decide on something for us to dress up as to match the kids costumes. 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.

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? 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. To make the “lava” really look like it was on fire, I also added a single string of gold sequin ribbon right down the middle. This one was a little harder to make work, especially on a 4 year old’s body, but she is more than happy so I am happy!This year we needed the costumes a full week before Halloween for a friend’s Halloween themed birthday party. And my son is insisting that he needs arm cuffsfor his costume, I told him I would try to make some before Halloween.

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. Between work, school, grandparents, and the birthday party we will have an entire week of Halloween fun!

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. 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. The shark boy seems to be very hard to do the fun and everything like I said I’m definitely not crafty! These costumes needed extra textures and 3D things coming off them, so I used my Halloween favsof felt, cardboard, hot glue and fabric glue! 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 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. Each project begins with a passion for true quality–embroidered patches, faux fur cut with care, and hand-selected fabrics that are as durable as they are comfortable. I had never even heard of Sharkboy and Lavagirl until a few months ago when they discovered the movie on Netflix and became instant fans. I made my husband a Thor costume a couple years ago (still one of my favorites ever) with the same techniques.
