Layah seems quite happy with the costume, and unlike last year’s costume, she’s asking to get to dress up in it frequently. Both of these fixes are totally workable, but I wanted to point them out just in case you are looking for something that doesn’t need any adjustments. We will also have to do a little safety pinning to help the Scooby Doo mask stay in the correct position. Layah will need to wear some sort of brown shirt underneath, but it’s a very hard color to match, so we’ll also be safety pinning her into the costume. I was a little disappointed to see that the entire back is open. The costume is not one I would expect to endure constant play for too many months, which I think you can expect based on the price. I’ve been down this road before, so I was really happy to see that her choice this year wouldn’t be nearly as expensive. I paid $50 for that costume, which she wore on Halloween night, but has NEVER worn since (despite the fact that my girls play dress up all the time).
Last year Layah wanted to be Jasmine, which was just as random. And yet, she was quite decided about her choice! So I found a Scooby Doo costume at Costume Super Center and I was really pleased to see the price point (currently $23.99 AND an additional 20% off with a coupon code!). There was a time when Layah was interested in Scooby Doo, but that was maybe a year ago, so this request really did seem random to me. I asked her again a week later and she promptly said, “Mom you already know! Scooby Doo!” She thought for 6 of those seconds and then yelled, “Scooby Doo!” and marched right up to her room without so much as another word on the subject. Layah’s brainstorming session, on the other hand, took 8 seconds.

Darah flipped through a costume catalog, cut out ideas, and created an entire vision board full of possibilities. Last month I sat my girls down and we had a brainstorming session on Halloween costumes.
As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Thanks to Costume SuperCenter for providing Layah’s Scooby Doo costume.
