Costume Review from CostumeDiscounters.com

I was so excited to recently receive the opportunity to review a costume from CostumeDiscounters.com. Maybe chock it up to my childhood as an assistant clown to my mom (who was a professional clown) at parties, but I love costumes. I am always looking for great costume ideas for Halloween or the occasional impromptu costume party.

Since it is too soon to be thinking about Halloween for next year yet, I decided I would stick with the season and I chose to review this sassy Sexy Santas Little Helper Costume.

First off, I was very impressed by the selection of womens costumes that were available. Costume Discounters carry such a large variety, even within each type. For example, there were lots of different lady Santa costumes available ranging from the traditional Mrs. Clause to the younger, hipper Santa's helper costume that I chose. They have lots of fun, creative, and sexy costumes.

Ok now onto the costume! It was super cute. The costume consisted of a one piece red velvet-like halter dress and the striped stockings in the picture above. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the costume. Usually when I think about costumes I have nightmares about the poor quality costumes you find strewn about the temporary Halloween store, but this was so much better. The costume was well made and had a sturdy zipper closure on the back. The fabric also had a lot of stretch and give making it very comfortable. My only complaint about the dress what that it was on the short side -- I will definitely have to wear something under it when I wear it. I also LOVED the stockings...so much so that I wore them ALL day today (they looked like socks under my jeans) and got lots of comments on how festive they were. The costume also arrived quickly and in sturdy packing. It came in one of those heavyweight plastic hanging bags, which will make storing it easy as well.

Overall, I think this costume was great and a wonderful representation of the products and service that Costume Discounters provide. What's also great is their prices! They have costumes that are affordable on any budget. I strongly recommend that you check them out next time you are need of a great costume!

CostumeSquad.com = Your Source for Awesome T-shirts

My husband loves t-shirts, he basically lives in them. So when I was given the opportunity to write a review for Costume Squad I jumped at the chance! I was sent this awesome iconic Jaws t-shirt to review.


First, a little about this particular shirt. It is incredibly soft! Thick, rough t-shirts are the worst, but this is definitely not one of them. The fabric was incredibly comfortable and it breathed well. (I stole the shirt from my husband and wore it for a day). The quality was also impressive. The stitching on the shirt was solid, save for one small long thread end we simply trimmed off. If you wear a lot of t-shirts you know how important the stitching can be - it make all the difference in whether the bottom or the sleeve ends hems become undone. Beyond that the quality of the printing on the shirt was also great. The white was very white against the green. I know that sounds kind of silly, but many times the color of the screen print becomes tinted and looks faded or dingy -- that was definitely not the case with this shirt.

My husband is a hard-core Jaws fan -- it is his favorite movie. He was so excited about this shirt because we have never seen anything like it. Not only did we find this shirt at Costume Squad, but they have tons of other movie t-shirts as well! They are by far going to be one of our go to sources for funny t-shirts from here on out. 

In addition to their seemingly endless selection of t-shirts, as their name suggests they also carry TONS of funny and hard to find costumes! I especially love that they have movie costumes. Although Halloween just passed, it's never too early to start thinking about next year or just throwing a costume party just to show off the great costume you find at Costume Squad (I would anyway, but that's just me).

Be sure to head on over and check it all out at Costume Squad -- it's totally worth your time and won't break the bank. You'll get some great laughs from their selection and be sure to check to check them out on Facebook and sign up for their email alerts to score discounts and maybe even free stuff (links to do this are located at the bottom of their page).

AND just in case you find one their t-shirts somewhere else for less, they offer a 100% price match guarantee. Awesome.
