Let your fantasies come to life from head to toe with more than 550 costumes KIRKLAND, Wash., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- While ideas abound for crafting homemade Halloween costumes, special accessories from Costume Express can ensure your little goblin doesn't look like every other princess, cowboy and witch trotting door to door this Halloween. To view the Multimedia News Release, go to: http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/celebrateexpress/29071/ Costume Express makes it easy for busy parents to bring their costume concept to life from head to toe. Whether it's a homegrown character or a knock-off of your favorite celebrity, costumes take on a special flair with accessories carefully selected to complete a theme, notes Helene Pinkerton, merchandising director for Costume Express, the catalog and web merchant offering more than 550 costumes for children, teens and adults. "Dressing up is always fun for kids year-round, but the right accessory can be the ultimate finishing touch that makes a Halloween costume stand out in a crowd," Pinkerton says. "Our buyers constantly monitor the market for the best accessories to complete a theme. After all, who could imagine Harry Potter(TM) dressed without his Gryffindor(TM) tie and scarf, glasses, and light wand or without Hedwig(TM) the Owl following along?" Pinkerton notes creative costumes assembled from goodies in your own closet gain a special flair with accessories from Costume Express. Consider: -- Pirates - You'll cry "Aye, Aye Matey!" with special gusto when little pirates don pointed hats (trimmed in feathers for girls), glow swords, hooks, jewelry and an eye patch. -- Hoedown - Cowboys and cowgirls get a suede vest, armband and chaps plus those special extras: badge, spurs, bandana and bullet belt. -- Shining Star - Your little starlet will shine when her evening gown is accented with a metallic stole, gold sparkle shoes, glittery earrings, diva sunglasses and elbow-length gloves.
