HomeFeaturesMoms › Halloween Insider: Custom Costumes from Etsy
 
 
 

Halloween costumes have evolved impressively throughout the last several decades. Many modern parents can still remember their two options as kids at Halloween time; a home-made costume or a traditional, store-bought option.

The internet has made it possible for kids and parents alike to have an endless, creative selection of costumes at Halloween-time and throughout the entire year. Online marketplace, Etsy is a leader in connecting people, both online and offline, to make, sell and buy unique goods, including one-of-a-kind custom costumes. The creative entrepreneurs who use Etsy to sell products often work with customers to create a fresh and perfect design. Although festive apparel is especially popular throughout the month of October, most Etsy sellers are available all-year-long.

Here are two of our favorite Etsy designers that can dress moms and tots in awe-inspiring designs any time of year. We especially love that both designers are also moms and wives whose fashionable designs help inspire creativity and form lasting memories for the entire family.


Ashlyn's Armoire was created by Kati Brauning to reflect the inspiration of her daughter, Ashlyn, and her love for dress up. Ashlyn's Armoire specializing in custom creations for girls, including extravagant princess apparel, unique tutu costumes, jeweled dresses and made-to-order items created just for you.

 All items at Ashlyn's Armoire are designed and handmade by Kati in her home studio. If you are looking for something in particular that you do not see in her shop, she loves the opportunity to design something new for you! Ashlyn’s Armoire is a favorite for special occasions, birthdays and holidays.
