Halloween Costumes for Women Too Sexy?

I personally have nothing against sexy Halloween costumes but I can understand the point you are making.I would have thought that there would be a non sexy/revealing version of most costumes.Because not everyone wants to wear a revealing outfit and in some cases it isn't appropriate.For example a woman with strong religious values may not wish to wear revealing outfits and there are surely girls who are big for their age so need to wear women's sizes but too young for it to be appropriate to wear revealing outfits.I just think consumers should be given the choice and i'm sure it would still be profitable for the manufacturers.

I will have to say that your daughter is extremely perceptive. Of course, we always loved making our own costumes. It could be something as simple as leggings and a long purple or green T shirt, then safety pin matching balloons on it to be a bunch of grapes. What would your daughter like to see as a costume. She could be a doctor. . . just pick up a set of solid color scrubs at a thrift shop and a toy stethescope. Yes, women are much more than just their sexy parts.

I totally welfare. However, there is some merit to making your own, and that's the fact that if enough people do it, they can put the designers out of business, and the message will be received.

yep, that is true, I judged a halloween costume contest once, and the winner was a little girl dressed up as a tablecloth with plates and cups and fruit sewn onto the sheet her mother used. I though it was so original.

There is a lot that I could say about the sexualization of girls within this society. However, I have had a long day, and I'm not quite up to going into all of that tonight. On the issue of Halloween costumes, there are some more modest pre-packaged women's costumes out there. A quick look at Amazon reveals options such as Snow White, Roman empress, Venetian statue, Wicked Queen, Red Queen and quite a few others. I'm a bit baffled by your comments about witches and nuns, though. Are there really non-sexy witch and nun costumes for women? The ones I've seen tend to run in the same direction as the Little Red Riding Hood and Alice in Wonderland costumes--short, tight, low-cut and typically paired with thigh highs.

Interesting.. I wonder who invented the female costumes or came up with the idea they have to be that sexy? BTW witches can be sexy too, they are surely not always looking ugly and old. Perhaps it's "normal" by now female always have to look that sexy? Anyway if it comes to that I would make my own costume. Something original anyway.
