Finding That Boo-tiful Costume

All right, it's time to make a decision. First, you should start by picking a '''theme'''. Weed out those that don't appeal to you. For instance, it's sad to say but some people just don't like dressing up as Darth Vader, so for them, we'd probably want to rule out ''Star Wars'' costumes in general. Once you have your concept, you can pick out something that will suit you. I'll list some '''major themes''', a few '''popular choices''', and any links to specific guides we have which can give you a much larger selection. Think of all the different characters you like and work from there. Remember to have fun in the process!
