If your child is a Hannah Montana fan, no doubt you've been asked for her costume for Halloween. It will be the most popular costume for young girls across the country and you'll want to buy early to get your child's first choice. Costume retailers are expecting to sell out of the most popular Hannah Montana costumes. This leads to the first of seven costume purchase tips:
Tip #1 - Buy As Soon As You Can
Just like the winter holiday season, buying early can mean the difference between getting your child her favorite costume, or coming away with a second or third choice and hearing about it from your bellyaching child for months.
Tip #2 - Shop Online
Avoid the lines and wasting valuable time not finding what you want at the store. More than likely, prices will be lower on the web than from a store even with shipping costs. Shop with confidence when you find at least one security banner on the retailer's website such as the BBB Online Reliability Program, VeriSign Secured, McAfee Secure, or the BizRate.com Customer Certified banner. (These are usually found at the bottom of the retailer's webpage.) Then, in the comfort of your PJs, sit down with your child and surf the web to find which costume she wants the most. Click and buy.
Tip #3 - Make Sure to Purchase a Wig
A Hannah Montana wig is the key accessory to create the full transformation of your child into her secret rockstar identity. On the show, Miley Cyrus wears one to become Hannah. So, your daughter is going to want a wig too. Keep in mind, it has to be the RIGHT one. The official wig has blonde hair and straight bangs in the front. If there are no bangs or it's not a blonde wig, don't buy it. Your child will not wear it.
Tip #4 - Choose a Costume with Some Glitter
Most of Hannah Montana clothes are studded with sequins or some type of glitter. For the same reason as getting the right wig, purchase a costume with some glitter and glam.
Tip #5 - Buy or Make a Microphone
Find a faux microphone to complete the rock star look and make it obvious who your child is pretending to be. Order it at the same time as the costume. Or, to save some money, just make one yourself. You can use regular household items like a tennis ball for the top of the microphone and a toilet paper tube for the handle. Be creative, make it fun and craft it together with your child.
Tip #6 - Choose a Costume That Can be Worn with Jeans
It can get chilly on Halloween night. So, buy a Halloween costume that goes equally well with jeans. Miley Cyrus often wears jeans on-stage for her rock star concerts anyway. Fashion and function go hand-in-hand.
Tip #7 - Have Matching Boots or Shoes
In general, most costumes do not come with footware. So, you'll have to decide from your closet what shoes or boots your child will wear with her Halloween outfit. For the closest match to the show, boots would be preferable over shoes. But, at the end of the day, your child will still get many "Oh, How Cute!" comments throughout Halloween regardless of the footware.
With these tips, you should be able to make the best Hannah Montana Halloween costume purchase for your child. Rock out the show and have a great Halloween!
