Like the muumuu idea for comfort! This one isn't all that comfortable perhaps but is still one of the easiest and and most creative I ever seen. Wearing all dark brown, use two 2' by 4' foam core boards, paint them dark brown; letter them in silver like a Hershey's Bar "without nuts". (It's much cuter when worn by a couple, his with nuts, hers without!

You could go as a "quilting bee". Find yourself a cheap black dress or long t-shirt, wrap some yellow duct tape around it and make your antenna from a headband. easy costume and then you could carry a quilt with you.

My sister told me about a friend who went to work wearing a purple sweat suit with a tennis shoe placed sole to chest on the top. She was grape bubble gum stuck to the bottom of a shoe. Sounded funny and amazing.

Snow white? Play boy bunny? French fry? Gum ball machine? (in addition to a regular shirt on, top is see through garbage bag that holds many blown up small balloons, red straight skirt and red stuffed hat) Mr. Frankenstein's monster's wife? Herman Munster's wife? Marilyn Monroe? The old stand by - witch? Good luck!

How about dress like someone from a specific decade? With all the tie dyes and peace symbols everywhere it should be easy to come up with a hippie/60's outfit. Goodwill has long colorful dirndl type skirts, add a tie-dye shirt, affix a handmade headband with a peace symbol, which can be made out of brown constuction or colored paper, and wear a leather look alike necklace (can be construction paper, or a shoelace) affixed with a paper peace symbol. Best part you can wear your most comfortable sandals. Goodwill even sells very inexpensive children's straight hair wigs that fit most adults. Good luck and have fun!
