As I child I always steered clear of those plastic costumes from the store, and as an adult I still think the point is, How Creative Can You Be?

For the record, my girls were a Warrior Fairy (i.e., dress up stuff in an interesting combination, plus a jeweled toy dagger from the costume shop) and a Tiger (I did purchase ears, a tail, and orange makeup for that one).
