Harry Potter Gryffindor TieIf you want to don a more “official” Harry Potter costume, then here’s how you do it. You need a white button-down shirt (your own).

Harry Potter Robe for AdultsNext, add a Hogwarts robe. Nothing pulls a Harry Potter costume together more than the Harry Potter robe — the most important part of the costume. This is not the place to skimp on a Harry Potter costume, because it’s the part everyone will notice. Instead, get yourself this officially licensed, authentic Hogwarts robe. This deluxe Gryffindor robe bears the Gryffindor seal and has lined sleeves, a lined hood, and a hidden wand pocket. This replica is just like the robe from the movies, making you a true Gryffindor.

Harry Potter ScarfTo complete the costume, add Harry Potter glasses and a wand.

Optionally, you can add a Harry Potter Gryffindor scarf, which might be a nice if you’re somewhere that’s chilly on Halloween night. Plus, you can get a lot of wear out of this scarf even when it’s NOT Halloween. Wear this officially licensed Gryffindor scarf all winter long.

 

Hermione Costume for Adults

Adult Hermione Costume for SaleAn adult Hermione costume is probably the most popular Harry Potter costume for grown-ups. Ladies love to dress up in a sexy Hogwarts costume, and there are several sexy Hogwarts outfits to choose from.

You’ll get lots of compliments in this sexy Hermione costume. It’s great for college Halloween parties and club parties. Older women get a kick out of it too.

This sexy Harry Potter costume is not for the timid. The flirty minidress has a deep V-neck definitely shows cleavage. It’s fitted at the bust, but loose where ladies need it to be — in problem areas like the tummy and hips. Made of a stretchy polyester, this Hermione sexy costume fits true to size. The short Velcro cape covers your arms and will help keep you warm on Halloween night. This “Wizarding Wanda” costume also includes a collar and necktie in Gryffindor colors, glasses and a wooden wand. This adult plus size Hermione costume comes in 1X/2X and 3X/4X.

Depending on how sexy you want to go (or how tall you are, or how much dancing you want to do), you might want to add some boy shorts, hot pants, tights (fishnet or otherwise) or leggings underneath for modesty.

For the shoes, add mary janes if you want the innocent “tease” effect, or add black leather boots or sexy heels if you want to go all out “vixen.”

Hermione Granger Costume for Adults

Sexy Hermione Costume

Here’s another Hermione sexy Halloween costume. If you’ve already worn Wizarding Wanda, then try this costume instead. For those who aren’t picky about it being an authentic costume, this is a sassy, fun option.

This adult Hermione costume looks like a two-piece, but it’s actually a dress with a pleated skirt bottom. It definitely has that sexy schoolgirl feel to it. It fits true to size, and the stretchy poly Lycra material makes it flattering and forgiving.

The Hermione outfit has a “Gryffindor-esque” crest on the chest, and comes with collar and necktie, wand, and wizard hat.
Plus Size Sexy Hermione Costume
<<< Great news! Voluptuous lady wizards of all sizes can also have the chance to turn heads in this costume. Get the plus size sexy Hermione costume in sizes 1X/2X or 3X/4X.

I’ll repeat the warning about the dress length — wear boy shorts underneath if you’re concerned about it.

Ben Franklin Costumes for Sale Online

Ben Franklin Costume for KidsDress like Ben Franklin, one of America’s most popular and enduring founding fathers. Here’s a costume you can use for school projects and plays, historical reenactments, 4th of July parades, and Halloween, of course.

This Ben Franklin costume for kids (left) is fashioned after the brown suit Franklin wore. It includes a long brown coat, shirt with attached vest and ruffle cuffs, pants and glasses.

>> Click to Buy this Benjamin Franklin Costume <<

Ben Franklin was a scientist, tinkerer and inventor, politician, philosopher, first Postmaster General of the U.S. Post Office, conceiver of Daylight Savings Time, and much, much more. We all know he was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. You see his friendly face on the $100 bill, and on practically everything in Philadelphia. Now let’s take a closer look at Benjamin Franklin costumes and the fashions of his day.

European aristocracy heavily influenced colonial dress. The popular dress of the day included shirts with full sleeves and sleeve ruffles, vests (waistcoats), knee breeches / knickers, wool stockings, buckle shoes, powdered wigs, and tricorn hats — the three-cornered hats that we picture when we think of colonial attire.

Ben Franklin was a fashion rebel of sorts, choosing to wear simple clothes and his own hair rather than the powdered wigs that were in style. He wore simple wire frame glasses, including the bifocals he invented when his vision began to decline.

Get Ben Franklin’s outfit, but be sure to pick up the wig (sold separately) to complete the look. For a cute costume prop, carry a kite, or an ink-dipped feather and parchment.

Save time and buy your Ben Franklin costume online. Check out these Ben Franklin costumes for adults and kids:
