10 Childhood Halloween Costume Ideas to Steal Right Now

"Even from a young age, I was drawn to New York City! My mom used to sew all of my costumes for me. I remember standing in her sitting room for hours as she pinned fabrics around me. I'd fidget and complain, but the results were always fabulous! This one was a collaboration by the two of us, one of the first I remember having a hand in making. With no pattern to follow, we created it completely on our own. Making the crown out of tinfoil was 100 percent my idea!"
