Great Halloween costume for 9 year old girl

[Anonymous]

… That isn't a flapper girl, movie star, disco queen or the like. Is there a shopping site that I am missing? She is too old to be a witch or fairy or princess. I would love to find her fun alternatives to flapper girl, movie star, disco queen, go-go dancer.. etc. Those are the choices in Chasing Fireflies where "all the girls in my grade" are shopping. Please help!

Amelia Earhart? Sally Ride? Hillary Clinton? Hermoine from Harry Potter? What are her favorite books or activities?

When my DD was that age, they happened to be studying mythology in school that quarter and there were a number of Athenas and other various gods and goddesses that year. I think that year she went as Hermione. The next year my DD went as Katniss from the Hunger Games, and then put the bow to good use the year after when she went as Diana, goddess of the hunt, remembering the mythology phase her friends went through.

very easy to do--just get the head scarf on sideways and you're pretty much good to go.

OP, does it have to be a pre-made costume?

Bobby soxer/50s poodle skirt
an alien
Princess Leia (side buns not Jabba the hut sex slave)
Indiana Jones

Would be easy to buy or find various parts for.

You must be looking at a different Chasing Fireflies catalog. My DD is going to be an eagle.

What about Cinderella--pre-ball? Kerchief on the head, broom, and raggedy skirt.

Pirate
Sherlock Holmes
Vampire
Alice in Wonderland
Mary Poppins

Go homemade. Hit the thrift stores for clothes that can be up cycled into costumes.

The PP meant zombie Dora. That would be funny.
