It would be even better if the person wearing the costume actually worked at a DMV.

Still trying to figure out what type of fabric you used to make this!

have actually seen these photos & her others as well - she's a professional photographer & actually made the costume herself in order to take these images of her work! sensational work & i've always adored sloths as we have so much in common (it's my worst sin) & i even do fair impression!

One year, I was working at a warehouse, so I took a big cardboard box and wrapped it all up in Christmas paper. I wore it over a white sweatsuit, wore white face makeup, and sprayed my hair white. I was the Ghost of Christmas Present. No one got it.

I got it. Thanks for sharing because I too have done similar stuff and no one got it.

I come here for inspiration and I leave feeling even more incompetent and unoriginal than before. Great job to those people, though.

Aw man, i am so jealous! Here in France, people are so uncreative when it comes to Halloween costumes. Last year, I went to my brother's party as Virginia from the movie "Spider Baby" (because she is so cute, even if she believe she is a spider and stabs people to death.), but no one got it! :(

Wow! Really creative and innovative! (the only thing is, Halloween is about the world of death, ghosts, horror and so on...so some costumes always do not make sense....) Stll awesome :)

Agreed - some of them are just Fancy Dress - but brilliant all the same
