Dress Up Fun with Anytime Costumes Review & Giveaway

     As an adult I think about costumes once a year at Halloween.  But as a mom and teacher I think about costumes all the time for fun dress up.  You can't always find them out int he stores year round, but at Anytime Costumes you can find them well.. Anytime!
      AnytimeCostumes.com is a year-round source for adult costumes, child costumes, plus-size costumes, costume accessories, theatrical make-up, masks, wigs, beards, props and holiday decorations.  AnytimeCostumes.com is a family owned and operated company.  They don’t show you costumes that they don’t have available to ship. They also ship 95% of the orders received by 2:00 pm Eastern time the same business day!
     Jayden is not always open to dress up, maybe because he prefers to wear as little as possible.  But he will join in on occasion.  After watching an episode of Caillou, yes he loves it, he saw Caillou pretend to be a Pirate and he wanted to be one too.  So I was happy when Anytime Costumes contacted me about doing a review and giveaway.  I immediately went to the toddler costumes and found the pirate costumes and picked one out. 
     We received the costume only a few days later.  I was sent the Toddler Pirate Ahoy Matey Costume and the Pirate Cutlass.  When we received the costume Jayden was very excited at first.  Of course he wanted the sword, but was reluctant to put on the costume in its entirety.  Jayden is a very slow to warm up child even when it comes to dressing up.  I know funny since most all children LOVE to dress up.  I continued to try and convince Jayden that the costume would be fun, but I could not get him to put it on.  Watch as soon as this posts or worse when it ends he will beg to put it on.  He looks at it everyday and asks me, is that my pirate costume.  If I can get him in the costume and get a picture then I will share with you. 
     The toddler Pirate Ahoy Matey Costume itself is well made.  I didn't find any loose threads or anything like I often find on costumes from the local stores.   The pants have a couple of fake patches on the knee and the bottom is jagged edged.  The shirt is a 3/4 sleeve white shirt with a red vest attached.  The shirt is also well made with no extra stings.  The vest is attached to the shirt so it is not easily lost and separated.  The belt sash is red and black stripes with a skull buckle.  The skull is a rubber material so it looks like metal, but is not heavy like metal.  The head wrap is also in a red and black strip and has a skull made out of rubber material.  I am very happy with the overall look of this costume and how well it is made.

     The Pirate Cutlass is made with a hard plastic.  It is 21 inches long.  Jayden does love the cutlass.  He likes to swing it around like he is fighting.  It is very light weight and easy for Jayden to handle.  The pirate cutlass really makes the outfit and helps to give that finishing touch. 

     Although I knew what costume we wanted to get I still took a few minutes to look through to see what else they have.  In the classroom we love to act out some of our favorite stories.  Look at these great costumes I found.. all great for dress up, not just Halloween. 

 

     Anytime costumes also has a large selection of adult costumes.  When was the last time you attended a costume party? AnytimeCostumes.com is a great place to find the perfect costume for that party.  Or I have attended princess parties for my nieces where everyone should be dressed like a princess.  I know that many stores sell princess dress up clothes, but often they are not made well and tear easily.  The Costumes from AnytimeCostumes.com are well made and sent with care.
