LOL Thanks. It didnt cost me anything either, well, a buck, the bolts were from the dollarama store, and the rest is eyeliner and halloween face paint makeup.  the dollarstore has some great stuff, maybe u can find something there. Like, adult costumes, for instance, they have the fairies, bugs, etc. the wings can fit on your Big Paws ;) heehee
Good luck. and can't wait to see what you've chosen

Oh my goodness the costumes are toooo cute!

Well I actually used to make custom costumes before our son was born in March.  I dress up the pooches every year.  Finnegan was a cowboy once while Hexi was the horse.  ;D

Here is the costume that always gets the most attention.  Finnegan's Kissing Booth costume. LOL

Those costumes are great! :) I was just thinking about halloween yesterday and I was looking for costumes for Jasmine too, and couldn't find any "big paws" costumes. They're all for little dogs.

I love the kissing booth!!! That's hilarious!!!

The other day I was in Pet Smart and asked them if they had any costumes to fit dogs 50+ and they all laughed at me.  ::)

I figured for Willow I'd paint a white stripe down her back and call her Pepe LePew since she has the most god awful smells coming from her booty at times. I call it booty funk. LOL  Tater is MUCH to dignified for a costume so he'll just stay at home to "protect" my mom and the house from the evil candy elves aka the trick or treaters.

it's a tough thing, but i think our big paws need special made costumes, which actually can be turned into a positive, because no other paw will have your costume! it's your "bigpaws original"!! hehe!  I sewed a helmet out of felt for fumble's football costume last year, but that's when he was about 12 weeks old.. i'm going for a long shot here, but i don't think it's going to fit him now! lol!

I know this is a dead thread.. but Halloween is getting much closer now :)
Anyone lacking a big paw costume and has a local value village should check out their accessories..
Cheap wings in all styles and colours.. Fairy skirts, etc.

I know Cider is the odd one out since she isn't a big paw since I can't have one yet :(  But I got a tutu for a 3 year old for 1.49 there last week.  Thought I could turn the dane I don't have yet into a unicorn :)
