Sometimes the ability to accessorize a costume takes a Halloween look from good to great, and the accessories available for the Spiderina costume make that “greatness” possible. This costume is built upon a traditional ‘witch’ base, but uses pink and green colors for a bright interpretation and a spider theme to keep it on the cute but creepy side.

The costume, at $44.99, is available in sizes small (6) to extra-large (12), and features a frilly dress that comes with a belt, layers of tulle for a skirt, and separate arm warmers and leggings — yes, in green and black! The pink pointy collar really gives the dress a dignified feel, but it’s the accessories (purchased separately) that add more color and funk. One of these is the Spiderina hat, available for $14.99, that is green-and-black striped (to match the arm warmers and leggings) and that has a spider hanging off the top.

Black shoes with a bit of a heel also can be purchased for $29.99. These come in four sizes and are very witch-like — in other words, not for everyday wear because the belt strap across the top makes for an unusual look. A matching broom is for sale for $14.99 and a Spiderina bag, to hold all those candy treats, can also be purchased for $14.99.

If budget is of concern, the hat and the shoes would be the top accessory recommendations to make the costume complete.
