Inexpensive vs. Expensive Costumes

Costumes that depict the characters from the Wizard of Oz are fairly easy to find, and are usually not expensive. For Halloween or a costume party, it can be great fun to get a large group of people together and have each person dress as a different character. Normally, each character�s outfit can be purchased for $30 or less. The costumes can also be handmade or pieced together using different household items.

However, there are also expensive costume versions for sale. The �deluxe� costumes that are for sale at Annies Costumes.com, for example, run from about $200 for Dorothy to around $350 for Glinda the Good Witch. These costumes are not the type that are normally purchased for a one-night event. Expensive costumes such as these can usually only be purchased by special order, and they are almost always non-returnable.

Identifying the Right Costume

Trying to decide which costume is the right one for an individual may be difficult. On the one hand, Dorothy is always a favorite because she�s sweet, determined, and likable. On the other hand, the Wicked Witch of the West is mean, green, and she has a great laugh.

To help determine exactly which character is the best suited for a person, it�s a good idea to take the �Which Character are You� quiz from Quizilla.com. The quiz asks users to select their best answers from a set of nine questions related to the Wizard of Oz. After the quiz is completed and the �Submit� button is clicked, the website will provide an answer to the question of which character is �you,� and which costume should be worn.
