My daughter became obsessed with Disney’s Maleficent the moment we saw it.

I started off my Maleficent costume with 3 yards of black fabric to make a long black dress with drape like sleeves. Everything was measured to my height. For the horns I took a wire hanger, cut in half (one half for each horn) and shaped them like that of Maleficent using a picture for … Read more
This is my daughter Laila as Maleficent. I was very happy to find out my 5 year old gave me a fun and not horribly popular costume choice this year. I had to google a lot of images to really figure out how to put this one together. The body was pretty easy, I used … Read more
My daughter’s Halloween school party is fast approaching, she wanted to be beastly Maleficent, we’ve looked in every shop near us, amazon, ebay, american website NONE!

I got my inspiration for this Malecifent costume from a purple dress at a local thrift shop. From there I added a men’s silk robe and then proceeded to cut the sleeves and hem in a jagged fashion. I then glued purple material to be longer than the black sleeves and hem to make it … Read more
I worked on the Maleficent costume for about a week on and off, everyday. The biggest challenge for me was doing the collar, since I had to figure out a way for the collar to be huge and stand up at all times. The exaggeration on the horns was deliberate, I wanted them to pop … Read more
My son, 3 years old, insisted on being Maleficent from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty for Halloween this year.

I’ve always loved the character Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. She’s so dramatic, and I loved her headdress!
