Katy Perry Costume Review - Birthday in a Box Costumes

Disclaimer: I received the products mentioned below complementary from the sponsor in return for this review. My daughters and I always give our honest opinions and only bring you products that I believe my readers will benefit from and/or enjoy.

Most of you know that I have 2 daughters that are only 11 months apart. They are my everything and as they've gotten older I come to realize that Jade and Loran become more and more like me everyday. That's a bit scary in a since :) haha Not really, I just happen to have a bit of an attitude sometimes. But that's a story for another day! My girls are completely different when it comes to most things but it seems like their taste in most music is the same as well as the "older-aged" shows and movies. I say this because they are both CRAZY for Katy Perry! No joke! My little girls know almost every word to a many of Katy Perry's popular songs! I have a Concert DVD that Loran and Jade can't get enough of! They've been watching it over and over for the past couple days, dancing around and switching back and forth on who was going to wear their new Katy Perry costume dress that we received from Birthday in a Box! (They've even went to sleep watching the dvd for 3 nights straight! They tried to sleep in their dress but I made them change.)

Loran and Jade were at their Maw-Maw's house when the costume arrived and I couldn't wait for them to get home... One - because I missed them like crazy (They were gone for 10 days, out of town, 1 1/2 hrs away) and Two - I wanted to see their faces when I gave them their new costume!

My girls LOVE their Katy Perry dress! My favorite part about the costume is that when I chose a size Medium, I crossed my finders and hoped that it would fit both of them and was overjoyed when I realized that it did!! Both girls can wear the Katy Perry dress with no problem! Jade is the HUGE Katy Perry fan and she's worn the dress the most, every time I turn around I see that little candy colored dress bouncing around with a blonde head attached at the top! :) You may remember from the past tha Loran and Jade like to do video reviews of the products that we receive for them... so who could resist doing a video for the Katy Perry Costume! They aren't known for The Dancing Diva's for nothing!

If you would like to see more of Loran and Jade's videos, 
Find them on YouTube
Look for the Dancing Diva's Playlist on My Kind Of Introduction's YouTube page!!

You can kind of see the
blue wig on the costume bag!
(My camera flash gave off a glare
every-time I took this photo!)

The costume is a silky-like fabric and has light but vibrant colors throughout the dress and who can miss all of the candy that covers the top front of the dress. It's as cute as can be and both girls agree that their Katy Perry Costume is very comfy! Comfy dress-up clothes and/or Halloween gear are what we like best, no one wants to start itching from a tickling tulle skirt!
You can also purchase the blue Katy Perry wig (the one that has the heart on the side of her head) at Birthday in a Box as well. We chose not to get the wig due to the face that they don't last long at my house. (The girls had an orange wig once and it got all matted up quick!) Loran ad Jade don't miss the wig at all, they love the dress and that's all that matters in my book! Who knew so much attitude and sassy looks can come out of 3 little girls?! These girls sure know how to throw around the model poses and Mrs. Priss facial expression. 

Birthday in a Box has all kinds of costumes, party decorations Halloween decor and much more!

Make sure you visit the Birthday in a Box website to see what all they can offer you for your partying, Halloween and/or dress-up needs!! 

Dress-Up is not all glitter & glam... Boys can dress-up too!

Dress-Up:
NOT Just for Girls...
Boys Play Dress-Up too!
*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

When your hear a parent talking about their kids playing dress-up, most people automatically think they are talking about their daughters. Dress-up has always been known for being more of a girls activity but that's not always so. When my step-son is over at the house and his sisters are playing dress-up, he wants to play too. Of course he don't want any faerie wings or dresses to wear but a couple years ago he started asking me if I would find him some boy dress-up clothes so he could play with his sisters, So I agreed. I started at the best place I could think of to find dress-up clothes... Thrift Stores! They are always full of all kinds of different types of clothes for cheap. When looking for dress-up clothes for boys or girls, it's always easier to start with Halloween Costumes. Most of the work is done for you, personal touches is all that's needed.  Once the trick-or-treating is over, instead of boxing up the costumes, toss them in the dress up corner to be worn many more then just the 1 night! A lot of old Halloween costumes wind up at thrift shops once they're no longer needed. It's easy picking as long as you find the right sizes, a size or two bigger then normal is not a loss! This is the time to let all of your creative entertain out to play, use anything and everything that'll make your vision a reality! There's no wrong answer and mistakes are easy to fix. Just be sure to have fun and remember that anything goes!

Costume Ideas:

• To make a Cowboy Costume you could use a wore out pair of jeans, a flannel shirt, a brown vest, cowboy boots and hat and maybe a belt. (You can find cow-boy belts with plastic guns at The Dollar Tree)
• For a Mad Scientist you can use a pair of white cloth pants, an over sized button up white shirt (maybe a chefs coat). Add some black framed glasses and a few glass or plastic vases as the potion beakers.
• The options are endless!!

You may not find what your looking for on the first shopping trip, check back another day. Each shop you visit will be different then the rest and it's your job to find the diamond in the ruff!
Don't forget the flea markets!
Anything is possible when you get creative!

• If you like the Halloween Costume idea for dress-up clothes, wait until early November to buy the costumes. That's when the stores start their Halloween Sales to get rid of all the extra Halloween costumes and decorations so they can start getting ready for Thanksgiving. You can get costumes for just a few dollars! I like to buy a few of them when they're on sale and put a couple up for Christmas presents. 

My step-son now has his very own dress-up collection without a single girlie touch! We found a cape, things for a fireman, an army man, and a ninja  - just to name s few. He's happy and that's dll the matters! My kids play for hours, running around in their new dress-up clothes.
Watching that boy enjoy every ounce of playing dress-up with his sisters is why I whole-heartily believe that everyone dreams of s different life and playing dress-up is the perfect way to help dreams come true!
 “Dress-up being for Girls Only" is nothing but huge myth.

Boys pretend too!

You can also find lots of retailers on & offline that sale a variety clothing designs to insure each creative idea with the prefect outfit for play!     Make-believe is for everyone....
Boys and Girls, no matter the age!

The local costume store is an obviously great choice to find perfect add-on items to complete the look!
Get creative and use that fabulous brain of yours!!
Anyone up for a dress-up session?
