This one really cracks me up. Bennett has grown up with a father that dives for abalone any chance he gets. So being a diver for Halloween was a natural choice.Click on photo to enlarge.
A dig through his toy bin for his firefighter apparatus and summer swim-gear, basic black socks, a little thievery from his sister’s gymnastic-suit drawer and some extremely basic sewing with lycra and gluing with foam sheet cut-outs & ribbon, we came up with this darling little suit!
Here’s the basic concept for the parts of the costume I made from Lycra/Spandex, Yellow grosgrain ribbon and foam sheets. The socks were put on over his shoes to simulate diver’s booties.
I’m surprised he took that mouth piece off long enough to eat his candy. He felt pretty cool in this get-up!

Too cute! I miss the days of shameless youth...dare I suggest a homecooked meal let alone a handmade anything to Puberty Man! I can't wait until he's 30! Until then, I have a 9 year old that thinks I'm the Diane von Furstenberg of costume couture!
Totally love it! My high school senior son is totally into diving up in the Northwest. As soon as he sees this, he'll want to dress up for Halloween : ) Thankfully he can just use his own wetsuit : )
awesome.
So cute! You could even make the outfit red and be Scuba Steve! Aww.
The last time I dressed up for halloween, I was a "bobby soxer" (pretty simple costume) when I was.. 19? 20? I'm 22 now - I still want to dress up as a homemade bee sometime!
