Description
This cute Halloween costume for women is a soft yellow hooded cape with pointed black-tipped ears and an embroidered face on the hood, a black layered tulle skirt, a belt and black gloves, for $167.18 as a full set or $131.98 for the cape alone. Sizes run S to 3XL for heights from 150 to 185cm.
Women's Halloween costumes tend to fall into two camps: scary, or skimpy. A lot of people want neither - they want something cute, comfortable and warm enough for an evening outdoors, which matters in Australia where Halloween falls on a spring night that can turn cool. A hooded cape solves most of that. It goes on over a plain black outfit in seconds, it covers your shoulders and arms, the hood keeps your head warm, and the jagged hem and ears give it a strong, playful silhouette that reads clearly in photos.

Why a Hooded Cape Costume Works
-
Cute, not scary - a playful costume for people who would rather charm than frighten.
-
Warm on a spring night - the hood and cape cover your head, shoulders and arms.
-
Goes over normal clothes - wear a black top and leggings underneath and you are done.
-
A strong silhouette - pointed ears and a jagged hem read clearly in photos and across a room.
-
Sized by height - six sizes from 150 to 185cm, with a separate waist measurement for the skirt.
How Do You Choose the Right Size?
Start with your height, then check your waist against the skirt measurement for that size. The cape length barely changes between sizes - 67cm on the S and just over 70cm on the 3XL - so the cape fits across a wide range, and the skirt waist is the measurement that matters most. If you are between sizes, go by your waist, because the elastic tulle skirt is the piece that has to sit comfortably all night. If you only want the cape, the one-size cape-only option skips the sizing question altogether.
What Should You Wear Under a Cape Costume?
Keep it simple and dark so the yellow cape stands out. A fitted black long-sleeve top and black tights or leggings work with the full set, and the gloves finish the look. Choose flat black shoes or boots you can stand in for hours. If the night is warm, swap the long sleeves for a black singlet - the cape still covers your shoulders and arms.
Cape Only or Full Set - Which Should You Choose?
Choose the cape only if you already own a black skirt or dress and black gloves - the cape is the piece that makes the costume, and the rest is easy to put together from your wardrobe. Choose the full set if you want the complete look in one order, with the matching jagged-hem tulle skirt that echoes the cape's edge.
Buyers are typically women and older teens dressing for a Halloween party, people going to a cosplay event or anime convention, friends putting together a group costume, and anyone who wants a cute Halloween costume that is warm and easy to wear all night.
