How to Find an Aladdin Costume

Halloween is the time of the year to dress up as someone you admire. Many people choose to be Aladdin. His story is exotic and he is somewhat of an unlikely hero. Finding the perfect Aladdin costume can be a breeze if you know where to look.

• Check online. Many online costume stores stock Aladdin costumes. You may have to look for them under a different name such as "prince costume" or "Persian prince costume." The only problem with buying online is that you are not able to try on the costume.


• Visit your local costume store. As Halloween approaches, many pop-up costume shops will appear. Check these shops to see if they have an Aladdin costume. If you want a higher quality costume, you may have to go to a professional costume shop.


• Find a pattern. If you have no luck looking in retail locations, you may be able to find a downloadable Aladdin costume pattern online. If you are skilled with sewing you may be able to sew the costume you need.


• Put the pieces together. If you cannot find the costume in the retail locations and you cannot sew, you may be able to put the costume together from pieces you already own. The costume would call for baggy pants, a vest and a hat.


• Try major retailers. As the days inch closer to Halloween, many large retail stores begin putting out their Halloween costumes. You may be able to sift through their hundreds of costumes to locate the perfect Aladdin costume.
