Are you looking for an authentic Hansel Costume for Halloween or an Oktoberfest party?

I dressed in a Hansel costume last year for Halloween and had great fun with it. The costume was authentic looking but was much cheaper than buying a pair of real Lederhosen (and I had to laugh when most people thought it was the real thing anyway). I decided to get it from www.buycostumes.com because they were one of the cheapest but more important to me was the number of user reviews they had on the site from people who had bought the costume in the past. I always like to get a first hand reccomendation on things I buy so this swayed it for me and they weren’t wrong – it was a great fun costume, it fits pretty well and was delivered promptly. The only complaint I had with the Hansel costume is that it was a little difficult to unzip when you need a toilet break but not bad enough to be too much of a problem. So if you are off to an Oktoberfest party or want something different for this Halloween I recomend a Hansel costume wholeheartedly.

My wife was so jealous of all the good compliments I got last year that she says whe is going to go as Gretel the beer girl this October so I will have to dust down the old Hansel costume and wear it again this year. I can’t wait to see what our friends here in Michigan are going to say when they see us both dressed up ha ha.

There are a number of different Hansel costumes you can choose from so it really comes down to personal taste – I went with the Hansel Elite Costume and was very impresses with it. I’ve reviewed a selection of the best Hansel and Gretel costumes for you on this site. If you are planning an Oktoberfest party then why not also consider a Bavarian Beer Lady costume for your wife or girlfriend? She will turn heads and feel fun and sexy. A Hansel costume is definitely a fun and easy option so enjoy some of the ideas below? Cheers!!!
