So happy to finally share the awesome couples costumes that my husband and I are rocking this year: Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne’s outrageous formal wear from Dumb and Dumber!

I feel like we did a really good job capturing the overall feel of the ridiculous tuxedos worn in the movie without actually wearing tuxedos. This idea didn’t even strike me until we went to the Halloween store to pick out some more decorations for our kids at the beginning of October. As we were browsing, I decided to check out the clearance section to see of there were any good deals. The very first thing that caught my eye was the amazing bright orange suit that became my husband’s costume. It was down to $35 for a jacket, pants, and a tie. I immediately brought him over to check it out and asked if he would do a Dumb and Dumber couples costume with me. He agreed and we quickly found an orange top hat for him. I thought it would be fun to do a more feminine approach to Harry, but they didn’t have a top hat in baby blue. They did, however, have a top hat, a tutu skirt, and suspenders in royal blue. So we decided that would be close enough for what we had in mind. For shirts, I thought it would work well if we got shirts and added ruffle ribbon to them to give the appearance of a ruffly tuxedo shirt. My mom helped us handsew on the pieces of ribbon when fabric glue did not work. All in all, I honestly could not be more happy with how our costumes turned out. It was so fun seeing adults react to our costumes, even though the kids just didn’t get it. Here’s to nostalgic costumes!
