Modest Girl Costume Ideas
Looking for modest girl costume ideas that still feel fun? These looks can be made with thrifted clothes, pieces from your closet, or a ready-made costume. Choose the fit, hem length, and coverage that feel comfortable to you, then add a few recognizable accessories. Below are 24 character and dress-up ideas with practical costume-piece lists.
Opting for modest costumes opens up a broader range of character choices that emphasize intelligence, bravery, and other admirable qualities, encouraging girls to identify with strong and empowered role models. By celebrating Halloween in modest costumes, young girls can have a memorable and empowering experience while promoting a culture of self-respect and inclusivity.
Over the years our kids have had some amazing costumes for trick or treat, school dress up, Halloween parties, and more! Our kids love to dress up when going to Disneyland, to Oogie Boogie Bash and Dapper Day.For our girls, they want cute costumes that they do not feel too exposed in; that is simply more fun for them. Below are some ideas for modest costumes for your child.
Where to buy Modest Girl’s Costumes
Many of these costumes can be purchased online or can be made with thrifted pieces. Our costumes usually consist of a couple clothing items that can be worn again. We personally love to hunt for costume pieces early and curate an outfit entirely from thrifted pieces. We know that you cannot always take this time so we also have posted direct affiliate links to premade costumes that are well made and a reasonable price. Before you shop for a new modest costume online we suggest thrifting, Facebook market place, Poshmark, or even asking to organize a costume swap at a local school or church. The best part about modest girl costumes, or modest costumes in general, is that most of the time, they can be put together. You can still have an adorable halloween costume, and save some money.

Does your costume need to be modest? Absolutely not. If you want to be modest that is great, but I am not here to shame a girl, woman, or female-presenting person into being modest. It is 2022 (or whatever time you are reading this!) and you can dress however YOU want! But if you are most comfortable covered up, we hope these are some fun ideas for you. What are your favorite ideas for modest girl costumes? Are there some modest girl costumes that we have not thought of here?
